Meetup notes

• Held on Valencia on 06-02-2020
• The speaker Debbie O'Brien is a developer and Nuxt evangelist, so to speak
• She has a nice boilerplate in GH: https://github.com/debs-obrien/nuxt-boilerplate-project (reviewed by Nuxt experts)
• As well, she has some courses in https://vueschool.io/ (alongside Alex and Sebastien, creators of Vuex). There are some interesing introductory free courses there as well.
• Big performance improvements when using Nuxt+API vs traditional FE+BE mixed apps
• As an example, Louis Vuitton uses Nuxt https://en.louisvuitton.com/eng-nl/homepage?dispatchCountry=NL
• Most performant option: generate static page, but not suitable for all use cases
• As well, using lazy component loading, components can be generated in separate bundles (pages are automatically). Good practice for components that are shown below the fold or on user actions.ç
• --modern will generate also ES6 modules for clients that have support for them
• For unit testing: Jest + Vue Testing Library https://github.com/testing-library/vue-testing-library
• For E2E testing: our friend Cypress
• Code templates with Hygen https://www.hygen.io/
• Nice tool for git hooks: Husky https://github.com/typicode/husky
• Recommends v-lazy-image for loading images: https://github.com/alexjoverm/v-lazy-image
• She was super fan of Tailwind https://tailwindcss.com/
• Mentioned https://hasura.io/ which is kind of firebase but for GraphQL. Looks interesing.
• You can hire Nuxt core team for about 250€ per hour. You have to be really stuck or have some spare money.
