Needs advice
on
GraphQLGraphQLSymfonySymfony
and
Vue.jsVue.js

Hi all - we've built a very custom and complex application and UI using custom Vue.js + Nuxt.js, which sits on top of a GraphQL API provided by Symfony.

It's a completely custom UI for administration with lots of complex data relationships and the way we've done it has worked very well... however...

Now we need to build a second part of the system, which is a simpler CRUD style application for managing a simpler data object, but one that still has many relationships. It doesn't need quite as much flexibility, but we do need to deliver it faster if possible.

We've looked at various options, for example: - What we've got (Symfony/GraphQL/Apollo/Vue/Nuxt) - A simpler version of the above using a REST API - Symfony + API-Platform + Vue3 - Native Symfony server rendered

When we consider other frameworks, we always seem to hit stumbling blocks - my lead developer is not keen to use anything that will restrict what he can do, but I also need to consider whether there are faster / cheaper / better solutions out there.

The frameworks all seem to be able to create the code to update / delete individual data tables with ease, but make it difficult / impossible when there are complex data relationships.

Does anyone have any other ideas before we continue the way we are doing things?

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you try Laravel + Inertia.js + Vue.js for this simpler application? It's feel cohesive and allows you to move quickly and maintain the same core (PHP + Vue) to simplify the maintenance.
