Overview
Bleeding edge vue template focused on code quality and developer happiness.
Use Cases
Best For
- Scaffolding new Vue.js applications with production-ready configurations
- Teams prioritizing code quality and maintainability from project inception
- Projects requiring full TypeScript integration for Vue components and state management
- Applications needing integrated testing with Jest and TestCafe
- Developers seeking Docker support for consistent development and deployment environments
- Teams using GitLab CI for automated testing and deployment pipelines
Not Ideal For
- Projects using CI/CD platforms other than GitLab CI, such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins
- Teams preferring lightweight, unopinionated starters without built-in Docker or advanced tooling
- Applications that do not require server-side rendering or are built with a different framework than Nuxt

Pros & Cons
Pros
Includes TypeScript for Vue SFC, Vuex, and tests, ensuring type safety across the entire application as highlighted in the README.
Provides dependency injection, IoC, and runtime type validation for writing robust business logic, reducing errors and improving maintainability.
Comes with GitLab CI set up for full test and deploy workflows, saving significant setup time and ensuring consistent deployments.
Uses Dependabot to automatically keep dependencies up-to-date, enhancing security and compatibility without manual intervention.
Offers full VSCode support with suggested settings and plugins, along with detailed documentation for easy onboarding and productivity.
Cons
Requires cloning the repository and using vue-cli, which is more involved than simpler starters or npm init commands, adding initial friction.
The template is tightly integrated with GitLab CI, making it less flexible for teams using other CI/CD platforms and potentially requiring reconfiguration.
Enforces specific tools and practices, such as advanced DI and linting rules, which may not align with all teams' preferences and could add overhead for customization.
