Daniel Roe: Building for the Edge with Nuxt 3 (live coding) – vuejs.de Conf 2022

foreign it is a real pleasure to be here thank you so much for having me um I would like to talk about building for the edge with next um and I'll tell you a little bit more about why building for the edge uh in a moment But first you probably don't need any emojis um my name is Daniel as Alex said I I

I'm on the next team so I spend a lot of my time building cool features and fixing less cool bugs and my background is an agency and a SAS before I was a core maintainer for next and so very much everything that we're building it it has to be something that that for me is exciting and I would value using myself that's the perspective I'm coming at it from I'm aware that lots of people have different perspectives when they approach uh open source and and of

course solving fun uh fun puzzles is is a good motivation too this is my working environment so if you're ever if we're chatting on Discord or there's a GitHub issue I'm probably sitting here with a mug of coffee and some code in front of me and one of my cats I have got three and a dog so that is the idyllic life that I have come from in the northeast of England to this hip and happening City I do not

live in a hip and happening City so if you don't know what next is which I realize from the show of hands may be a small number of people and next is a progressive framework so it's a way to build web applications that allows you to start with almost no extra knowledge required you can just get going you code in in

View and a lot of best practices baked in built in for you so things like your build configuration your SSR configuration how to optimize performance that kind of thing so it's all built into next and this has always been true uh since the beginning of nux and certainly if using nuts 2 you'll recognize this is the case um next has always also always been about um multiple different targets which is what sometimes makes uh brings unique

challenges to uh development because you're building not just for the browser but also for a server which is going to render the HTML and and serve it up to your uh your browser and then that has to be hydrated and matched up with a client bundle so nux has always had node Legacy and modern bundles and the reason I mention that is because we're coming into a world where it's not

just a browser and a server that we're talking about another thing that makes next unique is its ecosystem so there is a vibrant modules ecosystem and there are people here today who maintain modules in the next ecosystem and I will say that without that ecosystem next would not be anything like what it is it means that if you want to get started with an app and you have a CMS you want to integrate or you have a you want to run some validation or you want to implement some kind of authentication or something like that there's a module for it

um so go to modules.noxious.org and you can see some of the many different ones that you can implement lots of things are changing in the modern internet in the modern web framework web platform and that's not true just from the point of view of the browser but also in from the point of view of the technology that serves up content to the browser
