Which framework to start project ?

Hi,
I'm a bit lost with all the possibilities in the Javascript stack. I will start a new project (a multi-sport tournament management app) and I wanted to use AdonisJS. However, I'm not sure about the frontend part.

I want a dynamic and fluid UI with real-time score updates using websockets and not reloading all the page to see the updated data.

Should I go with Adonis/EdgeJS or Adonis/Inertia and Reacte/Vue ? Is it a good choice to combine Inertia with Vue ? (or Edge better)

Thank you :)

    Hi Petzi!

    Real time data is going to be possible with either approach. As for which you should choose, that's really up to you. If you have a ton of dynamic elements, Inertia would probably be better. If it is mostly static content with some dynamic elements, then EdgeJS would likely be much easier.

    The best way to answer this is to get hands on experience with them yourself, as everybody's opinions are going to be different. I'd recommend spending about a half hour to an hour with each to get a feel for them to help aide in your decision.

    As for whether combining Inertia with Vue is a good choice, using Inertia would actually require working with Vue, React, Svelte, etc. Inertia is just a data broker between AdonisJS and those frontend client. If you choose to go with Inertia, which frontend client you choose out of those is completely up to you and your preferences. There's no superiority in the eyes of Inertia there. 😊

    Hope this helps!
