Hire The Top 1% Freelance Vue Developers

Evan You created Vue.js and released it in February 2014. He discovered while working at Google Creative Labs that there is no tool for rapid prototyping. He saw this as a potential idea and that’s how Vue.js was born. Vue.js is a progressive framework for JavaScript used to build web interfaces and one-page applications.

1. Let's introduce Vue.js to you

• Origin story: Evan wanted to learn from Angular and React and make a lighter framework for rapid prototyping. So, he used features that he liked about Angular like declarative data binding and built Vue.js in 2013. In 2014, he released it as an actual project on Github and sent a link to Hacker News. To his surprise, Vue.js got voted on the front page and also got several hundred stars in the first week itself.


• Widely popular: According to Monterails’ survey on Vue.js in 2018, around 75% of the respondents agreed that the ease of integration is the biggest advantage of Vue.js. Over 92% of respondents said they’d use Vue.js again for their next project and 58% decided to add Vue to their tech stack because it’s a pretty easy framework to start with.


• Other trivia: Vue.js has more stars on Github(130494) as compared to React.js(124251).



2. Why is Vue.js widespread?

• Gentle Learning Curve: Vue.js is one of the easiest frameworks to learn and master. All one needs is a few lines of JavaScript and a hint of HTML. Consequently, recruiting Vue.js experts is also less expensive.
• Best of both worlds(AngularJS and ReactJS): As mentioned earlier, Evan You, the creator of Vue, extracted the best features of Angular.js and built Vue.js. Although Vue was made to address shortcomings of Angular, it is a combination of the best features of both, Angular.js and React.js.



3. What are the tools used by Vue.js developers?

Here are some of the tools used by Vue.js developers:

1. Vue CLI

Vue CLI is a command-line interface tool that gives all the necessary items for Vue.js development. It supports an array of development tools and comes with a GUI through which you can prototype a Vue.js app quickly.

2. Vue Starter

This is a boilerplate for apps that are production-ready. Using the Vue Starter tool, Vue.js developers can start from an already established codebase and be ensured of optimal performance.

3. Vue.js DevTools for Chrome and Firefox

The Vue.js DevTools is an extension that you can install on Chrome or Firefox and test and debug your application in the browser. It allows you to inspect various components with ease.

4. Storybook

Storybook is a UI development tool for the development and testing of apps with ease. It works well with various JavaScript frameworks including Vue. You can create your own component library using Storybook, as a story sequence.

5. VuePack

This is a starter kit for Vue.js development which is easy to use and allows you to pick out the components that you need. You can then download these as a minified JS file. The tool contains a number of Vue components that are used in most apps.




4. Writing the Job Description to hire a Vue.js developer

Below are some key points that we at Flexiple have learned through trial and error - a process of filtering through over 15,000 developers.

• Years of software development experience: Be specific about the technology you’re looking for and the number of years of experience needed. A proxy to years of experience can be the number of production-level apps worked on.


• Based on the type of product you are trying to build - social network, SAAS product, etc. - you can prioritize certain developers over others.


• Exposure to specific industries: Developers who have built products in certain industries will already know key aspects of laying the foundation for a great product and will be able to predict possible problems.


• Experience working remotely: A developer with past remote work experience is an added advantage as they would have first-hand experience of everything - right from how contracts work to streamlined communication, as well as timelines and deliverables.


• Strong communication: An essential thing to look at when hiring a freelancer is excellent communication skills. Since all the interaction happens online, a freelancer should be able to effectively communicate to ensure a streamlined execution of all work.



5. Interview Questions for hiring a Vue.js developer

Now that you have made a quality JD, it can still be tricky to evaluate the skills of your applicants. To help you with that, we have created a pool of questions that a good Vue.js developer should be comfortable with.
It is important to note that the ability to answer these questions doesn't imply that you have a top-quality candidate. But it definitely is a big step in that direction. You can also check out some more interview questions on this page.

To help you navigate through these questions, we’ve categorized the interview questions in 3 parts:


A. Basic concepts: Includes all basic concepts used across languages but we've focused on their significance in Vue.js. This will give you an understanding of how strong their programming foundation is.

B. Advanced concepts: Includes all concepts that someone with higher expertise should know.

C. DS/Algorithm questions: To test the logical capability of the candidate.




A. Basic concepts




Coming soon!




B. Advanced concepts

C. Data Structure/ Algorithm

var p = 2;
var q = 4;
var r = 6;
if (p > q > r)
     document.write("true");
else
    document.write("false");

The answer is False. It may look like the output can be true because 6 > 4 > 2 is true, but PHP evaluates $z > $y 
first, which returns a boolean value of 1 or true. This value (true or 1) is compared to the 
next integer in the chain, bool(1) > $z, which will result in NULL and echo “false.”
