| description | Integrate markstream-vue2 into a Vue 2.6 or 2.7 app. Use when Codex needs Vue 2-compatible setup, `@vue/composition-api` decisions, CSS wiring, optional peer setup, or scoped Markstream overrides in a Vue 2 repository that is not specifically Vue CLI / Webpack 4 constrained. |
Markstream Vue 2
Use this skill when the host app is Vue 2 and not specifically a Vue CLI / Webpack 4 edge case.
Workflow
- Confirm the repo is Vue 2.6 or 2.7.
- Install
markstream-vue2.
- Add
@vue/composition-api only when the repo is Vue 2.6 and uses Composition API patterns.
- Import
markstream-vue2/index.css after resets.
- Start with
<MarkdownRender :content="markdown" />.
- For AI chat or streaming UIs, keep
content and use built-in smooth streaming first.
smooth-streaming="auto" is the default and activates when typewriter=true or max-live-nodes <= 0.
typewriter only controls the blinking cursor and defaults to false.
fade controls node enter and streamed-text fade animations and defaults to true.
- Streaming vs recovering history: in chat UIs the same
MarkdownRender starts streaming and later switches to history when final=true.
- Streaming:
smooth-streaming="auto", :fade="false", typewriter=true. Smooth pacing handles gradual appearance; fade would flicker.
- Recovering history:
:smooth-streaming="false", :fade="true", typewriter=false. Content is already complete — pacing would slow it down, but fade gives a polished entry animation.
- Dynamic switch:
:smooth-streaming="isStreaming ? 'auto' : false", :fade="!isStreaming".
- Move to
nodes + final only for worker-preparsed content, shared AST stores, or custom AST control.
- Remember that
html-policy now defaults to safe, and Mermaid strict mode is on by default through mermaid-props.
- Use scoped custom component mappings when the task needs overrides or trusted tags.
- Validate with the smallest useful dev or build command.
Default Decisions
- Vue 2.7 can use built-in Composition API support.
- Vue 2.6 needs
@vue/composition-api only when the codebase actually relies on Composition API.
- If the repo is Vue CLI / Webpack 4, prefer
markstream-vue2-cli.
- If the repo is Vue 2 plus Vite worker imports, prefer
markstream-vue2-vite.
- Keep
html-policy="safe" and Mermaid strict mode unless the task is preserving trusted legacy rendering.
- If a trusted surface needs older behavior, use
html-policy="trusted" and :mermaid-props="{ isStrict: false }" only on that surface and explain why.
