Next A – A Batteries Included Framework for Building Web Applications with Vue.js
In the world of web development, Vue.js has gained significant popularity for building front-end user interfaces with JavaScript. However, a true full-stack web application requires more than just handling the front end. It needs to deal with routing, data fetching, caching, deployment, and more. This is where Nuxt comes in.
Universal Rendering with Nuxt
Nuxt works by strapping its Nitro server engine to Vue, enabling multiple rendering modes from a single application. By default, it does Universal rendering where the initial page view is rendered on the server, then JavaScript takes over to handle all subsequent navigation client-side. However, developers can set different rendering and caching rules for every route, making it incredibly flexible. Additionally, it is capable of running on edge networks like Cloudflare.
Developer Tools and Ecosystem
Nuxt’s built-in developer tools are incredible and may trigger jealousy if you use a different framework. Beyond that, it has a huge ecosystem of modules that can handle requirements like image optimization, content management, database integrations, e-commerce, and countless others.
Getting Started with Nuxt
To get started with Nuxt, you can generate a new project with the CLI. The main entry point in the app.vue file is configured with TypeScript out of the box for added safety. You can write Vue components in the Pages directory, and the file system structure determines the routes and URLs in the browser. Reusable components and composables have their own dedicated directories, allowing for automatic import in your pages without the need for a massive list of import statements.
Data Fetching and State Management
Nuxt provides built-in composables like useFetch and useState for efficient data fetching and state management between client and server renders. It also offers composables for search engine optimization and page transitions, making it easy to add metadata for search bots and animate page transitions effortlessly.
Deployment with Nuxt
When it comes time to deploy your Nuxt application, you have the flexibility to pre-render for a static host, build it for a Node.js server, or deploy it to a serverless edge function. This flexibility makes deployment a seamless process.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Nuxt provides a comprehensive and flexible framework for building any type of web application with Vue.js. Its built-in features, developer tools, and ecosystem of modules make it a powerful choice for developers looking to streamline their development process. With Nuxt, the possibilities for web application development are endless.
brilliant! its amazing how you can squeeze so much in a 2m video you are one of the best tech youtubers 💯
Fireship thought he could slip in a Nuxt up and we woudnt notice 😆 1:26
Please don't stop the 100s videos they are very, very valuable to me.
never nuxt uo againi
wow this video is the video used to explain what nuxt is on the official nuxt site
More. All the things. Seriously. Do this. I'll watch.
These Nuxt
You did not just say Nuxt up 😂
"nuxt up" lol
Yes continue making them
Nuxt sounds amazing
I am a great fan of yours. I love all your contents. Super classy and perfectly confined.
Btw. the Video is now mentioned on the Nuxt landingpaage!!!
Vue and Nuxt reignited my passion for front-end development after years suffering with React and NextJS. Life can be good when you don't need to deal with React 🙂
Did you just highlight the like button with coloured borders exactly when you said 'hit the like button'?!
nextjs 13 to 14 sucks both in dev and prod. sveltekit and astro not auto importing and server often crushes. solidstart and qwikcity are new and buggy.
remix' routing is hell. there are no near perfect or at least good framework! i haven't tried Nuxt yet and I'll expect the same thing. man its been 4 weeks and I still can't find the right framework that suits me.
how did you make the "like button effect" at 2:44 ? 😍
after using react for a year, seeing what nuxt can do blows my mind
NUXT feels like Sveltekit
Its now an official Nuxt3 Video. Kudos to Jeff for making this awesome video and Nuxt team for acknowledging it.

"Nuxt up" 😀
yes please continue making these type of videos
thanks a lot…love it
Why the hell have I not found nuxt earlier.
I am ha huge fan of vue ….I like everything about vue….but the fact that it doesn't run on older browsers but react does ….i guess it's for the proxy based implementation where many older browser doesn't support proxy
We need more companies that use Vue and Nuxt so there are more jobs that utilize them and less of those "oh, so you know Vue. That means you're okay with working with React projects, right?" kind of misleading job posts.
The topic is already very complicated (JS frameworks), and the author talking super fast made me throw in the towel…
nothing is done "easily" with frameworks. stop fucking lying.
Um… this was 169-seconds
"nuxt up" lmao
Yes you should absolutely do more of this. Have some algorithmic good vibes from my comment.
We will LOVE the FUll Course on Nuxt 3!!!
Yes keep making videos like this
Keep up the good work. More 100 seconds videos will be great!
This feels like Nextjs 🥲
please never stop these 100 seconds! they my bible and guidance sensei! haha <3 much appreciations for all the contents
After this video I appreciate elegance of SvelteKit even more 😅
0:43 "…it has a rich ecosystem of modules…."
Hold up, you are telling me that there are modules on top of a framework on top of a framework? How do web developers not go insane?
I tried nuxt today, my jaw dropped
I’m gonna NUxT
