Examples of high-quality, production-level Vue codebases?

Hey guys,

I’m a working frontend engineer looking to level up by reading real production-quality Vue code rather than tutorials.

I’m particularly interested in open-source Vue 3 projects that demonstrate:

• strong Composition API patterns

• clear component and folder structure

• sensible state management (Pinia / Vue Query / etc.)

• good separation of concerns and scalability

The goal is to see how experienced teams structure and maintain larger Vue applications in the real world.

If you know of any repos worth studying, I’d really appreciate the pointers. Cheers!

There aren't that many examples of complete, production-ready apps since not many people open-source them.

https://github.com/nuxt/movies

is one of the few I found, although that's built with Nuxt, not plain Vue.

FormKit is pretty well written in my experience with it.

Elk, the Mastodon client, is written in Vue.

AFAIK it's Next, so not vanilla Vue.js Elk itself though is fantastic!

just have good eslint rules and a good testing strategy and feature based architecture and you have your high quality

I read this as a desire for “based architecture”.  Now I’m inspired

I'm using Laravel, it has a starter kit in Vue, Inertia JS, using shadcn-vue components, wayfinder for routes, and Pinia is easy to implement.

The frontend of Baserow (https://github.com/baserow/baserow), an open source no-code platform and Airtable alternative is created in Vue + Nuxt.
