Vector Search is coming to SQLite

Vector Similarity Search is now available!

Vector search is a technique that converts unstructured data into numeric representations to enable more relevant and efficient searches beyond just keywords. It's widely used in machine learning and LLM.

While vector search is possible in SQLite with an extension, Turso includes it natively in their fork: LibSQL.

Vector Search with Nuxt and SQLite

Nuxt: Building a Similar Products Feature with Vector Search and SQLite

Learn how to build a similar products recommendation feature using SQLite, OpenAI embeddings, and Nuxt.

Markus Oberlehner provides a step-by-step tutorial on how to integrate SQLite and OpenApi into a Nuxt app. This could useful if you are working on e-commerce.

Build sites that scale by organising code by domain, not concern

The flat folder structure of Nuxt might not be well suited for teams or large projects. Dave Steward gives us a few ways to organize our code by domain (or feature) with Nuxt layers.

Be cautious with Nuxt auto-imports

Understanding when to use and when to avoid the auto-import magic

Nuxt's auto-import functionality can be both useful and challenging. While it saves lines and improves readbility, it can grow you bundle size and/or global namespace collisions.

Dave Stewart (again) explains how to avoid these pitfalls in large projects.

The best way to validate forms in Nuxt (full-stack)

Estéban Soubiran from UnJs shows us how he managed to validate forms on both the client and server sides without duplicating the validation logic, from simple text fields to complex file uploads.
