WordPress is a CMS, so it really speeds up development for content-driven websites or webapps.
It powers more than 25% of the known web. Chances are, you may have to work with it in the future.
You may as well know how to use it properly with a frontend framework you love: Vue JS.
A lot of developers hate WordPress. Actually, I was one of them.
But that was before 2 major discoveries: Elementor + WP REST API.
Let met tell you more about that.
But you need to understand something first.
I used WP a lot from 2011 to 2014 (before I started to hate it).
And I've been using Vue since 2014. (Yup, it was version v0.10.6 back then).
Basically, I hated WP like many people because:
- It's slow
- It's wasn't elegant (old PHP)
- An mainly, doing frontend with it was painful...
With the rise of SPAs, WP was out-of-the race.
It didn't have REST APIs at the time, and most plugins relied on jQuery.
jQuery brought so much conflicts between plugins, it was hell!
But all that changed... Specifically in december 2016!
In WordPres 4.7, they aded a native REST API. This is a game changer.
Other incredible frontend stuff are also more used now: JAMStack, PWAs, SSR, Web Components...
Yes, it is now possible to use WordPRess with a modern and sexy stack.
But you need to do it the right way to get the most out of it.
