Nuxt.js is a client-side framework built on the Vue.js platform. It allows you to easily and efficiently build interactive web applications. The name "Nuxt" is derived from the abbreviation of "NUXt.js".
The main goal of Nuxt.js is to provide an optimal approach for developing complex web applications. Nuxt.js focuses on optimizing performance, SEO (search engine optimization), and convenience for building multi-page or single-page applications with features such as:
Universal (Server-Side Rendering - SSR)
One of the standout features of Nuxt.js is its automatic SSR capability. SSR speeds up webpage loading by dynamically generating and returning HTML on the server, rather than relying solely on JavaScript code running in the browser.
Automatic Routing
Nuxt.js automatically generates routes based on the project's directory structure. This minimizes manual route configuration and makes it easy to track the page structure.
Application State Management
Nuxt.js comes with built-in Vuex, a state management library for Vue.js applications. This helps you easily manage global states in your application.
Data Pre-fetching
Nuxt.js provides the ability to prefetch data before a page is displayed, improving the user experience.
Integrated SEO Optimization Configuration
Nuxt.js allows you to customize meta tags, title tags, and other information to optimize pages for search engines (SEO).
Middleware
Middleware in Nuxt.js enables you to handle tasks before a page loads, such as authentication, logging, access control checks, etc.
Flexible Project Configuration
Nuxt.js allows you to customize configuration in various ways, from installing plugins to tweaking Webpack settings.
Nuxt.js is commonly used in Vue.js projects when building dynamic, SEO-friendly, and high-performance applications.
