Vue3 Boilerplate
VueJS 3 Boilerplate ( Vanilla / Nuxt 3 )
Overview
The VueJS Template 3 is a starter template for developing applications with Vue 3 using Vite. It provides a recommended IDE setup, TypeScript support for .vue imports, and includes several built-in features and libraries such as Pinia, Vee-Validate, Vue-i18n, Vue-Router, Eslint, Prettier, Vitest, Husky, and GitHub Actions. The template aims to streamline the project setup process and provides a roadmap for adding key features such as internationalization, routing, form validation, unit testing, and more.
Features
- Recommended IDE Setup: The template suggests using VSCode with the Volar extension instead of Vetur for better TypeScript support.
- Type Support for .vue Imports in TS: TypeScript doesn't natively handle type information for .vue imports, so the template uses vue-tsc instead of tsc for type checking and requires TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar) for proper .vue type awareness.
- Customize Configuration: The template allows customization of Vite configurations according to project requirements.
- Global Components: Global components can be declared in the components.d.ts file and requires a restart of the Vue server for changes to take effect.
- Built with TypeScript: The template is built using TypeScript, providing enhanced type checking and code readability.
- Pinia: The template includes Pinia, a Vue state management library, for managing application state.
- Vee-Validate + Yup: Form validation is supported through the integration of Vee-Validate and Yup.
- Vue-i18n: Internationalization support is provided through the integration of Vue-i18n.
- Vue-Router: Routing capabilities are included through the integration of Vue-Router.
- Eslint + Prettier: Eslint and Prettier are pre-configured in the template to ensure code quality and consistency.
- Vitest: The template includes Vitest, a Vue testing library, for unit testing.
- Husky: Husky is included for pre-commit and pre-push git hooks to enforce code quality checks before committing or pushing code.
- GitHub Actions: GitHub Actions workflows are set up for running tests on pull requests, ensuring code quality and preventing breaking changes.
Summary
The VueJS Template 3 provides a comprehensive starting point for developing Vue 3 applications using Vite. It includes recommended IDE setups, TypeScript support for .vue imports, and pre-configured features such as Pinia, Vee-Validate, Vue-i18n, Vue-Router, Eslint, Prettier, Vitest, Husky, and GitHub Actions. The template aims to streamline project setup and provides a roadmap for adding key features and testing workflows.
- Nuxt
nuxt.js is a lightweight and flexible JavaScript framework that allows developers to easily build dynamic and reactive user interfaces. Its intuitive syntax, modular architecture, and focus on performance make it a popular choice for modern web development.
- Vite
Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects
- Vue
Vue.js is a lightweight and flexible JavaScript framework that allows developers to easily build dynamic and reactive user interfaces. Its intuitive syntax, modular architecture, and focus on performance make it a popular choice for modern web development.
- SCSS
SCSS is a preprocessor scripting language that extends the capabilities of CSS by adding features such as variables, nesting, and mixins. It allows developers to write more efficient and maintainable CSS code, and helps to streamline the development process by reducing repetition and increasing reusability.
- Tailwind
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides pre-defined classes for building responsive and customizable user interfaces.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Pinia
Pinia is the official state management library for Vue.js. It provides a simple and intuitive API with full TypeScript support, devtools integration, and modular design. Pinia replaces Vuex as the recommended state management solution for Vue 3.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
- Yup
Yup is a schema builder for runtime value parsing and validation. It provides a declarative way to define validation schemas with support for complex nested objects, array validation, and custom validation rules. Often used with Formik for form validation.
