Framework-agnostic web application

A minimal framework for framework-agnostic web applications. Read the ideas and motivations behind it:

• Nuxt: Decoupling the view and controller in your PHP application

• Creating a Nuxt application with Koa, Express, and Slim

• Creating a R web application with Nuxt and Plumber

• Creating a Nuxt application with Python frameworks

• Creating a Modular Koa Application

• Creating a Modular Slim Application

An extended project: Monsoon - a PHP Content Management System (CMS).

Requirements

1. Slim (PHP), or:

• Koa (NodeJS)
• Express (NodeJS)

• Angular Universal

Quick Setup (an example)

Nuxt Setup

# serve with hot reload at localhost:3000
$ npm run dev
# build for production and launch server
$ npm start
