Use HTML/CSS/JS plugins for VueJS files

Often vim plugins and configs activate for a certain filetype, so set your filetype in the current buffer. For example, I want currently want to use html highlighting and omni completion for .vue, you can do this in your .vue file:

setlocal filetype=vue.html

Even better, you can use autocmd so that you don’t have to type it yourself every time you start editing a .vue file:

autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.vue setlocal filetype=vue.html

Word of warning though: Some plugins will scan through the whole files that might raise false alarms (e.g. linters). So doing something like this can cause problems:

setlocal filetype=vue.html.css.javascript

This can be useful for quick, one-off tasks like indentation.

I’ll update as soon as I get better a better way of handling this, but I really like the no-vim-plugin solution for now.
