Ask HN: Did you (attempt to) switch from Backbone to Vue.js?

Post by valueprop » Tue, Jul 11, 2017, 9:16 PM UTC

Most of the comparisons I've found between Backbone and Vue.js are high-level, without insights from practical long-term usage on both, eg https://www.slant.co/versus/32/11378/~backbone_vs_vue-js

We're happily using Backbone, but considering Vue in order not to be left behind with maintained frameworks/tooling.

What insights could you share from switching (attempts) ?

What do you use instead of models/collections?

Considering productivity on your project, which framework between the two do you prefer, and why?

Thanks!

Hi there! At Snipcart we are currently doing exactly that. We are progressively migrating our Saas from Backbone to Vue.js, and just wrote a blog post that can answer all of your questions: https://snipcart.com/blog/progressive-migration-backbone-vue...

For us, it has been a really positive experience so far and we LOVE working with Vue.js. The transition between the two frameworks has been really smooth so far, and I'm sure it can benefit your project too ;)
