    🖖 Vue.js is a progressive, incrementally-adoptable JavaScript framework for building UI on the web. (by vuejs)

  • Not by its own. As any FE framework at some point it NEEDS to communicate with the server if there is not enough data already rendered, or if you need to take actions. While that topic, have a look on https://vuejs.org/ as well.

  • Twig

    Twig, the flexible, fast, and secure template language for PHP

  • In the past, templates were PHP files as well. Because today we use it more as an OOP language (thankfully), you usually delegate to a package to work the templating part while the PHP file contains only classes and test code. Have a look on https://twig.symfony.com/ and learn how to install and use https://getcomposer.org/
