A framework is a JavaScript tool that makes it easier for developers to create
rich,interactive websites. Frameworks contain functionality that enable us to
make a fully functional web application: manipulating complicated data and
displaying it on the page, handling routing client-side instead of having to rely
on a server,and sometimes even allowing us to create a full website that needs to
hit the server only once for the initial download. Vue.js is the latest popular
JavaScript framework and is rapidly increasing in popularity. Evan You, then
working at Google, wrote and released the first version of Vue.js in early 2014.
At the time of writing, it has over 75,000 stars on GitHub, making it the eighth
most starred repository on GitHub, and that number is growing rapidly. Vue has
hundreds of collaborators and is downloaded from npm about 40,000 times
every day. It contains features that are useful when developing websites and
applications: a powerful templating syntax to write to the DOM and listen to
events,reactivity so that you don’t need to update the template after your data
changes, and functionality that makes it easier for you to manipulate your data.
