During development, you can include it via CDN:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\n&amp;lt;!-- development version with helpful console warnings --&gt;\n&amp;lt;script src=&quot;https:\/\/cdn.jsdelivr.net\/npm\/vue@2\/dist\/vue.js&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;\/script&gt;\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>With that one script, Vue is ready to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Simple Example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a minimal example to show how Vue works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HTML<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\n&amp;lt;div id=&quot;quantum&quot;&gt;\n  {{ atom }}\n&amp;lt;\/div&gt;\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>JavaScript<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nvar app = new Vue({\n  el: '#quantum',\n  data: {\n    atom: 'Hello Electrons'\n  }\n})\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Output<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nHello Electrons\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How It Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>new Vue()<\/code> creates a Vue instance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <code>el<\/code> property binds Vue to the HTML element with the ID <code>#quantum<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <code>data<\/code> property holds values you want to display in the DOM.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Anytime you update <code>atom<\/code>, Vue automatically updates the DOM for you. No need for manual DOM manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Without Vue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In plain JavaScript or jQuery, you\u2019d have to manually select and update elements:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\n\/\/ Vanilla JavaScript\nvar app = document.getElementById('quantum');\n\n\/\/ jQuery\nvar app = $(\"#quantum\");\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>With Vue, data binding is built in, making your code cleaner and more reactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Developers Love VueJS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reactive data binding<\/strong>: DOM updates automatically when data changes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simple syntax<\/strong>: Easy to learn for beginners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flexible<\/strong>: Works for small projects or large apps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Great documentation<\/strong>: Clear, beginner-friendly, and well-maintained.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This example is just the beginning of what Vue can do.
