First: sorry for my english, I am not native — Feel free to correct me if I made any grammatical mistake :-)

Each project is the opportunity to search (again) for the perfect stack

When I built EmailBatch a web app enabling to create infinite email addresses and to bundle emails together into one email — the first question that I had in mind was: “hmm, which frameworks will I choose this time?”.

I discovered Quasar Framework almost randomly, and it was unexpected. After a reading of the manual, I had immediately a good feeling about it: an impressive list of components, a few lines to describe the deployment. Good sign. In addition, it is using VueJS, which was perfect for me as I feel more comfortable with this language than React.

The main difficulty of Quasar: the start!

Objectively I must admit that it was a pain to start with Quasar. Just for one reason: the authentication. I wanted to implement JWT to protect the backend API, and it was not so easy. I selected a few articles but I modified some stuff as it turns that none of them — at least in July…
