Vue.js Starter

Do you need the superior UX of a progressive app? Vue Starter is an SPA template for server-rendered PWAs. It includes Vuex and Vue Router configured to work with server-side rendering (SSR) out of the box.

This project has put a lot of thought into ensuring your deployed project has amazing UX right from the beginning, like internationalization for multiple language support and a Lighthouse score of 90+ thanks to SSR and caching with service worker.

Additionally, document head tag management with vue-meta is used for SEO, while SSR ensures that your page will be indexed by search engines that support JavaScript content.

Configuration

Default configuration is stored in /src/app/config/default.json, which can get overridden by providing valid JSON in the environment variable CONFIG on application startup or by an environment specific file.
