Nuxt JS is essentially the Laravel of Vue JS (which I get is a framework of a framework of JavaScript). Having spent a couple years mixing PHP and JS, I can easily say that Nuxt is the greatest developer experience by far. Completely intuitive and well thought-out. This presentation b... jimhull.blog

@jhull Oooo, interesting. I need to check that out. I want to get into Vue.js for a few things...

@jhull alright! I have a project in mind where I can test this then. Does Nuxt work nicely with existing projects, where I can just Vue-ify specific sections on the page? (Haven’t read too much about it just yet).

@vincent download and install. create-nuxt-app and decide whether you want Universal/SPA/Static - you can ALWAYS change this later. Took me awhile to understand the difference, but the basic gist is:

Universal: Sever-side rendered (hosted on Heroku) with both Client and Server bundles SPA: Client-side only Static: ALL pages generated ahead of time and served on a static hosting site (think Netlify). JS is then hydrated on top of it, so you get the SEO benefit of SSR along with all the great reactivity of JS

Then all you do is pull over the components from your previous project (if you have existing Vue components) or just start building pages. The pages directory is unique to Nuxt - like PHP with folder structure mimicking URLs. index.vue is the base route, _slug.vue would be the dynamic routes.

If you're coming from a Laravel point of view, it really is just Laravel for Vue. You've got a Middleware folder. You've got the pages directory mimicking Routes. And a bunch of other greatness.

Let me know if you any of that makes sense!

@jhull Thanks so much for the lowdown. Sorry it took me longer to reply... I totally get it now and that all makes sense to me. Going to try something small with it.
