Obtain all the necessary tools for developing a progressive web application (PWA) with Vue.js, a modern JavaScript framework. Yoüll see how PWAs behave like a regular responsive website and have a similar structure to that of a web application, but feel like a native mobile app. Along the way yoüll take advantage of Vue.js features to build fast, high-performing progressive web apps that work offline.
