I am always looking for the fastest way to build a complete app. Brought me to Rails. Then to Meteor/React (which was mixed). Then some Rails/React which is ok.

Vue looks really appealing on the simplicity and completeness side.

I would like to know from people using Vue what backends you're using. In order to complete the loop - the simplest stack overall Vue+???.

I've used Vue w/ Rails so far and it's been pretty good. The one real complaint is that I really wish is that I could use Vue components (.vue files) in a better integrated way with the Rails asset pipeline.

react-rails does this really well, making JSX transformation a drop-in gem, vs. having to set up some kind of front end task runner of sorts and constantly having to commit compiled files and such.

Beyond that, Vue has been amazing, and I really love it.

Thanks for the reply. Yea the rails asset pipeline integration seems an issue and Vue hot reload capability is also something I'd want workings seamlessly (not sure if that would be problematuc). Perhaps best to just use rails as API server. Then be able to create complete Vue front without struggling w integrations.

I'm thinking to rewrite my templates in vuejs then put a nodejs+vuejs SSR layer in front of my non-nodejs backend. I'm wondering how Laravel expects me to handle this situation.
