Nuxt
Digital Natives has been gratefully using Nuxt JS for several years. With Nuxt, we build lightning-fast platforms that are SEO-friendly, contain reusable elements, and are easy to maintain.
What is NUXT JS?
Nuxt is an extension of the popular open-source framework Vue.js. While Vue mainly benefits in creating good user interfaces, Nuxt provides the tooling - or peripheral matters - around it. For example, it is possible to assemble complete pages or platforms on the server side and apply code-splitting so that the end user is assured of a fast loading time.
Why should you choose Nuxt JS in your technology stack?
Nuxt offers a fixed structure for projects, making them easily transferable between team members. This is especially advisable for larger platforms and websites with a view to consistency and maintainability. Additionally, there are many extensions - modules - available for Nuxt, for example, to further improve the SEO of a platform. Nuxt also has many optimizations that ensure the end user can work with a platform in a pleasant and smooth manner.
Nuxt combines excellently with our preference for a headless setup, where there is a strict separation between the CMS - the back-end - and the presentation - the front-end. This means that the choice of a CMS does not dictate which frontend belongs to it.
Because within the setup with Nuxt we are not dependent on the front-end code of WordPress, CraftCMS, Drupal, or Laravel, we are also no longer dependent on the speed of those systems. The role of the CMS is minimized, and the focus is as much as possible on a standalone, streamlined front-end. This makes our platforms incredibly fast. And search engines like Google really appreciate that.
With the help of Nuxt, we can easily build platforms as Progressive Web Apps. PWAs feel much more like fluid apps than websites with different pages. With smooth transitions from one page to another and subtle animations, it feels very pleasant and snappy for the end user.
Because we almost exclusively use Nuxt for our front end, components and modules - combinations of components - are easily reusable. A login module that was previously created can be easily added to a new platform via our toolkit.
Nuxt has an active community of developers who contribute to the framework, fix bugs, and help each other to make the framework as good as possible. New features are also regularly added, allowing the framework to take more work off your hands.
Previously, JavaScript only worked in the web browser, but now it can also be executed by web servers. By converting it to HTML on the server side, we create significant gains in terms of speed and search engine optimization. With static generation, entire websites can even be generated upon changes in the CMS without the end user having to wait for the server to process the code.
