Ionic Vue is still in its infancy. It’s still alpha. And it’s not getting that much love. It was a third party addition and was later added to Ionic. So, it wasn’t even developed by the core Ionic team. And, Ionic/Vue is still only the new Ionic Stencil bit in Ionic 4 (i.e. the abstraction of the components from the Angular core) bound to Vue. It’s not really a Vue.js based framework, where the components are also built from Vue.

That alone should be enough to tell you, Quasar is a better choice.

But, there is more.

The Quasar CLI takes care of building your different applications. With Ionic. You must use Vue, so you are talking the same disadvantages (or advantages) as if you were using Vue CLI and Quasar as a Vue CLI Plugin. See here please: https://quasar-framework.org/guide/

Quasar’s Vue based components are built for speed and developer efficiency, and not only for SPAs, but for all manner of applications possible with Quasar. With Ionic, you aren’t getting this TLC for developer efficiency. Quasar has been built for over 2 years now and only on Vue. Ionic can’t come even close to this.

With Vue 3.0 coming around the corner with even more efficiencies, you’ll gain those efficiencies right off the bat with Quasar. With Ionic, this isn’t a given at all.

Quasar has more components for you to work with. And again, they are Vue based. That means consuming them as a developer will just make better sense.

Quasar’s team are Vue aficionados. That means, you’ll get more direct help, if something goes wrong. And, I’d say the Quasar community is larger now, than the Ionic/ Vue community is. So, if you get stuck, and you are more likely to get stuck with Vue/Ionic, because the Vue binding code for Ionic is still alpha, you more than likely won’t get the help you will get with the Quasar community.

Are you sold yet?

I believe that if we could get apollo working with Quasar, in what ever way necessary (and naturally as professionally as possible) we could also “spread the word” within GraphQL circles (which is growing in leaps and bounds) about Quasar and possibly get some traction with that community.

@Nicholas said in The 0.14 beta release is available!:

0.14 Beta looks fantastic! Awesome job!
Do you have any idea of a possible release date for the final version of 0.14, or a timeframe?

Razvan will be taking a well earned vacation in the next few days. He’ll be off for up to about 10 days. When he comes back 0.14 will be finalized. So, 0.14 final will be determined towards the end of July.

We feel the beta is pretty stable currently and there are no plans to make any more major changes. So, there should be no worries on anyone’s part to run with 0.14 now and to build beautiful apps with it.

And let’s be honest. A select with 30k items isn’t really something that should be happening. If you need to select something from within such a large set of data like that, it should be a type of lookup field, which should be it’s own component and not a select/ picklist.

As of Quasar version 0.13.2, you can now use a Vue config setting to turn off the (annoying) production tip you see in the console, when working with Quasar in dev mode. You know, this one:

You are running Vue in development mode.
Make sure to turn on production mode when deploying for production.
See more tips at https://vuejs.org/guide/deployment.html

To get rid of it, all you need is:

Vue.config.productionTip = false

Happy programming!

We have a PR for a feathers API wrapper. https://github.com/quasarframework/quasar-wrapper-feathersjs-api

And the maker of that did a tutorial too. https://github.com/claustres/quasar-templates/tree/feathers-api

Do let us know, how the rest goes (haha, pun not intended). I’d be very interested in how you get Quasar running with Nuxt.

BTW, I am working on a GraphQL API for Quasar. The start is also made with a simple wrapper. https://github.com/quasarframework/quasar-wrapper-graphql-api

And a demo app is also in the works, similar to the Feathers demo. All of this is WIP, so take it with a grain of salt.

Good news! Version 0.14 will have more icons.

The docs are still rough, but it should give you an idea of what is coming.

https://github.com/quasarframework/quasar-framework.org/blob/dev/source/components/icons.md

Scott

I’ve been working on the docs and I can attest to the fact that 0.14 is practically like a new Quasar. There are so many improvements. And to think Quasar was already a great piece of work. This release is going to be awesome.

@potatoheadgear - A component is a component. It doesn’t matter if it is located in the root, /layouts, /pages or the /components folders. Wherever you place the .vue file within the /src folder (or in sub-folders), you can import it anywhere else in your application. That’s because, since it is a .vue file, Vue knows what to do with it in its compilation process.

So, having said that, the only reason there are /pages, /layouts and /components folders is for organizational purposes. Everything in those folders is Vue SFCs. They naturally also have different purposes, despite them all being .vue components, and the folders depict those purposes. Nothing more, nothing less.

Hey Jeff.

I believe the main cost is an OSX native device (i.e. MacBook or MacMini), which Razvan would need to build the app and upload it to the app store for approval.

If you are really interested in Quasar and have the money to spare, you can donate to Patreon for recurring donations or to Paypal for one time donations.

This is the final logo. FYI.

Typescript is the way go for serious js work.

Why?

This is currently the only admin “app” built on Quasar I know of.

I’ll tell you what. Once I get spinner and the new observable sections out of the way, I’ll jump on layout to get it documented for you. Ok?

Scott

It isn’t my call to make, but I currently can’t see why 0.14 won’t be released today. The reason for the delay was the unfinished Play App, and as I mentioned above, it seems 99.9% finished to me. So, I think the release is on for today. Or worst case, Razvan doesn’t wake up from what must be like a comma to him. He’s been putting in some really wicked hours to get 0.14 ready. He worked until almost 6 a.m. this morning.

I am excited for the release too.

Out of curiosity, what else is it that tachyons has, that is missing for you in Quasar?

You mentioned these

tachyons has the small/medium/large breakpoints
tachyons has some colors that are similar but do not match up to the palette in Quasar.

Which Quasar has or offers ways to get around itself.

Breakpoints: http://beta.quasar-framework.org/components/flex-css.html#Responsive-Design

https://github.com/alibaba/weex/releases/tag/v0.10.0

Native apps with Vue 2.0 made possible now with Weex, Alibaba’s new development platform for iOS and Android, which is based on Vue. It is a great milestone for Vue. I would guess it will be only a matter of time to be able to use Quasar to build native apps? Maybe?

Scott

To me, this is another great example of a devland OSS or even paid for component. Quasar should be a basis for such additions, not have them built into it.

Scott

Correction. It’s simple. Just add disable: true in the object for that particular option.

Although I agree with NOT needing jQuery to build a Bootstrap like theme. It would be super excellent, if the theming feature of Quasar was more abstracted out of the source code. By that I mean, one could come up with a similar look to bootstrap with Quasar “base” components. In other words, the Quasar components should be broken down so far, that other devs can create their own themed components with them.

Currently what Quasar has isn’t theming. It’s styling. The title of that section of the docs has always bothered me.

For instance, currently QBtn has the ripple directive built in. This is a step too far in terms of theming. QBtn should be “theme free”. There shouldn’t be any decision making code for any theme in any “base” component! So, let’s call the base button QBtn and have QBtn-md or something to that effect. With this kind of direction/ thinking/ concept, another dev could take up QBtn and make a QBtn-bs for Bootstrap. Or QBtn-ios for an iOS theme, or Billy Bob could come up with some new theme standard and call it QBtn-bb, etc. etc.

Oh, and the ability to include components into the package system should be extended to any component “theme built”, not just Q’s components. So, if devland wants to package either iOS and MD or even BB as part of their Quasar usage, they can.

I’m just rambling with no idea if this is feasible. But, it certainly would be super cool, if it were possible. For sure, currently, Quasar is much too opinionated for it to be theme-able. It is an iOS or Material Design themed component framework, with a styling option. It is not an open component framework with packaged MD and iOS themes, with components which are “theme-able” from other devs. Quasar would be THE most awesome framework, if it were.
