Scaffolding an app with Vue 3, Nuxt, and TypeScript
Blog post from LogRocket
Nuxt is a high-level framework built on top of Vue.js, offering features like dynamic server-side rendering, optimized build tool configurations, and an abstraction layer for complex Vue concepts such as routing and state management. It is versatile, supporting single-page apps, dynamic SSR, and static site generation, while also optimizing for SEO with features like file-system routing and smart prefetching. Nuxt enhances Vue components with layout components and provides a comprehensive TypeScript support through packages like @nuxt/typescript-build and @nuxt/types, enabling developers to catch errors during development and improve software quality. The Nuxt Composition API combines Vue's Composition API with Nuxt-specific features, allowing for easier access to router and store within the setup() hook, and providing tools for automatic SSR stringification. The article concludes by highlighting the benefits of using Nuxt, TypeScript, and the Composition API for building scalable applications, and offers a practical example of creating a job board application with these technologies.
