Tell about your experience with Vue and Nuxt — is it purely front-end development?

Vue is a progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces, primarily focused on front-end development. Nuxt.js is a framework on top of Vue that adds server-side rendering (SSR) capabilities, static site generation, and simplifies routing and state management.

Although Vue and Nuxt are mainly used for the front end, Nuxt allows some logic to be executed on the server (e.g., server-side page rendering, preloading data), bringing it closer to full-stack development. Projects with Nuxt often implement API integrations and server middleware.

Example of using Nuxt for SSR:

export default {
  async asyncData({ params }) {
    const data = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/items/${params.id}`).then(res => res.json())
    return { item: data }
  }
}

Thus, Vue is purely front-end, while Nuxt extends capabilities, including server-side rendering and simplifying the development of universal applications.
