Quasar vs. Vuetify vs. Bootstrap Vue: Choosing the Right Vue.js UI Library
Insight to determine the best UI library for your Vue.js project
Over the past few years, Vue.js has stepped up firmly, becoming a strong contender to compete with Angular and React. If we look at Vue’s growth, it relates to the framework’s simplicity, and availability of libraries, components, and learning materials to strengthen the ecosystem. Besides, Vue also comes with a good set of UI component libraries to choose from.
This article will focus on 3 excellent UI components libraries built for Vue, which stand out from the rest.
1. Quasar
First on our list is Quasar, which is an open-source UI library/framework developed for Vue. It allows you to quickly develop responsive single-page applications, progressive web apps, and server-side rendered apps. Apart from that, you can use Quasar in mobile and desktop applications.
Quasar emphasizes a single code base for all web, mobile, and desktop solutions while providing powerful CLI and UI components.
Quasar is also known as a framework that follows coding best practices. In fact, Quasar comes with some inbuilt best practices by default, and you do not need to do any extra configurations for that. Some of those best practices are as follows:
- HTML/CSS/JS minification.
- Cache busting.
- Tree shaking.
- Source-mapping.
- Code-splitting with lazy loading.
- Linting code.
If we look into the stats about Quasar, it has more than 16000 stars and 350+ contributors. These stats seem to be growing rapidly in recent times, and companies like Jounce, Qrstore, Whiteboard-it, Biting Bit, and Decision6 have started their journey with Quasar.
Pros
- Web components with high performance and responsiveness.
