Hi! I want to make a mobile app, but I am not sure if it is better to use Vue.js + Apache Cordova or Vue Native. I am a starter. I do not know anything about Vue nor React. Can someone recommend which one is better, please? Thank you :)
Working with vue in cordova is very problematic. Using capacitorjs will be the best idea. Most Cordova plugins work on capacitor but capacitor plugins dont work on Cordova.
On the other hand, vue native is a wrapper of react native and it might not support all react native plugins so using react native instead of vue native will be a better decision.
Performance wise vue native/react native will be slightly faster than Cordova/capacitor. The difference is not noticeable in most cases.
You could certainly do it with any of these choices, but if mobile support is a certainty, you didn't ask about my #1 and #2 recommendations: Quasar, or Ionic. I'm working on something myself (several projects, at the office and at home) with Vue + Vuetify (for UI) + Electron (for desktop versions), but to add mobile to that is a bit awkward. I could do it in Cordova which was my original plan, or Ionic (my backup plan), but I went with Vuetify at the start because it was just so rich with UI elements. Since then, however, Quasar seems to have added lots of additional UI components, eliminating the reason I didn't choose it at the start. But the killer feature, even beyond the rich component set available, is the ability to add mobile with one command.
There are many other features that make it a hands-down winner for me but it's sooo powerful and complete now that I'm actually porting one of my projects from using Vuetify to fully using Quasar completely. Quasar also provides much simpler support for Electron-based desktop apps too, if that is desired. And the documentation is fantastic. Other than responsive design, the most complicated part of building for mobile is the initial setup. If that includes Android support (and it should), then just getting the build environment going is quite a chore regardless of your choice of framework and stacks. However, the simplest and best documentation seems to be the Quasar setup for mobile, and it has a command-line doctor tool to check your setup and diagnose any problems it finds. It also supports building mobile apps with either Capacitor or Cordova. See https://quasar.dev/ but also in the Quasar docs, Quasar CLI section on the left, there are sections for Developing Capacitor Apps, and Developing Cordova Apps. See https://quasar.dev/quasar-cli/developing-mobile-apps and the sections that follow. I think Quasar is the best of both worlds, and if you use the Quasar CLI for everything, it takes care of the complications.
