Vue-material: is safe to use beta version in production?

[medioseureka]

it is safe to use your beta version, should i wait or i have to use old version?

[tachiaus]

The new version appears to be much faster, and has a nicer look and feel to it.

I have been building a site to be used in production with it, the present beta 7 has a few issues with IE.

I think the issues will be ironed out by reading the threads here though.

From my experience using it for a little bit while developing an app it seems pretty stable... there are some bugs that are a little annoying but nothing too serious.

[medioseureka]

I am planning using it in two proyects and I like the first version, well I will give it a try, than you

@Gagydzer you can add https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/polyfill#installation polyfills and it should work in IE and other mobile browsers that doesnt support few things

I've developed a PWA with vue-material@beta and in a list of 20 items the scroll was pretty slow, so I re-wrote with vuetify and now it's smooth.

It seems to be not ready for production yet.

@romuloalves I've experienced the same issue in one of my side projects.

I'm running 3 private projects using vue-material@beta-7, working without issues. But Vue Material IS NOT production ready yet, for big projects with lots of pages and lots of resources, like any other alpha/beta framework. This includes Vue Material, Vuetify, iView, Buefy and many others. In fact the 0.8.1 version of Vue Material have less bugs than beta version, which doesn't mean that it's better.

We are still working on bugs and performance improvements to fine tune it to be stable enough for those scenarios.

We have plans to release a new version (beta 8) this month, with several bug fixes and documentation improvements. I personally got some problems with a dead computer, so that's why is taking longer that we expected. I will buy a new one soon! 😆

Stay tuned! :)

@romuloalves @felipekm Can you detail better the issue? I've tested the md-list component with more than 100 items, in an 2011 mac mini, and everything went well. Maybe you created a scenario that I didn't covered.

[romuloalves]

@marcosmoura It was in Android 7.1.1 (Moto X4 - Google Chrome).
Every list item has its own input field.

I'm going to re-test in the next pre-release.

[marcosmoura]

Cool! Thanks!
I will try to address this fix to next version. I think ripple component on list item may create a performance glitchy. I will take a look asap

[Samuell1]

@romuloalves can you try turning off ripple with this.$material.ripple = false ?
