Sounds like a very useful feature, that you can have different config files for each layer. Although I have to think about a little bit when in real life I would use that - e.g. one layer uses Pinia, one Vuex? Or one Bootstrap, but another Tailwind? 😊 But in general I like the idea 🙂👍
Layers is more about grouping your app into logical units like "users", "settings", "sales", "blog", "auth" etc. So you can work on your "settings" feature and find all files related to settings in that layer. This is especially useful in larger apps with bigger teams where one team or developer might work on settings feature, another developer can work on users etc. without conflicts. It also gives the app nice, clean structure.
@@QueeeeenZ Yes, I understand the layers concept and agree with you, but my comment was meant more on "each layer can have its own config" - I was wondering how often in real life I would need a different config file for each layer :) But I don't insist that there aren't use cases for that, especially for large apps :)
Oh, I see what you mean. I have created large scale apps with layers and I have never needed to specify a different config for each layer. The only difference between layer configs was to specify where to find imports, components etc. because it's a different directory for each layer.
Nuxt also has an upcoming multi-app feature which is for micro frontends. But layers is simply a way to group your monorepo app into logical features and it's completely optional.
just pointless meanderings in the javascript land. they keep changing things for no reason. instead they should selectively ignore things not being changed such as node modules... i dont know why javascript devs lap it up...
