Weeknotes 2022/10 - New Vue Defaults, FastAPI Starter Template

Vue 3 utility and tooling ecosystem has evolved a lot from the Vue 2 world. I’ve been keeping my Vite + Vue starter template as up to date as possible since I’m using it myself almost weekly to start new repos and I want it to have everything a typical project uses pre-configured and ready to go.

Vuex has been one of the Vue 3 ecosystem victims as it has never had a proper TypeScript support and keeping things even remotely backwards compatible was just a too big ask. Pinia has been around for a while, and now that it’s officially supported default option for Vue 3 state management, I switched to it in my starter template.

FastAPI Starter Template

My Slipmat.io-project has been growing small independent micro APIs and related mini sites which so far have been running on random ad-hoc code and a Vercel or Netlify frontend. I wanted to make launching new projects faster and maintaining old ones easier so I started a new project template using FastAPI backend and a Vue frontend based on the starter Vite template.

I’ve yet to learn cookiecutter properly to make anything with it myself but this migth be a chance to learn that as well. I didn’t open up the new repo yet but I plan to as soon as it’s in a more generic and better documented shape.

I’ve been actively using #Vue 3 for over a year already, and just noticed that I’ve started to convert almost every project to composition API w/ script setup sugar.

It definitely makes the code messier but there’s less boilerplate, more reuse, and overall more freedom. Love it!

I like working with #Vue 3 composition API w/ script setup syntax but I miss the simplicity of Vue 2. The old API forced you to keep components orderly. Almost all of my Vue 3 components are an absolute mess of imports, ad-hoc variables, and functions. #ConstraintsAreLiberating Apr 15, 2021 13:31

I’ve wanted something like this forever.

JavaScript-only front works great as long as you can host it as fully static. But as soon as you need to render something in the backend, you’re fucked. I might try this w/ #Django and #Vue, for both mixed and Vue-only templates. https://t.co/MU7jySuihD

I’ve been slowly building a new @GoHugoIO powered blog for short TILs and #weeknotes, and now it’s finally ready enough to link publicly.

So, my latest weeknotes: new NPM packages, updating tweets to static blog w/ @GitLab CI, etc.

Have a dilemma w/ #Vue frontend that needs SSR content from Django backend for SEO purposes but can’t do it w/ node as it’s slow as hell. Experimenting w/ a #Django app that dynamically re-generates index pages from a single vue-cli template. Most hacky thing I’ve built in ages! Dec 12, 2020 13:13
