Nuxt 3
Nuxt 3 is a meta-framework built on top of Vue 3 that adds file-based routing, server-side rendering, static generation, and a batteries-included application structure.
Where it fits
Nuxt is useful when a project needs more than a plain SPA, especially for content pages, SEO-sensitive routes, image handling, and application shells that benefit from convention over manual setup.
Repeated project patterns
- UCO Data Portal stack uses Nuxt for a content-rich frontend with routing, image handling, and geospatial views.
- Existing planning notes for soil-monitoring work also point toward Nuxt as the preferred structure for larger dashboard-style frontends.
Trade-offs
- Nuxt provides more structure, but that also means more framework surface area than a plain Vite application.
- Teams need to decide early how much logic belongs in server routes, composables, or external APIs.
