nuxt

What is nuxt?

Nuxt is a powerful framework built on top of Vue.js that simplifies the development of universal or single-page Vue applications. It provides a robust structure for building scalable and maintainable applications, with features like server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), and a powerful module ecosystem.

What are nuxt's main functionalities?

Server-Side Rendering (SSR)

Nuxt allows you to enable server-side rendering with a simple configuration. This improves SEO and initial load performance by rendering the HTML on the server.

export default {
  ssr: true,
  // other configurations
}

Static Site Generation (SSG)

Nuxt can generate a static version of your site, which can be deployed to any static hosting service. This is useful for blogs, documentation, and other content-heavy sites.

export default {
  target: 'static',
  // other configurations
}

File-based Routing

Nuxt uses a file-based routing system, where the directory structure of the `pages` folder defines the routes of the application. This simplifies the process of adding new routes.

/* Create a file named `pages/index.vue` */
<template>
  <div>Home Page</div>
</template>

Vuex Store Integration

Nuxt integrates seamlessly with Vuex, providing a centralized state management solution for your application. You can define your state, mutations, actions, and getters in the `store` directory.

/* Create a file named `store/index.js` */
export const state = () => ({
  counter: 0
})

export const mutations = {
  increment(state) {
    state.counter++
  }
}

Modules and Plugins

Nuxt has a rich ecosystem of modules and plugins that can extend the functionality of your application. Modules like `@nuxtjs/axios` and `@nuxtjs/pwa` can be easily integrated.

export default {
  modules: [
    '@nuxtjs/axios',
    '@nuxtjs/pwa'
  ],
  plugins: [
    '~/plugins/my-plugin.js'
  ]
}
