Nuxt is a powerful open-source framework for full-stack web development with Vue. I’ve been using Nuxt for some projects I have been working on and it has been a very pleasant experience so far. I think it may be the best javascript web framework out there. It’s full of features and makes web development very streamlined. It makes working on back-end and front-end extremely convenient making it great for full-stack developers.

Best Nuxt Features

  • Vue and Vue SFC
    • Vue is my favorite front-end web framework by far. I guess it’s up to preference but in my opinion it is the best one.
    • Single file components (SFC) is great for building many different pages of apps. It keeps it simple by having the template, the logic, and the styling all in one file all with the Vue composition API.
  • Auto Imports
    • When using Vue and other javascript frameworks you would traditionally have to manually import all components and code you would like to use where you would like to use it. With Nuxt all components are automatically imported which means less code, less time, and a overall better development experience.
  • Nitro
    • Nitro is Nuxt’s built-in backend server. It’s very powerful and built-in right into the framework making working with back-end and front-end very simple and efficient.
    • It can handle all of the back-end logic of your app as well as serve your front-end app to the client. It can also be run in a serverless environment which are beneficial in many different ways.
  • Modules
    • Nuxt allows you to easily add various different useful modules into you’re app such as TailwindCSS or GraphQL. Nuxt has a large amount of modules you can add to enhance your project.
  • TypeScript
    • Nuxt had full support for TypeScript so you can write type-safe code. Don’t worry Nuxt still has full support for JavaScript if you prefer JavaScript (I do).

My Experience

So far my experience with Nuxt has been great. I have been developing a web app and Nuxt has really made it an enjoyable experience. It’s full of features I actually use and has probably cut my development time in half. Switching from the back-end to the front-end in such a streamline matter is so powerful

Conclusion

I personally think the Nuxt is the best full-stack web development framework. There are so many features that makes the development experience efficient and enjoyable. It abstracts away many of the tedious tasks allowing the developer to focus more on building a great app for the users. If you are or are planning to develop a any kind of web app, I definitely would recommend Nuxt.
