The version of vue.js used is unknown.

Question

I installed itnpm install -g @vue/cli

After installation, I create a projectvue create hello-world

After creating the project, I run the following command: npm list vue Returns `-- [email protected]. This indicates that the project is using vue.js version 3.2.20

But if you look at package.json, the version of "vue" will be indicated there: "vue": "^3.0.0",

This confuses me. How to fix it? It's not clear to me which version is used in this project. If I go to vue ui then version 3.2.20 is shown there as well. But the project's package.json shows the version is 3.0.0. How to fix it? Explain what's going on?

Answer 1

The caret (^) in

package.json means that Vue will be updated to all future minor versions, but not beyond the major version (version 3 in your case).

The version you get through npm list vue, 3.2.20 conforms to this rule 3.X.X
