How to Build a Website with a CMS and Vue.js
IntermediateQuick Answer
TL;DR
To build a website with a CMS and Vue.js, select a headless CMS, define your content model, scaffold a Vue app with Vite (SPA) or Nuxt.js (SSR/SSG), install the CMS JavaScript SDK, fetch content in `onMounted` hooks or Nuxt server routes, and render with Vue components. Nuxt.js adds SSR and static generation for SEO-critical sites.
Key Takeaways
- Vite + Vue is ideal for SPAs; Nuxt.js is the go-to for SSR/SSG with a headless CMS
- Fetch CMS content in Nuxt's `useAsyncData` or `useFetch` composables for server-side rendering
- GROQ or GraphQL queries can be written directly in Vue composables or Nuxt server routes
