Technology Stack

Pokedex Vue 3 is built with a modern frontend stack: 
{
  "dependencies": {
    "axios": "^1.7.9",
    "pinia": "^2.3.1",
    "vue": "^3.5.13",
    "vue-router": "^4.5.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@vitejs/plugin-vue": "^5.2.1",
    "vite": "^6.0.5",
    "vite-plugin-vue-devtools": "^7.6.8"
  }
}

​
Core Technologies

  • Vue 3: Latest version of Vue.js with Composition API
  • Vite: Next-generation frontend build tool for fast development
  • Vue Router: Official routing library for single-page application navigation
  • Pinia: Modern state management solution for Vue 3
  • Axios: Promise-based HTTP client for API requests

​
Development Tools

  • Vue DevTools: Enhanced debugging with Vite plugin integration
  • Vite HMR: Hot Module Replacement for instant feedback during development

​
Architecture Overview

The application follows Vue 3 best practices with a clear separation of concerns:
  • Views: Page-level components for different routes (Home, Pokemons, Pokemon Detail, Favorites, etc.)
  • Components: Reusable UI components (Pagination, Search, Cards)
  • Composables: Shared logic like useGetData for API calls
  • Stores: Centralized state management with Pinia for favorites
  • Router: Route configuration with lazy-loaded components
The application uses the Composition API with <script setup> syntax for cleaner and more maintainable code.

​
