Vue 2 currently does not support Array subclassing (Vue 3 development branch already does). I will convert this into a feature request.

I needed this as well and made it work in user-land. When Vue 3 arrives you can remove it.

export function makeReactive (obj) {
  // eslint-disable-next-line no-proto
  const proto = obj.__proto__

  Object.defineProperty(obj, '__proto__', {
    get () { return proto },
    // eslint-disable-next-line no-proto
    set (newValue) { proto.__proto__ = newValue }
  })
}

import { makeReactive } from 'util'

export default class UserCollection extends Array {
  constructor (...args) {
    super(...args)

    makeReactive(this)
  }
}
