Introduction

BumbleVue is a community-driven, free and open-source UI component library for Vue.js, providing a wide range of customizable and responsive components to help developers build modern web applications with ease.

The project forked from PrimeVue, created by PrimeTek. In June 2026, PrimeTek archived PrimeVue and its other open-source projects and transferred to a closed-source, dual-license model with a limited free community license. Thus, BumbleVue was created to continue the development of the open-source version of PrimeVue and to provide a community-driven alternative for developers who prefer open-source software and transparency.

BumbleVue can be styled in two modes; styled or unstyled. Styled mode is based on pre-skinned components with opinionated theme variants of PrimeOne design like Aura, Lara or Nora presets. Unstyled mode on the other hand, leaves the styling to you while implementing the functionality and accessibility. Unstyled mode provides full control over the styling with no boundaries by implementing a pluggable architecture to utilize CSS libraries like Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, Bulma or your own custom CSS.

PassThrough is an innovative API to provide access to the internal DOM elements to add arbitrary attributes. In general, traditional UI component libraries encapsulate UI and logic with limited APIs that makes the developers dependant on the library maintainer to extend this API by adding new props or events. With Pass Through this limitation has been eliminated since, you'll be able to access the internal of the components to add events and attributes. Some common use-cases are adding test attributes, additional aria attributes, custom events and styling.

BumbleVue has WCAG 2.1 AA level compliance; each component has a dedicated accessibility section to document several aspects, including keyboard and screen reader support. View the accessibility guide to learn more.
