Vue.js Development

Vue.js is the framework teams pick when they want React's component model without React's constant churn of conventions. Vue 3 with the Composition API and <script setup> is a compact, well-documented, remarkably stable framework, and its reactivity system is the cleanest mental model in mainstream frontend. Most "Vue.js development" work divides into three: a Vue SPA behind a login, a server-rendered Nuxt application that must rank, and Vue components embedded into an existing server-rendered app — often a Laravel one via Inertia.

Vue 3, the Composition API and why we do not miss Options

We build in the Composition API with <script setup>, because it makes logic reuse a matter of extracting a composable rather than tangling mixins, and it types cleanly. The reactivity system — ref, reactive, computed and watch — is genuinely intuitive once the ref-versus-reactive boundary is clear, and it is the part of Vue that makes state feel like something you describe rather than something you wire. We write Vue in TypeScript throughout, because a typed component and a typed store catch the errors that otherwise reach a user as a broken screen.

Pinia for state, without the Vuex ceremony

Pinia is the state library Vue actually wants: typed, modular, devtools-friendly, and free of the boilerplate that made large Vuex stores a chore. As with any framework, the discipline that matters is keeping server state — data fetched from an API — separate from genuine client state. We pair Pinia for client state with a query layer such as TanStack Query for Vue, or Nuxt's own data fetching, for server state, so caching and invalidation are handled once rather than reinvented in every component. A single Pinia store holding both fetched data and UI state is the tangle we most often unpick.

Nuxt when it must render on the server

A client-rendered Vue SPA has the same limitation as any SPA: a blank page until the bundle loads, and nothing for a crawler to read. When the application is public and needs SEO, we build it in Nuxt, which gives server rendering, file-based routing, a data-fetching layer and static generation without assembling them by hand. For a logged-in dashboard where ranking is irrelevant, a plain Vue SPA on Vite is lighter and entirely appropriate. Choosing Nuxt for an internal tool, or a bare SPA for a public site, are the two mistakes we settle in the first week.

Vue inside a server-rendered app

A great deal of practical Vue never becomes a SPA at all: it lives as islands of interactivity inside a server-rendered application. With Laravel and Inertia, Vue renders the pages while the server owns routing, auth and data, so you get a modern reactive frontend without building and versioning a separate API tier. It is an underrated architecture for a team that wants Vue\'s ergonomics on the frontend and a conventional backend behind it, and we build it often.
