Hi I am revisiting dfinity after a few months. It didn’t seem quite ready then but appears to be more usable now. In looking on forum and dev site I don’t see any current content on using a vue front-end. If anybody can point me to or construct a brief guide or let me know if its in the works that …

I tried basically making the hello tutorial then ran vue create . in main hello directory. The dragged all the normal vue stuff into the hello_assets like that is the normal vue app parent. I still have standard index.html and index.js in there but dont think should be used. I changed frontend entry…

This may actually be touched on in here https://forum.dfinity.org/t/vuejs-boilerplate/1923 @anon74414410 but not 100% sure or if its up to date with latest stuff

Oh yeah I was using vite a bunch when it first came out and felt cleaner and simpler to me. I’ve never really understood what webpack and bundler this and that all do tbh still have no clue outside of the code I need to write. But I thought my boss at work made a comment like vite is just for fast d…

Your boss is wrong haha! Webpack and other bundlers are used to reduce the size of the final page. they minify and do other stuff to achieve this. Vite also does this when you use the npm run build command, but it uses rollup (another similar tool) which can result in smaller sizes than webpack. Wh…

Haha back to vite it is then. But I seriously may be persuaded to switch to svelte even though I love vue and feel like I’m an expert working with it and can do anything with it lol which is fun and a great feeling. It was a tell tail sign that svelte is made by beauties when the svelte-kit starter …
