Thank you to everybody who offered advice. I've set up a Vue/Vite environment on my laptop and started working my way through the tutorials. Some stuff makes a lot of sense; other stuff not so much yet, but I'm working on cleaning out some old neural storage areas to make room for new knowledge.
I think what would help me at this point was being able to look at the source for some well-written Vue apps written to work in the wikipedia environment. If folks could point me to some examples, I would appreciate it. Are there higher-level wrappers around the Action API, like pywikibot for Python, or do you just do raw fetch calls on the API endpoints? > On Aug 8, 2024, at 1:14 PM, Travis Briggs <audiod...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Vue.js is definitely a good option.
