NuxtJS is a framework built on top of Vue that offers additional features and benefits, especially for large-scale and content-driven projects. It provides server-side rendering, which can improve performance and SEO.

In this course, you’ll get briefly introduced to Vue, covering components, views, routing, state management, and others. Then, you’ll get acquainted with NuxtJS and learn about configuration and structure for NuxtJS projects. Further, you’ll learn about different NuxtJS rendering modes and the key factors to consider when choosing a mode for the example survey application project. You’ll work with NuxtJS components, pages, layouts, plugins, and middleware. You’ll then develop a complete server-side rendered Vue.js application using NuxtJS and learn about optimizing server-side rendered applications for SEO and performance.

By the end of the course, you’ll possess the skills to develop, deploy, and optimize a feature-rich, server-side rendered web application utilizing Vue and NuxtJS.

Build a Modern Server-Side Rendered Vue Application with NuxtJS

As we discussed in the previous lesson, choosing the right rendering mode for a Nuxt project will depend on the requirements for the frontend. Specifically, we need to consider whether the application requires SSR, CSR, or a combination of both. We should also consider whether the application will be static or dynamic, and whether we need to prioritize performance or flexibility. By carefully considering these factors, we can choose a rendering mode that will optimize the application's performance and user experience.



Let's take a deep dive into how we can do this for each aspect of the project.

# Components
Every Nuxt application is made up of different components put together to make up an interactive user interface. The survey project is not any different.

## Navigation bar
The navigation bar typically would contain links to the different views on the application for ease of accessibility. The navigation bar would probably be more static than dynamic and would be needed on the prerendered view of the page. Therefore, it would be great to have it prerendered on the server-side.
## Footer
The application’s footer typically would have static content, including information of the application and possibly the application's logo. Like the navigation bar, the footer can also be rendered on the server-side because it doesn't change much.

Learn about the key factors to consider when choosing a rendering mode for the survey application project in NuxtJS.
