Any plan to remove the dependency on vue-demi?

Confirmation

• I can confirm this is a feature request for the Vue component instead of ECharts itself.

Looking at vue-demi, I couldn't help but notice their notice that reads that vue-demi should not be used for new projects and will be deprecated in the future. I understand that vue-echarts is not a new project, but what about the day vue-demi is deprecated? In fact, is there still a need to support Vue 2 going forward?

I share your view. VueUse has dropped vue-demi in v12, and Pinia has dropped vue-demi in v3.

Since ECharts v6 is planned to be released soon apache/echarts#19959 , IMO we could both end support of Vue 2 and upgrade ECharts to v6 in the next major release. Users who still want to use Vue-ECharts in Vue 2 can just stay on Vue-ECharts v7 which is very stable.

I looked into it, and it seems that ECharts 6 will be released in about a month or two. When that happens, I think we can go with the strategy @kingyue737 suggested—upgrade to ECharts 6 and drop Vue 2 support at the same time, and release vue-echarts@8.

Thanks @Justineo and @kingyue737, this seems like a good way forward.

This is already in progress. Let's track it here: #828
