Freelance Vue.js Developer in Lyon

Why Vue.js

Vue.js is the framework I use daily and have been using for over 4 years. It's not a default choice, it's a deliberate technical decision after working with React, Angular, and other alternatives.

What convinces me: reactivity is native and intuitive. When data changes, the UI updates automatically, no useEffect, no useMemo, no complex hooks. Vue 3's reactive system uses JavaScript Proxies that track dependencies transparently. The result: less code, fewer bugs related to render cycles, and components that do exactly what you expect.

The ecosystem is another decisive argument. Vue Router, Pinia, VueUse, Nuxt: each building block is official, maintained, documented, and designed to work together. Where React requires choosing and assembling dozens of third-party libraries, Vue offers an integrated ecosystem covering 95% of needs.

Vue.js vs React: a pragmatic choice

I respect React. It's an excellent tool, and it's the most used framework in the world. But for the projects I build, business apps, SaaS, MVPs, Vue 3 is the better choice.

Native reactivity vs hooks. In React, state management goes through useState, useEffect, useMemo, useCallback. Powerful but verbose and a source of subtle bugs (missing dependencies, unnecessary re-renders, stale closures). In Vue, reactivity is built in: ref(), computed(), watch() work predictably.

Single File Components. A Vue component groups template, logic, and styles in a single .vue file. More readable than JSX mixing markup and JavaScript, easier to maintain on large projects.

Learning curve. A junior developer is productive in Vue within days. In React, mastering hooks, the reconciler, the render/commit pattern takes weeks.

Bundle size. Vue 3 weighs ~16KB gzipped vs ~42KB for React + ReactDOM. With native tree-shaking, only the features you use are included.

Nuxt.js: Vue's superpower

I never use Vue alone. All my projects go through Nuxt.js, the meta-framework that turns Vue into a full-stack solution: SSR for SEO, file-based routing, auto-imports, built-in API server. It's what takes Vue from a frontend framework to a complete production platform.

My technical approach

Systematic Composition API + TypeScript. No Options API, no plain JavaScript. Strict typing catches bugs before production. Every composable, every store, every utility is typed.

3-level component architecture. Reusable UI components (buttons, cards, modals), feature components (forms, data tables), and page components (layout, assembly). A component exceeding 200 lines is a signal to split it.

Pinia for global state. Typed, modular, testable stores. Each store manages one business domain. Native integration with Vue DevTools and Nuxt SSR.

Performance by default. Lazy loading for routes and heavy components, optimized images via <NuxtImg>, long list virtualization. Every project targets a Lighthouse score above 90.

Built-in SEO. Dynamic meta tags, JSON-LD structured data, automatic sitemap, Open Graph. Technical SEO is in the architecture from the first commit.
