This is a starter template to jump start universal Vue.js projects with Nuxt.js and TypeScript. Common dependencies have already been saved and configured in the package.json file. All you need to do is run a few commands to install the dependencies and start the development server. You can use Yarn or NPM to install and run your local node server; it is recommended to use Yarn whenever possible.

This stack was named after the iconic Varia suit that Samus Aran wears throughout the Metroid series. This template provides a variety of front-end technologies that help with development and code quality. Much the Varia suit, technologies like Vue.js, Vuex, and TypeScript help reduce the amount of damage (errors) taken and increase the developer's speed and performance.

$ vue init daveberning/nuxt-starter-varia <project-name>
$ cd <project-name>
$ yarn
$ yarn serve

$ yarn build
# or
$ npm run build

$ yarn lint
# or
$ npm run lint

With the Varia template, the "Varia" stack is already in use and configured out-of-the-box. This project is built with Webpack and compiled with Babel.

• Vue.js
• Vuex (State Management)
• Vue Router (Routing)
• Typescript (class-based)
• SCSS (SASS)

Components are always PascalCase and should have a short, descriptive, yet generic name. Example: Modal.vue.

If the component is a single, stand alone component, then the component can be placed in the root components directory. If the container component has two or more components, then a folder should be created and follow the convention below:

|__components/
   |__Header/
      |__Header.vue (container)
      |__HeaderMain.vue
      |__HeaderSub.vue
      |__HeaderLogo.vue

When importing a component into another component or view, always use absolute paths with the @ alias. When in doubt, always follow the Vue.js style guide.

<script lang="ts">
  import { Vue, Component } from 'vue-property-decorator'
  import ComponentName from '@/components/ComponentName.vue' // with alias

  @Component({
    components: {
      ComponentName,
    },
  })
  export default class SomeComponent extends Vue {
    // Props, Methods, Computed Properties, Lifecycle Methods, etc
  }
</script>

Note: The nuxt-starter-varia project uses the class-based syntax that Vue.js is moving towards in Vue.js version 3.x.

When working with Vuex, it is recommended to break up your store into namespaced modules. More information on that can be found on the documentation website.
