Why NUXTJS
Modular
Nuxt is based on a powerful modular architecture. You can choose from more than 50 modules to make your development faster and easier. You don't have to reinvent the wheel to get PWA benefits, add Google Analytics to your page or generate a sitemap.
Performant
With Nuxt.js, your application will be optimized out of the box.
We do our best to build performant applications by utilizing Vue.js and Node.js best practices.
To squeeze every unnecessary bit out of your app Nuxt includes a bundle analyzer and lots of opportunities to fine-tune your app.
Enjoyable
Our main focus is the Developer Experience. We love Nuxt.js and continuously improve the framework so you love it too! 💚
Expect appealing solutions, descriptive error messages, powerful defaults and detailed documentation. If questions or problems come up, our helpful community will help you out.
NUXTJS rendering
Server Side Rendered
The most popular mode for Nuxt. With SSR, also called "universal" or "isomorphic" mode, a Node.js server
will be used to deliver HTML based on your Vue components to the client instead of the pure javascript.
Using SSR will lead to a large SEO boost, better UX and more opportunities (compared to a traditional Vue SPA).
Because implementing SSR on your own can be really tedious, Nuxt.js gives you full support out of the box
and will take care of common pitfalls.
Statically Generated
Static Site Generation is a very hot topic right now (aka JAMStack). Instead of switching to another framework and
spending time to get used to it, why not kill two birds with one stone?
(only proverbial 🐦🐦)
Nuxt.js supports generating a static website based on your Vue application. It is the "best of both worlds"
as you don't need a server but still have SEO benefits because Nuxt will pre-render all pages and include
the necessary HTML. Also, you can deploy the resulting page easily to Netlify or GitHub pages.
Single Page Application (SPA)
Don't need SSR or Static Site Generation but still want to profit from the benefits that Nuxt provides?
Are you slowly transitioning your app and want to start lightweight? Then the traditional SPA mode will
likely be your choice.
The outcome will be a typical Vue SPA as you know it but influenced by your Nuxt configuration and the
framework itself.
Sponsors
NuxtJS is an MIT licensed open source project and completely free to use.
However, the amount of effort needed to maintain and develop new features for the project is not sustainable without proper financial backing.
If you run a business and are using Nuxt in a revenue-generating product, it makes business sense to sponsor Nuxt development: it ensures the project that your product relies on stays healthy and actively maintained. It can also help your exposure in the Vue/Nuxt community and makes it easier to attract Vue/Nuxt developers.
If you are an individual user and have enjoyed the productivity of using Nuxt, consider donating as a sign of appreciation.
