Hey there,
I’m somewhat new to Vue. But I am wondering what backend to use.
As far as I understood GraphQL should do the trick. But when I was taking the Mastery Courses for free this weekend, I came across Nuxt, which is a full stack framework.
What are your opinions or even other ideas?
Nuxt is still a vue framework, it uses Nitro to make it full stack. Personally I wouldn’t choose an all-in-one framework. The vitesse template shows you can compose most of the same functionality with separate packages: https://github.com/antfu/vitesse#features You can then choose a query library that supports graphsql like apollo or tanstack that fit your needs.
Thanks for your reply! Will have a look into it :)
Why wouldn’t you choose a full stack solution?
You can do fullstack, just pick and choose the layers in the stack yourself. That way you’re in control everywhere, and you can pick the best for your usecase.
I built a company on this stack and highly regretted it FWIW. This was five years ago and I wish we’d had gone Next/React. It obviously depends on what you want to do, but it’s a dated stack.
Required more work from a less talented available pool of contributors to achieve an outcome.
There were other factors, like we also had Mongo and Kubernetes in there which were unnecessarily premature migrations, but nonetheless, I will never use Nuxt/Vue again.
There are even nicer cutting edge options like Svelte, you should look at.
5 years ago it was Vue2 right?
I saw some examples and I wouldnt go with that. Vue3 is much better as far as I can say
(Sorry I know this is a Vue sub, but wanted to share my reality of it).
