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

In this lesson, a simple layout will be used for the pages. It is recommended that learners design and implement more complex layouts to gain a deeper understanding of the concepts.

# The default layout
For the simplicity of the survey project, it's safe to assume that most of the application's pages would have similar layouts. To ensure these similarities, common components can be combined in a default layout, which would be used by the required pages.

Creating the default layout is as simple as adding a `default.vue` file to the `layouts` directory. To use it in a page, simply nest the page contents in the `NuxtLayout` component without passing any props to it.

## Example
The SPA below shows the definition of the `default` layout that includes the application's navigation bar, footer, and the slot where the child pages would be nested.

Notice how the layout is being used in the `survey`, `admin`, and `index` pages.
