Summary

This chapter started with an overview of Vue.js and why Vue.js can be used to develop enterprise-ready applications. We discussed the latest release of Vue.js and how it improves the performance aspect of the framework by introducing a tree-shaking feature right out of the box. We then introduced the Composition API, a Vue 3 feature that improves the readability, maintainability, and scalability of Vue 3 for building and deploying enterprise applications. We also looked at creating our first Vue 3 application using Vite and the fundamental reasons for using Vite instead of the other available options.

Finally, we introduced the Strapi CMS, the backend stack and a headless CMS for building and modeling backend applications and APIs. With Strapi, we will only focus on building and scaling our enterprise frontend Pinterest-clone application using Vue 3 while the Strapi CMS handles the backend.

In the next chapter, we will dive deeper into using Vuex, Vue Router, and Axios to build an enterprise-ready app. You will learn how to properly utilize these libraries to develop large-scale applications with maintainability and scalability, and by the end of the chapter, you will have learned how to set up your backend with Strapi and connect it to Vue 3.
