Gridsome

Vue.js framework that builds static HTML, JSON and JavaScript files for websites and apps at build time.

Gridsome is a framework for building static websites and apps with Vue.js. Pages are .vue files in src/pages, and a [param].vue file is a dynamic route. Source plugins fetch content from local files or external APIs into a local database, and a GraphQL data layer queries it. The build writes one HTML file and one JSON file for each page.

Each generated page loads as static HTML and then hydrates into a Vue single-page app in the browser. The deployment guide says a site needs a static web host and lists services for Git-based deploys, as well as uploading the build folder over FTP.

Worth knowing

The docs name VuePress, Nuxt and Gatsby as alternatives.
