注册全局静态方法component,在options上面挂载name,template等属性。

function initAssetRegisters (Vue) {
  ASSET_TYPES.forEach(function (type) {
    Vue[type] = function (
      id,
      definition
    ) {
      if (!definition) {
        return this.options[type + 's'][id]
      } else {
        /* istanbul ignore if */
        if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && type === 'component') {
          validateComponentName(id);
        }
        if (type === 'component' && isPlainObject(definition)) {
          definition.name = definition.name || id;
          definition = this.options._base.extend(definition);
        }
        if (type === 'directive' && typeof definition === 'function') {
          definition = { bind: definition, update: definition };
        }
        this.options[type + 's'][id] = definition;
        return definition
      }
    };
  });
}

export function initExtend (Vue: GlobalAPI) {
  /**
   * Each instance constructor, including Vue, has a unique
   * cid. This enables us to create wrapped "child
   * constructors" for prototypal inheritance and cache them.
   */
  Vue.cid = 0
  let cid = 1

  /**
   * 将name,template属性挂载到option对象上面
   */
  Vue.extend = function (extendOptions: Object): Function {
    extendOptions = extendOptions || {}
    const Super = this
    const SuperId = Super.cid
    const cachedCtors = extendOptions._Ctor || (extendOptions._Ctor = {})
    if (cachedCtors[SuperId]) {
      return cachedCtors[SuperId]
    }

    const name = extendOptions.name || Super.options.name
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && name) {
      validateComponentName(name)
    }

    const Sub = function VueComponent (options) {
      this._init(options)
    }
    Sub.prototype = Object.create(Super.prototype)
    Sub.prototype.constructor = Sub
    Sub.cid = cid++
    Sub.options = mergeOptions(
      Super.options,
      extendOptions
    )

    // For props and computed properties, we define the proxy getters on
    // the Vue instances at extension time, on the extended prototype. This
    // avoids Object.defineProperty calls for each instance created.
    if (Sub.options.props) {
      initProps(Sub)
    }
    if (Sub.options.computed) {
      initComputed(Sub)
    }

    // allow further extension/mixin/plugin usage
    Sub.extend = Super.extend
    Sub.mixin = Super.mixin
    Sub.use = Super.use

    // create asset registers, so extended classes
    // can have their private assets too.
    ASSET_TYPES.forEach(function (type) {
      Sub[type] = Super[type]
    })
    // enable recursive self-lookup
    if (name) {
      Sub.options.components[name] = Sub
    }

    // keep a reference to the super options at extension time.
    // later at instantiation we can check if Super's options have
    // been updated.
    Sub.superOptions = Super.options
    Sub.extendOptions = extendOptions
    Sub.sealedOptions = extend({}, Sub.options)

    // cache constructor
    cachedCtors[SuperId] = Sub
    return Sub
  }
}

初始化Vue，通过vm.options.el)方法将option.template内容转化成AST树

export function initMixin (Vue: Class<Component>) {
  Vue.prototype._init = function (options?: Object) {
    const vm: Component = this
    // a uid
    vm._uid = uid++

    let startTag, endTag
    /* istanbul ignore if */
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && config.performance && mark) {
      startTag = `vue-perf-start:${vm._uid}`
      endTag = `vue-perf-end:${vm._uid}`
      mark(startTag)
    }

    // a flag to avoid this being observed
    vm._isVue = true
    // merge options
    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 {
      vm.$options = mergeOptions(
        resolveConstructorOptions(vm.constructor),
        options || {},
        vm
      )
    }
    /* istanbul ignore else */
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
      initProxy(vm)
    } else {
      vm._renderProxy = vm
    }
    // expose real self
    vm._self = vm
    initLifecycle(vm)
    initEvents(vm)
    initRender(vm)
    callHook(vm, 'beforeCreate')
    initInjections(vm) // resolve injections before data/props
    initState(vm)
    initProvide(vm) // resolve provide after data/props
    callHook(vm, 'created')

    /* istanbul ignore if */
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && config.performance && mark) {
      vm._name = formatComponentName(vm, false)
      mark(endTag)
      measure(`vue ${vm._name} init`, startTag, endTag)
    }

    if (vm.$options.el) {
      vm.$mount(vm.$options.el)
    }
  }
}

通过_render函数，将AST树渲染到页面上，成为真正的DOM树

  Vue.prototype._render = function (): VNode {
    const vm: Component = this
    const { render, _parentVnode } = vm.$options

    if (_parentVnode) {
      vm.$scopedSlots = normalizeScopedSlots(
        _parentVnode.data.scopedSlots,
        vm.$slots,
        vm.$scopedSlots
      )
    }

    // set parent vnode. this allows render functions to have access
    // to the data on the placeholder node.
    vm.$vnode = _parentVnode
    // render self
    let vnode
    try {
      // There's no need to maintain a stack because all render fns are called
      // separately from one another. Nested component's render fns are called
      // when parent component is patched.
      currentRenderingInstance = vm
      vnode = render.call(vm._renderProxy, vm.$createElement)
    } catch (e) {
      handleError(e, vm, `render`)
      // return error render result,
      // or previous vnode to prevent render error causing blank component
      /* istanbul ignore else */
      if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && vm.$options.renderError) {
        try {
          vnode = vm.$options.renderError.call(vm._renderProxy, vm.$createElement, e)
        } catch (e) {
          handleError(e, vm, `renderError`)
          vnode = vm._vnode
        }
      } else {
        vnode = vm._vnode
      }
    } finally {
      currentRenderingInstance = null
    }
    // if the returned array contains only a single node, allow it
    if (Array.isArray(vnode) && vnode.length === 1) {
      vnode = vnode[0]
    }
    // return empty vnode in case the render function errored out
    if (!(vnode instanceof VNode)) {
      if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && Array.isArray(vnode)) {
        warn(
          'Multiple root nodes returned from render function. Render function ' +
          'should return a single root node.',
          vm
        )
      }
      vnode = createEmptyVNode()
    }
    // set parent
    vnode.parent = _parentVnode
    return vnode
  }
