Internal Structure ​

The internal structure of Shopware Frontends is designed to provide flexibility, reusability and abstraction. Shopware Frontends is a framework that is build with JavaScript and TypeScript.

Some of its components are based on Vue.js and Nuxt.js. The framework is designed to be used mostly with Vue.js and Nuxt.js, but it is not limited to these technologies. You can use it with any other JavaScript framework or library.

This section deals with the different packages and their abstractions. It is sorted by reusability / abstraction level from high to low and shows the main dependencies of each component respectively.
