Slate Vue Starter

Overview

If you're looking to streamline your Shopify development experience, this Vue starter template for Slate is a solid choice. Building upon Shopify's starter template and drawing inspiration from @dan-gamble's configurations, this project offers a neat foundation for those who want to incorporate Vue.js into their Shopify themes efficiently. While it serves as an entry point rather than a complete solution, it enables developers to harness Vue's power for logic and animations without diving deep into Single Page Applications.
