Question 1

How to replace the mock server with a real backend in this template?

Accepted Answer

Modify the VUE_APP_API_BASE environment variable in .env files to point to your backend URL, as shown in the README's fake API server section. The HTTP layer uses Ky, but you can adapt it for other libraries.

Question 2

Can I use this with Nuxt.js instead of plain Vue 3?

Accepted Answer

No, this template is built specifically for Vue 3 with Vite and doesn't support Nuxt.js. For SSR or static sites, you'd need a different starter like Nuxt or modify it extensively.

Question 3

How to customize the UI with Naive UI components?

Accepted Answer

The project integrates Naive UI 2.x; refer to its documentation for theming and component overrides. You can modify styles in the source code or use Naive UI's configuration options.

Question 4

Dashboard or shadcn/ui for Vue admin dashboards?

Accepted Answer

Dashboard is a full Vue 3 starter with authentication and tooling, while shadcn/ui is a collection of unstyled React components. Choose Dashboard for a pre-built Vue setup, but for React or more design flexibility, consider alternatives.

Question 5

What's the performance impact of the engineering tools like Husky?

Accepted Answer

Husky and lint-staged add git hook overhead, which can slow down commits but enforce code quality. For very fast-paced teams, this might be intrusive, but it's configurable if needed.

Question 6

Is this template good for learning Vue 3 best practices?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it demonstrates real-world patterns like authentication and TypeScript usage, but note the TODOs for composition API, so it might not cover the latest Vue 3 techniques fully.
