What is Nuxt?
Nuxt’s goal is to make Web development intuitive and efficient with a great development experience in mind.
Why use Nuxt?
To understand what Nuxt is, we need to understand what it takes to create a modern application:
A JavaScript framework with responsive and Web component capabilities, we chose vue.js.
One supports module hot replacement in development and packaging your code in production. We support both Webpack 5 and Vite.
A translator for writing the latest JavaScript syntax while supporting older browsers, we used EsBuild for this.
A server that can serve your application during development while supporting server-side rendering or API routing, Nuxt uses H3 for diverse deployment such as Serverless, workers, Node.js and unparalleled performance
A routing library that handles client navigation, we chose vue-Router.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, think about setting all of this up for your project and making it work, and then maintaining it over time. We have been doing this since October 2016, tweaking all configurations to provide the best optimization and performance for all Vue applications.
Nuxt takes care of all this, so you can focus on what’s important: how to create your Web application.
On these configurations, Nuxt provides a directory structure to follow, focusing on specific features and letting you focus on creation rather than configuration.
How does it work?
Nuxt consists of different core libraries:
Core engine: NuxT3
Packers: @nuxt/ Viet-Builder and @nuxt/ webPack-Builder
Command line interface: Nuxi
Server engine: @nuxt/nitro
Development kit: @nuxt/ Kit
Nuxt 2 Bridge: @nuxt/ Bridge
We recommend reading each concept for a full understanding of Nuxt functionality and the scope of each package.
Are you Nuxt?
Nuxt is the backbone of your vue.js project, providing the structure to confidently build your project while maintaining flexibility.
Extensible with a powerful module ecosystem and hook engine that makes it easy to connect your REST or GraphQL endpoints, most popular CMS systems, CSS frameworks, and more. By adding just one module, your Nuxt project can get PWA and AMP support
