Overview
The project begun in 2016 and has seen significant evolution over the past six years. With the rise of TypeScript (TS) in popularity and extensive practice in server-side rendering (SSR), I recently took half a day to create a complete Vue SSR demo using Genesis. This experience highlighted the streamlined development process and showcased the features that make building with this stack effective and enjoyable.
The realization of combining Vue with SSR capabilities has opened new avenues for efficient web application development. This demo not only represented a practical project but also illustrated essential methodologies for working with SSR in a Vue environment.
Features
- Vue and TypeScript Integration: Leveraging Vue with TS provides strong typing, enhancing code quality and maintainability.
- SSR Capabilities: Demonstrates effective server-side rendering, allowing for improved SEO and faster initial load times.
- Vue Router and Vuex: Seamlessly integrates routing and state management for building complex applications.
- axios Requests: Contains a TS encapsulated axios class that handles server request headers, streamlining API calls.
- SEO Management with vue-meta: Utilizes vue-meta to manage page metadata, crucial for SEO optimization.
- All File Type Checks: Upgraded to Genesis 2.0, this version ensures support for full file type checks and generates type files for better validation.
- Docker Packaging: Includes Docker scripts for easy local development and deployment, making it convenient to build and run the application in containerized environments.
- Comprehensive Demo: The demo serves as a practical showcase of essential knowledge points for developing with Vue SSR and highlights best practices for data fetching and state hydration.
