FAQ

Q: Element UI vs Element Plus？ A: Element UI is the Vue 2 version and no longer gets new features. Vue 3 projects must use Element Plus. Most of the API is compatible.

Q: On-demand imports? A: npm i -D unplugin-auto-import unplugin-vue-components, and use ElementPlusResolver to auto-import components and styles on demand.

Q: Element Plus or Vuetify — which should I choose? A: Chinese-language projects and B2B admin backends tend to prefer Element Plus (bigger ecosystem in China); pick Vuetify if you want the Material Design look.
