How can I enable syntax highlighting for .vue files in Atom?

The Vue.js project maintains Awesome Vue.js, "a curated list of awesome things related to Vue.js".

This includes a list of useful Atom packages for Vue.js:

Note that currently the language-vue and language-vue-component do not play nicely together, as discussed here. For now, for syntax highlighting in Atom your best bet is language-vue only.


Use in your command prompt:

apm install language-vue

for syntax highlighting.

There is another Atom package which seems to only beautify it but doesn't do syntax highlighting:

apm install vue-format

You may need to exit Atom and then restart it.


language-vue package adds syntax highlighting to Vue components.

There is also another package to beautify your code. Install atom-beautify package. It has Vue beautifier preinstalled.
