Abstract
Storefront UI is an open-source Full Stack Web Development project. A frontend library for React and Vue that helps developers quickly build fast, accessible, and beautiful storefronts. Made with 💚 by Vue Storefront team and contributors. Performance - Poorly written and overcomplicated components are often the performance bottleneck ruining the experience of your users. All standard eCommerce pages that we've built with Storefront UI hit 95-100 on Lighthouse! It is built using TypeScript, Vue.js, JavaScript. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the MIT License, making it a useful reference for students building a Full Stack Web Development mini project or final-year project.
1. Introduction
Performance - Poorly written and overcomplicated components are often the performance bottleneck ruining the experience of your users. All standard eCommerce pages that we've built with Storefront UI hit 95-100 on Lighthouse! (mobile performance measured using PSI)
Accessibility - Web accessibility is more than an ethical requirement in the United States: it’s also legally mandated and you risk fines if the justice department determines your website is non-compliant. At the same time building accessible components takes a lot of time and requires specific domain knowledge. Storefront UI components are WCAG AA compliant out of the box!
Customization - Most of the UI libraries out there fail when components need to be heavily customized. You suddenly find yourself working against your library just to achieve the desired look. Storefront UI is built for complex cases. We ship a set of small and flexible _base components_ like Button, Checkbox or Modal that can be used to build more complex ones. We also deliver more complex examples (aka _Blocks_) like ProductCard or a different checkout steps as copy-pasteable code using Storefront UI components and Tailwind utilities.
2. Objective
A frontend library for React and Vue that helps developers quickly build fast, accessible, and beautiful storefronts. Made with 💚 by Vue Storefront team and contributors.
This project demonstrates how TypeScript, Vue.js, JavaScript can be applied to a real-world Full Stack Web Development problem.
