        Our whole Vue.js frontend stack (incl. SSR) consists of the following tools:

        • Nuxt.js consisting of Vue CLI, Vue Router, vuex, Webpack and Sass (Bundler for HTML5, CSS 3), Babel (Transpiler for JavaScript),
        • Vue Styleguidist as our style guide and pool of developed Vue.js components
        • Vuetify as Material Component Framework (for fast app development)
        • TypeScript as programming language
        • Apollo / GraphQL (incl. GraphiQL) for data access layer (https://apollo.vuejs.org/)
        • ESLint, TSLint and Prettier for coding style and code analyzes
        • Jest as testing framework
        • Google Fonts and Font Awesome for typography and icon toolkit
        • NativeScript-Vue for mobile development

        The main reason we have chosen Vue.js over React and AngularJS is related to the following artifacts:

        • Empowered HTML. Vue.js has many similar approaches with Angular. This helps to optimize HTML blocks handling with the use of different components.
        • Detailed documentation. Vue.js has very good documentation which can fasten learning curve for developers.
        • Adaptability. It provides a rapid switching period from other frameworks. It has similarities with Angular and React in terms of design and architecture.
        • Awesome integration. Vue.js can be used for both building single-page applications and more difficult web interfaces of apps. Smaller interactive parts can be easily integrated into the existing infrastructure with no negative effect on the entire system.
        • Large scaling. Vue.js can help to develop pretty large reusable templates.
        • Tiny size. Vue.js weights around 20KB keeping its speed and flexibility. It allows reaching much better performance in comparison to other frameworks.
