Nuxt.js

Hello All,

I would like some advice on what you would suggest for a website showing products & services. Max, about 100 products. No eCommerce features are required at the moment. I will also add a search feature and a couple of forms.

I already use Storyblok CMS for the content side of things. One thing that worries me about choosing the build is I ideally don't want the public API key visible, just to prevent any future abuse. I understand if I use the build module in Nuxt.js for storybook, the API key is visible in $nuxt in the console.

I want to build a documentation tool - functionally equivalent to MkDocs. The initial choice ought to be VuePress - but I know of at least one respectable developer who started with VuePress and switched to Nuxt.js. A rich set of "themes" is a plus and all documents ought to be in Markdown.

Any opinions?

For our internal team and collaboration panel we use Nuxt.js (with TypeScript that is transpiled into ES6), Webpack and npm. We enjoy the opinionated nature of Nuxt.js over vanilla Vue.js, as we would end up using all of the components Nuxt.js incorporates anyways and we can adhere to the conventions setup by the Nuxt.js project, which allows us to get better support in case we run into any dead ends. Webpack allows us to create reproducable builds and also debug our application with hot reloads, which greately increased the pace at which we are able to perform and test changes. We also incorporated a lot of testing (ESLint, Chai, Jasmine, Nightwatchjs) into our pipelines and can trigger those jobs through GitLab CI. All packages are fetched through npm, so that we can keep our git repositories slim and are notified of new updates aswell as reported security flaws.

I'm planning to make a web app with browser games that would be a Progressive Web App. I decided to use Vue.js as the front framework and Firebase to store basic information about users. Then I found out about Nuxt.js and I figured it could be really handy for making the project as PWA.

The thing is, that I don't know if I will need Server Side Rendering for this, I couldn't find a lot of information but from what I know, the web app doesn't need SSR to be PWA. I am not sure how this would work with JavaScript browser games made with frameworks like Phaser or melon.js. Also, I host my website on GoDaddy and I've heard that it's quite hard to set up SSR with cPanel.

So my questions are:

Should I use SSR for Progressive Web Application built with Nuxt, filled with javascript browser games that are lazily loaded, or does that not make sense? If it makes sense, would SSR work with godaddy hosting and cPanel?

Any help would be appreciated!

This PWA App [ https://nuxt-buefy.appseed.us ] generated by Nuxt.js in ExpressJS and Buefy in less than 2 minutes, has two main assets: speed ( more than 90% Lighthouse SEO score) and a cutting edge UI framework based on Flexbox / Bulma. The only problem that we've faced it was the lack of UI Themes but we are working on a tool to convert automatically Flat Bootstrap Themes to Buefy themes. At this moment, this tool supports translations for Blade and Jinja2.
