When it comes to modern websites and web applications, fast speeds are essential to provide a great user experience and to avoid high exit rates due to slow loading times.

Is your web interface or one-page application built using Vue.js? Have you recently run a web performance assessment and are concerned about the results? Are you looking for ways to reduce loading times to provide the best possible user experience? Then read on to find out how to optimize and speed up your Vue.js application in six easy steps. 

Web diagnostic tools such as Google Lighthouse, Google Pagespeed Insights, and GTmetrix are vitally important to ensure your web application is working at its optimal capacity so that your users are provided with a smooth and lightning-fast experience. 

Most consumers will wait no more than three seconds for a web page to load before exiting, yet many web applications fail to meet these demands. Working within the web development and search engine optimization sector for well over a decade, I have learned to understand that speed is everything. A stunning design and great content are one thing, but it counts for naught if the user does not wait around to see it. 

This article serves as a guide for business software developers seeking to enhance their Vue.js applications, detailing strategies to significantly boost performance and outpace competitors. By focusing on optimizing event handling and eliminating sluggish components, among other techniques, developers can ensure their applications not only meet but exceed user expectations for speed and efficiency.

Terminology used within this Article

There may be some terminology that you may not be familiar with, so here is a quick glossary to give you a brief insight into some of the terms included in this article.
2024 Research

  • Components – In JavaScript, components act like functions that accept arbitrary inputs, similar to other programming languages. Once a component has received an input it will then return an element that will dictate what appears on screen.
  • Computed Properties – A computed property declares a value that is dependent on other values. Whenever one of these connected values changes, Vue.js then updates the Document Object Model (DOM) accordingly.
  • Data Objects – A data object stores values or a group of values that can be accessed via an identifier or an expression that has been designated to it. An example of a data object would be a data table or an array.
  • Document Object Model (DOM) – The DOM is the programming interface for HTML documents, and each document is organized into nodes and objects in a tree structure. This allows programming languages to interact with and make changes to the structure, style, and content of a web page in an uncomplicated way.
  • Entity Properties – Entity properties contain one or more named properties which can then be assigned more values. Entities of the same type do not need to have the same properties and their values do not need to be the same data type.
  • Event Handling – Event handling is the management of events within JavaScript, deciding what should happen when an event is executed. Events are written in code known as the event handler.
  • JavaScript – JavaScript (JS) is an important programming language that helps to create web pages and applications on the world wide web, with more than 98% of websites using JavaScript for client-side behaviors.
  • Reactive Properties – Reactive properties are defined as accessors of the element prototype. In JavaScript, instance properties overrule a prototype property, therefore, reactive property accessors will not function if a class field is used.
  • Rendering – Rendering is the process of generating code (such as HTML markup) to display web pages on a browser.
  • Vue.js – Vue.js is an open-source, JavaScript framework for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It works using the Model–view–viewmodel architectural pattern. 

A Brief Introduction to Vue.js

Vue.js (commonly referred to as just Vue) is a lightweight, open-source JavaScript framework that is used to build reactive web user interfaces. Working alongside HTML and CSS, Vue provides a dynamic suite of tools that are designed to build the frontend of web applications, using the model-view-viewmodel (MVVM) framework.

Vue’s main library is built around the viewmodel layer and provides reactive synchronization between the model and view layers thanks to its two-way data binding functionality. Thanks to this functionality, web apps can be developed on the single-page application (SPA) model. 

One of the key advantages of Vue is that data binding allows HTML elements that are tied to underlying Vue objects to be updated dynamically. In simple terms, this means that web applications can be created that run in the user’s browser without the need to refresh the page when the page is interacted with. This also includes responses to page events within the JavaScript code. 

Before frameworks like Vue, web applications required ‘workarounds’ and a significant amount of JavaScript code to update page elements without the page needing to be refreshed.


Vue’s approach to incremental integration stands out in the business software development landscape, offering developers the flexibility to selectively utilize framework features for tailored installations. This adaptability allows for the addition or removal of features as project needs evolve, making Vue an exceptionally lightweight and user-friendly choice for creating responsive and efficient web applications.

The Key Benefits of Using Vue.js

Used by world-leading businesses such as Nintendo, Adobe, Netflix, and BMW, Vue.js is used for building front-end user interfaces and websites. Here is a summary of the key reasons why this framework is so popular, helping to build the websites of household names and delivering even the smallest of personal projects.

  1. Lightweight – The Vue.js framework is just 18 kilobytes in size!
  2. Simplicity – Vue.js is very easy to pick up with a basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  3. Comprehensive – Vue.js has all the tools you need for every aspect of a front-end development project, including its browser and end-to-end testing.
  4. Strong Support – Vue.js is backed by an active community, meaning there are tons of online support and helpful guides available. 
  5. High Speed – Vue.js creates a virtual copy of the DOM so that the entire Dom does not need to be updated when changes are made, significantly improving the performance and speed of the application. 
  6. Flexible – Each aspect of an application built in Vue.js is expressed as a component, whether they are written in HTML, CSS, or Javascript, with no need to separate them into different files. Therefore, large sections of code can be written that are easily reusable for different projects. 
  7. Two-Way Binding – Two-way binding connects model data updates and the user interface view, making it much easier to update any related components and track the data in real-time. 

6 Ways to Optimize the Performance of Vue.js Applications

Hopefully, you now have a good understanding of what Vue.js is and its capabilities, so now let’s look at ways to optimize this amazing framework even further. 

If you don’t believe your frontend development skills are strong enough yet to optimize Vue.js applications, remember that you can always hire an experienced developer to help guide you along as well. Hiring a freelance developer would likely be cheaper than going through a third-party agency. You can expect to pay between $40 and $60 per hour for an experienced freelance frontend developer, which is less money than what you can expect to pay going through an agency. 

Whether you are new to Vue.js and are looking to build a project from scratch with the help of an experienced developer, or you are interested in optimizing an existing website or interface on your own – here are six ways to optimize the performance of Vue.js applications. 

  1. Don’t Update Elements Unnecessarily

A common issue that Vue.js developers encounter is elements or a list of elements being rendered unnecessarily, which is often caused by a lack of understanding of the framework’s reactivity system. Reactivity in Vue.js converts plain JavaScript objects into reactive properties, and often these objects can be updated and rendered more times than necessary. 

Vue.js shows which elements are reactive and which ones are not, making life easier for the developer. However, there is likely to be a large number of reactive properties, computed properties, and properties assigned to a data object which can complicate matters. 

Typically, whenever a new element is added to a list of objects, the entire list will be re-rendered. This is usually completely unnecessary, especially when we consider the date object, for example, which is not reactive and does not need to be updated for elements that have not been changed. An optimal method would be for only changed elements to display a new date, while unchanged elements will remain the same. 

Solution

The key property can help solve this issue as it allows Vue to better recognize elements so they can be reordered accordingly instead of cycling through and updating the entire list. In addition to specifying a key property, child components also need to be created, segmenting the application into smaller, more manageable components.  

With this setup, item components will only be updated if the item encounters a reactive change which can improve the performance of an application significantly. Should an item be added or removed from an array, the list will be re-sorted based on the key properties so that only the necessary elements are re-rendered. 

  1. Avoid Duplicate Rendering

Similar to the above, but not altogether the same is avoiding the rendering of full lists or bulky elements multiple times. 

For example, a component may have an entity property in the data object, and each entity is rendered by a child component if you have followed the solution in the previous section. The output of this entity property will probably be assigned a user token. When this user token is refreshed, the entire view will be updated, even if the user.status remains unchanged. This is less than ideal from a performance perspective.

Solution

The easiest way to solve this issue is to pass the user.status value as a user.status prop from the parent node. This way, if the value is unchanged, Vue will choose not to render it again. Dependencies such as props, data values, and computed values can all cause an entire list to be re-rendered. This is why it is important to identify any properties that can cause duplicate re-rendering. 

The best way to do this is by downloading the official Vue.js dev toolkit. Once downloaded, navigate to the ‘performance’ tab, and press start to run a performance check during the app load. Once the check has been completed, go to the ‘Component Render’ tab and check that the number of components that are rendered correlates with the number of events created.

Having more updated events than created events when there has been no change to any values suggests that duplicate rendering is taking place. This can happen for any number of reasons, but as a best practice, you should never change entities more times than necessary.

  1. Remove/ Replace Slow Components

If you are importing third-party components into Vue, or creating components from scratch, their performance levels must match up to the rest of the application. Even a single component that displays slow speeds can impact the entire product and result in a poor user experience. 

Solution 

Once again, the Vue.js dev toolkit can come to the rescue. In the ‘performance’ tab you can see an estimate of the rendering times for every component within the application. This allows you to easily cross-check any newly added components with existing components to see if they are performing at the desired level. 

If the new component is taking a long time to render in comparison to other components, and it is not possible to reduce its usage, then you should consider removing it and replacing it with an alternative option.

  1. Optimized Event Handling

Every event within an application is completely different and needs to be optimized accordingly. Using a one-size-fits-all approach is not practical and can lead to slow page times. 

Two examples of different events are window.scroll and @mouseover which can be actioned numerous times by the user in a single session. If the event handlers used by these events are not optimized, then it may result in them making long-winded calculations that could be run multiple times per second, resulting in lag. 

Solution

The most effective way of optimizing event handling is by using the debounce function, which limits the number of times events are processed. By restricting time-consuming events, unnecessary CPU cycles and API calls are avoided.

  1. Consider using Virtual Scrolling

Many modern websites (such as social media platforms) now support infinite scrolling with no impact on page speeds. However, within Vue, this requires a very large list to be rendered, drastically slowing down the page as the user scrolls further down. 

Solution

To implement endless scrolling in Vue without affecting page speed, you will need to implement virtual scrolling. Virtual scrolling allows the page’s grid component to display thousands of records on a single page and is the recommended alternative to paging.

Vue-virtual-scroll-list is an open-source, virtual scrolling project that is capable of rendering extremely large lists within Vue. It is very easy to use when compared to other, similar projects and does not rely on absolute positions which can ‘break’ the user interface.

  1. Render Page Sections Once

When an element has been mounted, it probably only needs to be rendered once, as it is unlikely to change or require updating. By ensuring these mounted elements are only mounted once, you will save time each time the page is loaded or events take place. 

Solution

If a section in the app contains data that will not change through the entire page session, then you can use the v-once directive to ensure this section is only rendered once. This simple Vue directive avoids any needless rendering of an element, and small hacks like this are why the framework continues to grow in popularity. 

Conclusion

Even developers who are new to Vue.js and are still learning the ropes can make quick and easy changes to optimize their applications. Here is a summary of the key points you should take away from this article. 

  • Vue.js is a framework used for building front-end user interfaces and websites.
  • Most elements within Vue do not need to be rendered if no changes are made. 
  • You should avoid rendering full lists and large elements multiple times.
  • Slow components should always be removed or replaced.
  • Event handling can be easily optimized with the debounce function.
  • Virtual scrolling can deliver endless scrolling functionality as an alternative to paging. 
  • Sections within a page that do not change during a session should be rendered once.

What is Vue? https://flatlogic.com/blog/what-is-vue-guide/ Thu, 07 Apr 2022 10:21:35 +0000 https://flatlogic.com/blog/?p=11070 One of our favorite JS frameworks, known as Vue, won the hearts of thousands developers worldwide. 200k stars on GitHub.

The post What is Vue? appeared first on Flatlogic Blog.

]]>
Vue.js is a progressive open-source MVVM frontend JavaScript framework that is designed to be implemented incrementally since the core library focuses only on the presentation layer. Nevertheless, this framework is used for building UI (user interfaces) and complex single-page applications with modern tools and libraries to support them. It enables you to take advantage of libraries for client-side routing and state management when you need it.

Vue.js was created in 2014 by Evan You and is supported by him and other active core team members. Interesting fact, Vue.js version names are often derived from manga and anime, the majority of them within the science fiction genre.

Vue is also usable for both desktop and mobile application development due to its HTML and JS base extensions working in sync with the Electron framework, which makes it the most preferred frontend tool. Vue.js implements this through an MVC (Model View Controller) architecture to view the user interface of an application or website, using its underlying library by default.

Why use Vue

Vue frameworks provide the following full set of features that make it easy for developers to get to the UI:

  • Transition

Vue.js offers a variety of ways to realize transitions to HTML components when updating or adding something from the DOM.  It also provides the ability to add animated third-party libraries to customize and design a better-cooperative UI.

  • VDOM

Vue works using VDOM (virtual DOM). Changes to the state made during application development will not be reflected directly in the DOM. VDOM is produced instead, which is generally found in JS data structures, allowing the developer to test their design and review changes to the UI design without worrying about cost-effectively undoing them.

  • Libraries and toolkits

Vue includes a considerable toolkit for all the elementary programming needs provided on its main page: 2024 Research

  • Browser development tools are used to fix bugs in applications developed with Vue.
  • Vue CLI (command-line interface), which is used to install and create the main Vue framework libraries and third-party plugins.
  • Vue Router.
  • Vue Loader.

Advantages of Vue

Each framework has its own special features and characteristics that make them known and receive priority over other frameworks. Vue.js holds the record for the highest number of stars on Github.com in the last 5 years. While the Vue.js community is smaller than ReactJS, the record of Vue.js stardom describes and tells the story of its fans. So here’s a list of the best features of Vue.js and the reasons why developers chose it:

  • Performant and size-efficient. Vuejs is a lightweight framework with a package size of just 21KB, which is what sets it aside from its competitors. The virtual DOM also greatly speeds up rendering.
  • User-friendly. Vue has some of the most comprehensive and strongest documentation, with everything from tutorials to step-by-step guides. Vue has a component-based interface: you can find everything you need in a single `.vue’ file. All you need is a basic knowledge of CSS, HTML, and JavaScript to start exploring Vue.js. 
  • Community. Vue has a very supportive and dedicated community. There are a lot of forums and chats where Vue.js is tagged. More than 135,000 Github members are using Vue.js. 
  • Progressive nature. The Vue framework can be implemented into your codebase incrementally instead of redesigning everything in a single swoop. Move from component one to one to get the whole endeavor off to a more controlled one.

Who uses Vue.js

Here is the list of companies that use Vue.js:

How to Create a Vue app using the Flatlogic Platform

There are two ways to build your application on the Flatlogic Platform: you can create a simple and clear front-end application, generated by the CLI framework, or the CRUD application with frontend+backend+database.  

Creating a CRUD application with Flatlogic

Step 1. Choose a Tech Stack

In this step, you’re setting the name of your application and choosing the stack: Frontend, Backend, and Database.

Step 2. Choose the Starter Template

In this step, you’re choosing the design of the web app.

Step 3. Schema Editor

In this part you will need to know which application you want to build, that is, CRM or E-commerce, also in this part you build a database schema i.e. tables and relationships between them.

If you are unfamiliar with database design and find it difficult to understand what tables are, we have prepared a number of ready-made example schemas of real-world apps from which you can build your own.

  • E-commerce app;
  • Time tracking app;
  • Bookstore;
  • Chat (messaging) app;
  • Blog.

Finally, you can deploy your application and in a few minutes, you will get a fully functional CMS for your Vue application.

Step 4. Choose Integration method & Features

Next, you can connect your GitHub and push your application code there. Or skip this step by clicking the Finish and Deploy button and in a few minutes, your application will be generated.

Creating a one-page application with Flatlogic 

You can create a frontend-only app with the Flatlogic Platform. This assumes you are hosting the back-end somewhere else or do not need it at all. To generate a one-page application you don’t need to enter anything in the terminal of your IDE, you just need to go to the page of creating an application on the Flatlogic website and make only 2 steps:

Step 1. Choose a Tech Stack

In this step, you set the name of your application and choose the stack: Frontend as Vue, Backend as No-Backend.

Step 2. Choose the Starter Template

In this step, you choose the design of the web app. Since this is a standard one-page application created using the CLI framework, it will have the design of a standard one-page Vue CLI application.

In the end of app creation, you can deploy it and in a few minutes, you will get a one-page Vue application, which you can further modify as you like. Share the result with other colleagues and friends mentioning @flatlogic on Twitter, Facebook/Instagram and Medium. Check out other guidelines for the web app application process on our blog:

Sing App Vue Laravel Template is Released

Laravel security has a good name

It is no secret that two main groups of vulnerabilities cause a lot of headache for web application developers from all over the world: SQL injection and cross-site scripting. Laravel prevents the very possibility of such attacks by using the concept of ORM (Object-Relational Mapping), which, by default, excludes the possibility of “raw” SQL queries, and all parameters when building a SQL query are reduced to a single form – they are removed from them anything that can harm the data. The second group of threats involves injecting alerts on malicious in JavaScript code into an arbitrary page on a website, as a result of which an attacker can obtain and then forge Cookies data. Such vulnerabilities are mitigated by escaping prohibited html tags (in particular, the script tag) and outputting the escaped string as plain text, making it impossible to execute it.

Performance

Another good reason for Laravel is the high performance of web applications based on it. It is achieved through optimized code and caching tools that increase the speed of web page generation. Laravel provides by default a modern system for registering and authenticating users, which can be done both through native web forms and through social networks using OAuth mechanisms. There is a module that allows an existing user to reset a forgotten password.

Community

The open source code allows any qualified programmer to contribute to the development and modernization of Laravel. This led to the fact that the framework has formed a community of users who not only improve the code of the product itself, but also create a huge number of different add-ons and modules that allow solving a wide variety of tasks in a short time.

DEMO

Vue Material Laravel Template is released!

Why did we choose this particular framework? In order to identify the main advantages and disadvantages of this framework, let’s take a step back. Namely, we will ask ourselves what a framework is and what is needed for its successful use.

A framework is a skeleton for developing applications, that that means the architecture already described. Communication with the framework is carried out through the API. It installs various modules, blocks, packages and other addons. It should also be noted that there are significant differences between the concepts of a framework and a library, which consist in the presence of the described architecture, which was mentioned above.

Vue Material Laravel Template is released!

Due to the fact that the creator of Symfony in the second version made the constituent parts of the framework independent of each other, you can safely disassemble it into pieces and assemble anything from them. These are the details that Laravel was created with. 2024 Research

Now that we have decided what a framework is, the pluses of Laravel should be noted.

Vue Material Laravel Template is released!
  • Detailed and understandable documentation.
  • Mature community of developers and sponsors. You can get an answer to any of your questions, use open-source extensions and plugins in order to make your project even more engaging for users.
  • A large number of training courses and materials. This technology is easy to master even for a beginner + an API syntax is very simple and clear, framework has short and thoughtful names of functions.
  • Flexible routing system allows you to configure subdomain routing, allocate routes into special groups, specify route parameters, and much more.
  • The framework contains an extremely useful and convenient mechanism for handling exceptions and errors.
  • The built-in user authorization mechanism can be reconfigured for yourself.
  • The framework also provides ready-made solutions for caching applications, building queues for sending mail (optionally via a local / cloud service).

Vue.js Bundle Released by Flatlogic https://flatlogic.com/blog/flatlogic-team-has-released-the-vue-js-bundle/ Fri, 05 Mar 2021 19:26:04 +0000 https://flatlogic.com/blog/?p=5394 A collection of all Vue.js admin templates and themes released in one bundle.

The post Vue.js Bundle Released by Flatlogic appeared first on Flatlogic Blog.

]]>
Now we have a collection of Vue.js admin templates and themes. The whole package costs $299. It includes 6 admin templates and more than 700 components. Also, it has admin dashboard templates with material design.

All in all, you can see three main designs in this bundle. Sing App, Light Blue, and Vue Material Template.

You can use these admin dashboards to build an admin area of CRM system, financial dashboards, web app with a product management functionality, and many more.

Why choose Vue.js?

More and more people are switching to Vue, and we doubt this trend will end soon. It is still nowhere near as accepted as React (at least outside of China) and is constantly struggling for second place with Angular.

With the most active growth dynamics, Vue is the third most popular JS framework in the world.

The number of Vue downloads is gradually increasing. Vue has high speed, low barriers to entry, and concise structure as its main advantages. React.js is a powerful and wonderful tool, however, you can hardly find at least two similarly structured projects built with this framework.

More about the structure of Vue projects

2024 Research

Yes, the developer can quite flexibly define the architecture and approaches to writing applications, but is it always good? Vue allows you to avoid confusion when, for example, you sit down on a new project. Pretty much everything in Vue has its custom syntax with a lot of boilerplates.

Choosing new frameworks and libraries is exciting but also stressful. Even after some research, you never know what surprises you will find.

Therefore, the simplicity and conciseness of the Vue toolkit are so catchy, it takes on a lot, giving the most comfortable work, while not sagging in performance.

Vue has the necessary set of tools to build complex applications. The first tool every developer comes across is Vue-cli. This tool, which allows you to quickly deploy a project with a console utility, is a mandatory part of every framework. Quasar Framework, NativeScript, Weex allow you to create a native mobile application. Onsen UI is used for hybrid ones. Such solutions for mobile applications have not yet gained sufficient popularity, but the very fact of their existence already speaks a lot about the competitiveness of this framework. Vue also has an alternative to Redux called Vuex. Well, Vue-router, used to work with application routing, together with CLI and Vuex, allows you to create applications of any complexity. This progressive adaptability makes it possible to completely replace jQuery.

In conclusion. After all, what are the distinctive features of Vue?

  • Minimalism
  • Intuitiveness
  • Flexibility
  • Speed of work
  • An actively developing infrastructure

The post Top 16+ Vue Open Source Projects appeared first on Flatlogic Blog.

]]>
If you thought discovering alien life was exciting, wait until you dive into the universe of Vue.js open-source projects.

Ever find yourself staring into the abyss of web development, pondering questions like What are the most groundbreaking Vue.js projects out there? How can these projects transform my web development process? What makes Vue.js the superhero of modern web frameworks? And when you thought all hope was lost, Albert Einstein waltzes in with, “The only source of knowledge is experience,” reminding us that diving into Vue.js projects is not just educational but essential for innovation, especially in business software.

The digital realm is plagued with the challenge of finding robust, scalable, and efficient tools for web development. This isn’t just a minor inconvenience; it’s a full-blown crisis for developers aiming to build the next generation of web applications. Studies and forums like Stack Overflow and GitHub discussions shed light on this problem, highlighting the need for more accessible, powerful, and versatile development tools.

In this article, we’ll continue to review the best open-source projects using various technologies. Last time we reviewed the best open-source projects on React and Angular; this time we’ll focus on their gaining popularity rival – Vue.

Why you should pay attention to Vue

Vue is an open-source JavaScript framework for building user interfaces. It is worth paying attention to as it is gaining great popularity without the support of giants like Google and Facebook. 

Vue combines the best approaches of React and Angular and has a very cohesive, active, and large community that helps to cope with development problems. The same community is constantly coming up with new approaches to solving routine problems. As the contribution volume grows, the number of tools and libraries available becomes larger, too. Integrating Vue into business software development processes offers a flexible and efficient way to create scalable applications, meeting the ever-changing needs of modern enterprises.

Benefits of using Vue

  • The framework is minimal. The size of this framework is 18–21KB;
  • Vue supports the component-based approach to building web apps;
  • Detailed Documentation. Developers always like to use the framework with detailed documentation because it is always easy for them to write their first application;
  • Easy to understand. The user can easily add Vue.js to his web project because of its simple structure. It has a well-defined architecture for keeping your data. Life-cycle methods and custom methods are separate;
  • Simple integration. You can simply add Vue.js through CDN – there’s no need to set up node and npm to start using Vue.js. You can also use it as a great jQuery replacement;
  • Great tooling. Vue.js has it. Vue CLI allows you to start new projects with things like Routing, State Store, Linting, Unit Testing, CSS Preprocessors, Typescript, PWA, etc – they’re all built-in. Additionally, Vue CLI also provides a UI for managing your projects.
2024 Research

Projects to use Vue in

So, Vue.js is a good choice in case you are interested in creating lightweight and easy-to-fix applications.

The learning curve is quite low, allowing me to master the framework in a short period and move on to the Vue Application Development. We recommend to use Vue in these cases:

  • If you want to build a Single Page Application or Progressive Web App (you can use the brilliant nuxt.js framework);
  • You want your team to learn new technology. Vue is a great choice for this task;
  • Build fast MVP;
  • You want to build a SEO Friendly app;
  • You have a tight budget and want to test the idea quickly.

Popularity of Vue

Speaking about Vue.js popularity, there are over 57,000 questions on StackOverflow within #vue.js and about 15,000 npm packages available for Vue developers. Compared to other frameworks, Vue.js is still in third place but still has a very good community without Facebook and Google support.

Popularity of Vue.js compared to React and Angular

Evaluation criteria for Vue open-source projects

  • Documentation. Any good project should have comprehensive documentation;
  • How well the rules of committing are described. This is essential for open-source projects if they want to grow the number of contributors;
  • How well the work with issues is organized. Work with issues should be well organized so that contributors know which ones to fix first;
  • Does the project have a roadmap? The roadmap helps contributors choose the feature they will develop first;
  • The number of stars on Github. To some extent, this criterion reflects the quality of the project;
  • Maturity. Analyzing the project development and trying to decide what should be used as an instrument to gain the result, you need to be careful choosing the tools that have not yet matured or approved themselves;
  • Bugs or vulnerabilities. There might not be a big knowledge base or community in case you need help.

In our selection, we divided projects according to their functional purpose:

  • CMS and Generators;
  • UI Components;
  • Applications;
  • Toolkits;
  • Developer tools.

Best Vue open-source projects

We have compiled a list of the most notable tools and libraries you should know about, eventually use in your Vue.js projects, and contribute to. Unlike many other articles listing only UI component libraries, we’ve included other libraries and plugins in the Vue ecosystem.

Our selection is based on their usefulness, effectiveness, documentation, ideas, and contribution guides.

A guide how Gridsome work
Image source: https://gridsome.org/

Gridsome has many similarities with VuePress but it takes a different and very powerful approach dealing with data sources. It allows you to connect and use many different kinds of data in your app, which are then unified in one GraphQL layer. Basically, Gridsome uses Vue for front-end functionality and GraphQL for data management. 

The way this works can be summarized in the following three steps:

  • You provide content in Markdown, JSON, YAML, or CVS data formats, or import it from a CMS like WordPress or Drupal;
  • The content is turned into a GraphQL layer, which provides centralized data management; 
  • Then you use that data to build your app with Vue. 

In terms of development, the documentation has a clear roadmap, a well-described changelog, and a contribution guide. It is a good choice to contribute.

UI Components

Vuetify

Website: https://vuetifyjs.com/en/
GitHub page: https://github.com/vuetifyjs/vuetify

Contribution guideline: Yes

Image source: https://vuetifyjs.com/en/

Vuetify offers a large set of crafted components (80+) based on the Material Design specification. Vuetify combines all the advantages of Vue.js and Material. The framework is compatible with RTL and Vue CLI-3. All Vuetify components are very well documented, and clear examples are also there. It works with Vue’s Server-Side Rendering (SSR). Vuetify supports all modern web browsers – even IE11 and Safari 9+ (with polyfills). It also comes with ready-made project scaffolding, so that you can start building your Vue.js app with one single command.

It provides a set of components based on material design, such as: 

  • Buttons;
  • Inputs; 
  • Cards;

  • Lists.

Vuetify has a vibrant community behind it, with over 500 contributors who have created many Vuetify plugins. It has all the major components to be a good open-source: broad documentation, contribution guide, and issue management. But in our opinion, it is hard to contribute to, because the community is already large.

DOCUMENTATION

  • Based on Vuetify
  • No jQuery and Bootstrap
  • Vue Router
  • E-Commerce Section
  • User Management
  • Sass and Vuex inside
  • Node.js & PostgreSQL integrated

Node.js 14.0.0 has been released. This version will live long, until April 2023

Node.js has changed a lot over the past 5 years. Using Node.js effectively, you can write everything from command line utilities to dynamic HTTP servers. In fact, the Node.js platform is suitable for providing information from object databases. This could be MongoDB or MySQL. For our admin template, we chose PostgreSQL.


When Ryan Dahl created Node.js he strived to create real-time, push-powered applications. He took that approach from apps like Gmail. Node.js is an effective tool for working with the non-blocking, event-driven I / O paradigm. In other words, Node.js is perfect for use in real-time applications. It uses push technology over web sockets.

Vue Material Admin Template


Why is Node.js currently playing a key role in many great companies? Why are these companies willing to take risks and directly depend on the unique properties of Node by adding it into the technology stack? The whole technology is based on an open web stack (such as HTML, CSS, and JS), work goes through the standard port 80. You can certainly argue that Flash and Java applets also provide this opportunity. However, the truth is that these are just sandboxes using the Web as the transport protocol to deliver data to the client. Not to mention the fact that they quite act through non-standard ports, which added access rights problems. 2024 Research

It is argued that the popularity of Node.js means it is a platform for all occasions. However, for successful use, you must understand that it serves a strictly defined list of tasks. First of all, this does not apply to operations that intensively load the processor. In other words, the use of node.js technology in heavy calculations actually nullifies absolutely all of its advantages.

The ideal use case is to build fast, scalable networking applications. This way the main advantage of the Node is to handle a huge number of connections with high bandwidth. And this in turn will provide high scalability to the application.

The post Top 7 Awesome Vue Material Admin Dashboard Templates Worth Your Attention appeared first on Flatlogic Blog.

]]>
This article, we have a list of noteworthy Vue Material admin templates, and we will focus on the amazing Vue.js frontend framework. If you have some doubts, and if you still couldn’t decide to try Vue.js in practice, then I hope that after reading, you will decide to do so.

Building applications with VueJS is simple – all you need is a basic knowledge of JavaScript, CSS and HTML. You will have no problems in understanding Vue due to different code examples and a lot of details. Also, developers will provide you any help you need, so Vue will steal the hearts of both the beginners and advanced developers. 

Using a template is one of the most ways to understand new technology. You will customize it and integrate, and while you do, so you will get accustomed to Vue and learn some tricks and life hacks with it. 

How to choose the right framework?

Frameworks were developed to simplify the developer’s life and free everyone from writing the same piece of code over and over again. I bet you have noticed that as the codebase of some frameworks grows a lot, they begin to bring their fair share of complexity almost to every project. Therefore the first and probably one of the most crucial factors of project success. Because of this, we must think of two things when planning development:

  • App complexity.
  • Framework complexity.


“Thanks, Captain Obvious!” you may say. But I can assure you, not every project has this right mix of technologies used.

Vue helps you to shorten your time while writing an app due to its flexibility. You can build with it anything you need – a library or a framework for an entire product. That is why this technology can be used either for complex apps or simple ones.

If your app is more complicated, you can see Vuex for state management and routing. What differs using Vuex from, for instance, Redux or Flux with React – is that the companion libraries of Vuex are officially supported and frequently updated with the core library. Flux and Redux are not tied to React.

So how do we choose the right framework for our project?

In a nutshell, we choose the right level of complexity. First it is an internal complexity (that is, complexity that we cannot get  rid of during development) and the complexity of the tool with which we achieve our goals. It is pretty obvious that we can only manipulate the complexity of the instrument. We can make a conclusion that we have two possible situations: 2024 Research

When there is not enough tool to cover the internal complexity. 
The functions required to implement the application are missing. Naturally we have to manually modify and add the necessary tools.

When we use only a small part of the tools provided.
This is not a crime, but it can be pretty nasty downsides like app load slowdowns.

 I will be a Captain Obvious again, but I think that for each goal  we need to use its own tool.” When planning, we need to find a middle ground so that the 
complexity (and, therefore, functionality) of the application is at the same level.

Why choose Vue.js?

One of the essential features of Vue.js is the updates. There is always the need in fixing all bugs, providing new features and making different improvements to help the project be up to date. VueJS is simple to update and all new releases are made to maintain backwards compatibility. 

What is more, if your app is based on VueJS, you will not need a quick refactoring, so you will have an opportunity to concentrate on future development.

In this list, we will provide you with the best Vue templates.

Awesome Vue Material Admin Templates
