How to do it for Magento
For the development of Progressive web apps for Magento, we use the first open source solution – Vue Storefront. It’s a pre-built application that can save time that will be spent on the development.
This application has community, contributors, and support. Vue Storefront can be connected with Magento 2 by API. Also, you can connect it with any backed eCommerce (eg Magento, Pimcore, Prestashop or Shopware).
Vue Storefront was created to solve a set of key business challenges from the world of the shopping experience. This application was created to achieve next goals:
- Speed up front end: ability to render the catalog of products within milliseconds
- The endurance for traffic overloads
- Offline mode
- Using the shopping experience from the mobile apps
- No need for various touchpoints (web browser, iOS, Android) because of all-in-one front-end
