You can embed a Vue.js application inside a Webflow page using the Custom Code Embed or the Page Settings > Custom Code fields. Yes, others have successfully done this, but it comes with important limitations and requirements.
1. Where You Can Embed Vue.js
- Use the Embed element in the Webflow Designer to place Vue.js inside a specific section of a page.
- Alternatively, place the Vue.js script tags inside the Custom Code section of your page settings — specifically in the Before area for correct script execution.
2. Key Requirements for Success
- Include Vue.js from a CDN (e.g., https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue@2 or Vue 3).
- Create a unique container element in HTML (like
<div id="app"></div>) in the Embed element. - Initialize Vue only once Webflow loads (to avoid issues from Webflow’s page rendering lifecycle).
3. Common Challenges Faced
- Webflow manages the DOM, so Vue apps should be scoped in their own element and mounted only after the DOM is ready.
- Interactions or animations built in Webflow can interfere with Vue rendering if both affect the same nodes.
- SSR or advanced Vue plugins can't be fully used — this is strictly a small client-side Vue SPA approach.
4. Example of Success Cases
- Developers have integrated Vue components (like calculators, single-page widgets, or forms) into Webflow.
- They typically keep the Vue logic modular and host shared resources (like component templates or external APIs) outside Webflow when needed.
Summary
Yes, you can embed a Vue.js application in Webflow using the Embed element or Custom Code areas. Many users have done so successfully for self-contained Vue components. Proper scoping and DOM management are essential to avoid conflicts with Webflow’s native rendering.
