Masala — Spices Vue.js Template

Masala Vue is a feature-rich Food, Recipe & Cooking HTML5 web application built as a fully functional Vue 3 app using the Composition API, Vite, and Bootstrap 5. It ships with 18+ view components, a filterable photo gallery, a full e-commerce module with cart and checkout, a blog module, written entirely with script setup and the Composition API — zero Options API usage.

Built for Vue developers delivering food, recipe & cooking html5 sites and applications. The codebase uses Vue 3 Composition API throughout — ref(), reactive(), computed(), watch(), and composables for shared logic. Single File Components (.vue) keep template, script setup, and scoped styles co-located. Replace the static JSON data sources with any REST API or headless CMS and the reactive layer adapts immediately.

Everything in the Package

• 18+ view-level Single File Components with Vue Router 4 history mode routing
• Vue 3 with script setup syntax and Vite — fast HMR dev server and optimised production build
• Vue Router 4 — history mode with lazy-loaded routes via defineAsyncComponent
• Pinia store for global state management — state, getters, and actions with localStorage persist plugin
• Bootstrap 5 — responsive grid and utility classes
• VeeValidate 4 — schema-based form validation with v-model two-way binding on all forms
• Swiper Vue — touch-friendly carousels via SwiperSlide components
• All data sourced from typed JSON in src/data/ — swap to fetch() or axios for live API
• Scoped CSS inside each .vue file — no global style bleed between components
• Retina-ready, fully responsive from 320px to 1920px+
• Vue DevTools compatible — Pinia store fully inspectable in browser

Composition API and Component Architecture

• All views use script setup — defineProps, defineEmits, ref(), computed(), and watch()
• Composables encapsulate reusable logic — useFilter, useCart, useForm, and feature-specific hooks
• Pinia store: defineStore with typed state, computed getters, and async actions
• defineAsyncComponent applied to secondary view bundles — route-level code splitting
• v-model, v-for, v-if, v-show used throughout — idiomatic Vue 3 template syntax
• storeToRefs used for reactive destructuring of Pinia store properties in setup()
• Folder structure: src/views/, src/components/, src/composables/, src/stores/, src/data/
