composition-api VS Quasar Framework

Composition API (now built-in): Composition API is a built-in feature of Vue 3 and is currently available to Vue 2 through the officially maintained @vue/composition-api plugin. In Vue 3, it's mainly used together with the syntax in single-report additives. Here is a basic instance of a issue using Composition API:

√ What would you like to build? » App with Quasar CLI, let's go! √ Project folder: ... quasar-qrcode-scanner √ Pick Quasar version: » Quasar v1 (Vue 2) √ Pick script type: » Typescript √ Package name: ... quasar-qrcode-scanner √ Project product name: (must start with letter if building mobile apps) ... Quasar QR Code Scanner √ Project description: ... A Quasar Project √ Author: ... √ Pick a Vue component style: » Composition API (recommended) (https://github.com/vuejs/composition-api) √ Pick your CSS preprocessor: » Sass with SCSS syntax √ Pick a Quasar components & directives import strategy: (can be changed later) » * Auto-import in-use Quasar components & directives - also treeshakes Quasar; minimum bundle size √ Check the features needed for your project: » ESLint √ Pick an ESLint preset: » Prettier

I'd just found out about this back port of the Composition API to Vue 2 (https://github.com/vuejs/composition-api). What's your experience with that? Is it stable enough to use in a production project with +1000 users? Or is more experimental?

While Vue 3 has had a paradigma change by switching to the Composition API as the primary API, you still can use the "old" Options API which stays mostly unchanged to Vue 2. And vice-versa Vue 2 actually supports most of the Composition API when you include an additional plugin: https://github.com/vuejs/composition-api

Is it even worth it to use https://github.com/vuejs/composition-api or should i migrate to vue 3. I'm only using vue 2 so i can use the vuetify calendar component.

Npm package: @vue/composition-api

If you can’t migrate to Vue 3 today, then you can still use the Composition API already. You can do this by installing the official Composition API Vue 2 Plugin.

I see that the @vue/composition-api also admits to having some performance overhead when used with Vue 2. And it appears to have quite a list of its own gotchas, judging from the README.

For what it's worth most of Vue 3's features can be backported to Vue 2 apps by including the @vue/composition-api package. I agree with the other comment, the v2 docs will get you very far.

What does this bring that the Quasar framework doesn’t already? This sure looks like an ad for a barely preconfigured quasar template—but it’s impossible to tell.

I'm for Vue/Nuxt. While reading React code is fine, I found it easy to shoot myself in the foot (causing circular effects or getting no reactivity) in a way Vue didn't. Vue feels more explicit. I like React's TSX for embedding HTML, but Vue's splitting of model and view appeals to me. I'm torn on that one.

Vue's ecosystem isn't as big, but it's an established framework. Both React and Vue feel easier to work with than Angular. RxJS is really cool, but also very comprehensive, making it difficult to keep the entire API in mind. At least for me, who only use it casually (used to use it more while at Google.) And on top of that, I have to know the Angular API. Angular used to be great for Material Design, but I nowadays there are MD packages for all systems.

Nuxt is for Vue what Next is for React: SSR and SSG. It adds auto-imports, which is nice. At this point, I see no reason to use Vue alone, since there's always something that can be pre-rendered. Perhaps the frontpage, or help pages. Since Vue itself provides entrypoints for SSR, Nuxt is more of a file-structure based router that just simplifies things. The documentation is a bit sparse on e.g. the difference between a plugin and a module, and I usually resort to navigating their source to understand things. That might not be everyone's cup of tea.

If what you're writing is a web app, there is also Quasar, built on top of Vue. Similar to Nuxt in that it ties in directory structure, build system and MVC framework. It is also a Material Design UI widget library. Their selling point is that you can build mobile apps, and web apps with the same library. I.e. like React Native. I felt it strays too far away from the core simplicity of Vue, unlike Nuxt, but it's no doubt a very capable framework.

Finally, I'm currently using PrimeVue as the UI widget/theming library on top of Vue. It's okay. :\ Switched to it when the Vue Bootstrap project decided to to support Vue 3 (or whatever the situation was.) I haven't come across anything that's actively broken or missing. The companion library PrimeFlex provides layout CSS. Annoyingly, they've decided to close GitHub FRs, and some (far from all) bugs, and just keep track of them internally. Makes it more dificult to communicate, but I don't know their reasoning behind it (they didn't respond when I asked.)

3. Quasar Quasar is a versatile UI framework that allows you to build responsive websites, mobile apps, and desktop applications using a single codebase. It offers a wide range of components and utilities. Explore the Quasar website for more information.

My project is a quasar project that’s served on port 8080. However, I keep getting the following error in the log:

Quasar: It does not consider itself a library, but more of a framework. That, in my eyes is a bit confusing as it is based on Vue, but the idea is that you can use it to create websites and apps, meaning it uses a CLI to generate different outputs for web, mobile, desktop, SPA (Single Page Apps), SSR (Server Side Rendering), and more.

What did you download? Anything to do with this? https://quasar.dev/

I am an amateur developer and I use exclusively Vue and Quasar (https://quasar.dev/) as my framework. This is a big hammer and any frontend dev looks like a nail to me.
