defineOptions ​

Options API can be declared using the defineOptions in <script setup>, specifically to be able to set name, props, emits, and render inside of one function.

For Vue >= 3.3, this feature will be turned off by default.

if you need defineOptions feature only, the standalone version is more appropriate for you.
