fastify-vite VS Nuxt.js

SolidJS ranked #1 in the 2021 "State of JS Front-End Frameworks", so we wanted to see what the fuzz is about and give it a proper chance with a side project. We started with a simple Single Page Application (SPA) and a few components but wanted to add data with GraphQL. For GraphQL we needed some sort of authentication, to identify users. This quickly turned more complex day by day. The biggest pitfalls and challenges were understanding Reactivity in SolidJS and the use of context providers. Last but not least, we wanted to add some server-side rendering capabilities, which lead to a three week rabbit hole of reading SolidJS code, Fastify Vite and lots of trial and error. Fortunately, Jonas Galvez was already working on Fastify DX a new full stack framework based on Fastify and Vite, where he added support for SolidJS as well. A nice side effect was that we not only have server-side rendering, but also async rendering, streaming web components/html streaming1 available, which is pretty awesome. As most of this is new and a lot of those technologies are barely documented past "Hello World" or "Todo List", we decided to extract the most important/difficult parts of our project into this "Real World Application with SolidJS and Fastify DX".

Thank you! There's a low-level library it builds upon:

According to Node Package Manager (NPM), Next.js has about 3.9 million weekly downloads while Nuxt.js has about 438,000. Although Next.js has a significantly higher number of weekly downloads, Nuxt.js still has a robust number of users. We can conclude that both frameworks are relevant and will stand the test of time.

Nuxt team themselves pointed that out [in first release](https://www.npmjs.com/package/nuxt/v/0.0.1) as well as you can see that statement in [Nuxt's wikipedia article](https://cdn.domin.pro/K2Qa). I completely agree with how Nuxt is better for an amount of features.

Node is basically back-end Javascript. While powerful alone, almost exclusively you will use a back-end framework like Next.js or Gatsby when using React, and then maybe Nuxt or Gridsome in Vue.

Both Vue.js and React have their own set of tools and libraries to help developers build and maintain their applications. Vue.js has Vue CLI and Nuxt.js, while React has Create React App and Next.js.

Nuxt.js is a free and open-source JavaScript framework based on Vue.js that helps you develop modern web applications using SSR (server-side rendering) which provides a faster load, better SEO (search engine optimization), and better caching capabilities.

We made a LiveChat Next.js App template. Using Next.js as a foundation for the project, we have a front-end app with built-in routing, Server Side Rendering (SSR), and Server Side Generation (SSG) built with React, but on top of that, ready-to-use API routes built in the form of Serverless functions. If you prefer Vue.js or Svelte, you can choose similar frameworks, like Nuxt.js and SvelteKit.

Not oc, but maybe give Nuxt a look?

Vue's docs are some of the best I've ever read. Nuxt and Craft are pretty great too. I especially like how Craft's docs are bifurcated into the docs which give you the 20/80 + code snippets, and the class reference, which is complete documentation of every method, type, param, etc of the platform.

Nuxt - the Vue alternative to NextJS - supports both static site generation and SSR.
