The complete master-list based on part 1 and part 2 of the best Vue UI component libraries and frameworks lists for 2019.

As the star-wars are raging, Vue.js recently passed React in the number of GitHub stars. Although still behind React in the sheer number of downloads according to NPM, the popularity of Vue.js seems to be growing.

Like React, one of Vue’s best features is the ability to compose your UI using isolated and modular components. To help build your next application faster, here are some of the best UI component libraries out there in 2019.
