I'm more a back end developer myself, but have really enjoyed Vue. My recommendation would be to try a few basic intros to Vue, but try to avoid the ones that want to get you set up with a whole bunch of command-line tools to compile/pack/whatnot the project. (Those can feel quite daunting to start with, and are actually not necessary if the size of your project doesn't require it.)
Just include Vue from CDN as a script tag.
And if you want a jump-start with ready-made components and good styling, I can also recommend Buefy - https://buefy.org/documentation https://buefy.org/documentation - like Vue, it can also be included with a simple script tag, without any command line tools.
- type0 6y agoI like Bulma and Vue, thanks for mentioning Buefy, had no idea it existed.
- k1m 6y agoI think they're a great combo. Had always been scared off from modern front-end work because it seemed to involve a whole bunch of intricate dependencies and build tools. So it's been eye-opening to see just how much you can build with Vue and Bulma (with Buefy making components very easy to use). And I've not yet needed to touch npm/yarn/webpack or any of that stuff for my small projects.
- james_s_tayler 6y agoBuefy is my favorite. Most productive I've ever felt on frontend. But it is a little limited compared to most other component libraries, so YMMV but I really love it.
- k1m 6y agoWould be interested to know what you find its limits to be, and what you'd recommend as something more flexible than Buefy.
