My head is about to explode... Trying to wrap my head around the best way for integrating a suitable frontend solution with a symfony backend.

So many implications, so many opinions, so many possibilities.. A very big project, a lot of requirements, a very small team and most of the colleagues have their main focus on backend development though..

Feeling lost currently, not really sure how to approach this huge topic 😥

Get help.

@heyheni doing so currently! Trying to take into account all the experience and advice I can get from colleagues and friends working as developers as well.

Also have slept on it for another night now and I guess, theory and concept is for sure important, but at some point you just have to start somehow and approach it step by step.

Yesterday I simply got to a point where it was too much and just had to complain about it somewhere... thank god there's DevRant. 😁

However - if someone has experience in integrating a frontend solution with a Symfony backend, would be grateful to hear about it.

1. Get Vue
2. Write an API to serve models
3. Make Vue components
3. Tell Vue components to get data from the API
4. Render stuff based on data provided
Repeat with every page you need.
+1 get an art director to design what you can build then

Happy Coding Broski!

@dcode thanks for your advice! Have personally worked with Vue before and I like it a lot!
Have some experience in React and Angular as well, so choosing a frontend framework wouldn't trouble me too much.

However, there are concerns in the company that search engines still do not rate SPAs as high as server-side rendered sites.

I'd suggest an isomorphic rendering approach then, but I won't get the opportunity to execute JavaScript on our servers...

These are the points where the discussions pop up though. 😉
