Don't start with nuxt.

Start with the Vuejs tutorial on their website. Vuejs docs are amazing and one the big reasons why people enjoy starting Vue.

Nuxt docs are so-so and can be quite confusing.

Agree with this.

I tend not to use "quick starts" especially when using something new since you a) don't learn the internal gubbins b) are more fucked when something breaks.

When I started with WebPack and TypeScript I deliberately started from an empty webpack.config.js and an empty tsconfig.js and added in stuff as I went at the end I had a decent understanding of what everything in both files actually did and they only did what I wanted.

I've never found a quick start that helped me (in terms of total time) since the time spent fixing it when it breaks always exceeds the time taken from just doing it manually the first time, after I understand what I'm doing then I'll consider the quick starts.

Poi is a good webpack wrapper for vue. Is a webpack with zero config
I guess I should have been more specific here, my bad.

Reading the Vue.js docs online is of course the first port of call; the documentation is very good, so much better than Reacts. One of the few occasions I've been able to learn a good majority of the project without resorting to googling for tutorials and other community contributed resources.

I recommended Nuxt as a good "this is how you put a enterprise ready Vue.js project together" so the OP would learn some good habits in project layout early on.

I tried to like VueJs but just couldn't. Seems just like another Angular 1.x like framework. I am done with HTML template API's. So many failed attempts using this concept. Anyone remember Polymer? That's what I thought.
