Vue的初始化发生在instance/index。他通过调用_init()方法来实现初始化的。
在_init()函数实现的步骤如下

resolveConstructorOptions

首先会调用resolveConstructorOptions方法对vm的选项进行合并。源码入选

//options._isComponent = undefined
  if (options && options._isComponent) {
      // optimize internal component instantiation
      // since dynamic options merging is pretty slow, and none of the
      // internal component options needs special treatment.
      initInternalComponent(vm, options)
    } else {
//执行这个方法
      vm.$options = mergeOptions(
        resolveConstructorOptions(vm.constructor),
        options || {},
        vm
      )
    }

合并完成之后会生成很多属性componens，directs,filters，componens中间会生成默认的3个组件KeepAlive Transition TransitionGroup

initLifecycle(vm)

initLifecycle(vm) 初始化组件的root,$child. initLifecycle(vm) 的源码如下

export function initLifecycle (vm: Component) {
  const options = vm.$options

  // locate first non-abstract parent
  let parent = options.parent
  if (parent && !options.abstract) {
    while (parent.$options.abstract && parent.$parent) {
      parent = parent.$parent
    }
    parent.$children.push(vm)
  }

  vm.$parent = parent
  vm.$root = parent ? parent.$root : vm

  vm.$children = []
  vm.$refs = {}

  vm._watcher = null
  vm._inactive = null
  vm._directInactive = false
  vm._isMounted = false
  vm._isDestroyed = false
  vm._isBeingDestroyed = false
}

initEvents

initEvents初始化事件，主要目的是让事件的派发着和事件的执行者是同一个人。源码如下

 vm._events = Object.create(null)
  vm._hasHookEvent = false
  // init parent attached events
  const listeners = vm.$options._parentListeners
  if (listeners) {
    updateComponentListeners(vm, listeners)
  }

initRender

initRender 设置vm的一些属性，其中包括createElement listeners

export function initRender (vm: Component) {
  vm._vnode = null // the root of the child tree
  vm._staticTrees = null // v-once cached trees
  const options = vm.$options
  const parentVnode = vm.$vnode = options._parentVnode // the placeholder node in parent tree
  const renderContext = parentVnode && parentVnode.context
  vm.$slots = resolveSlots(options._renderChildren, renderContext)
  vm.$scopedSlots = emptyObject
  // bind the createElement fn to this instance
  // so that we get proper render context inside it.
  // args order: tag, data, children, normalizationType, alwaysNormalize
  // internal version is used by render functions compiled from templates
  vm._c = (a, b, c, d) => createElement(vm, a, b, c, d, false)
  // normalization is always applied for the public version, used in
  // user-written render functions.
  vm.$createElement = (a, b, c, d) => createElement(vm, a, b, c, d, true)

  // $attrs & $listeners are exposed for easier HOC creation.
  // they need to be reactive so that HOCs using them are always updated
  const parentData = parentVnode && parentVnode.data

  /* istanbul ignore else */
  if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
    defineReactive(vm, '$attrs', parentData && parentData.attrs || emptyObject, () => {
      !isUpdatingChildComponent && warn(`$attrs is readonly.`, vm)
    }, true)
    defineReactive(vm, '$listeners', options._parentListeners || emptyObject, () => {
      !isUpdatingChildComponent && warn(`$listeners is readonly.`, vm)
    }, true)
  } else {
    defineReactive(vm, '$attrs', parentData && parentData.attrs || emptyObject, null, true)
    defineReactive(vm, '$listeners', options._parentListeners || emptyObject, null, true)
  }
}

接着是挂载beforeCreate钩子函数

initInjections

initInjections主要是注入祖先元素提供的数据。源码如下

export function initInjections (vm: Component) {
  const result = resolveInject(vm.$options.inject, vm)
  if (result) {
    toggleObserving(false)
    Object.keys(result).forEach(key => {
      /* istanbul ignore else */
      if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
        defineReactive(vm, key, result[key], () => {
          warn(
            `Avoid mutating an injected value directly since the changes will be ` +
            `overwritten whenever the provided component re-renders. ` +
            `injection being mutated: "${key}"`,
            vm
          )
        })
      } else {
        defineReactive(vm, key, result[key])
      }
    })
    toggleObserving(true)
  }
}

initState

initState初始化组件的数据。initState首先会初始化props数据，接着是Methos数据，然后在是data数据，在是computer数据，最后是watcher数据。源码如下

export function initState (vm: Component) {
  vm._watchers = []
  const opts = vm.$options
  if (opts.props) initProps(vm, opts.props)
  if (opts.methods) initMethods(vm, opts.methods)
  if (opts.data) {
    initData(vm)
  } else {
    observe(vm._data = {}, true /* asRootData */)
  }
  if (opts.computed) initComputed(vm, opts.computed)
  if (opts.watch && opts.watch !== nativeWatch) {
    initWatch(vm, opts.watch)
  }
}

initInjections

initInjections 提供给后代元素的初始化。源码如下

export function initInjections (vm: Component) {
  const result = resolveInject(vm.$options.inject, vm)
  if (result) {
    toggleObserving(false)
    Object.keys(result).forEach(key => {
      /* istanbul ignore else */
      if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
        defineReactive(vm, key, result[key], () => {
          warn(
            `Avoid mutating an injected value directly since the changes will be ` +
            `overwritten whenever the provided component re-renders. ` +
            `injection being mutated: "${key}"`,
            vm
          )
        })
      } else {
        defineReactive(vm, key, result[key])
      }
    })
    toggleObserving(true)
  }
}

$mount

最后是$mount的调用。完成整个Vue实例对象的初始化
