💬 Potential Interview Questions
-
What are the key differences between Vue.js and jQuery in building modern web applications?
Vue offers a component-based architecture with reactive data binding and state management, while jQuery is DOM-centric and imperative; Vue is better suited for scalable, maintainable applications. -
How do you ensure cross-browser compatibility in a Vue-based front-end?
I use polyfills (like core-js), CSS feature fallbacks, test in major browsers, and avoid browser-specific APIs unless properly gated with detection or graceful degradation. -
Describe your process for integrating a front-end app with a .NET back-end.
I align on API contracts, use tools like Swagger, handle CORS, secure endpoints via tokens or cookies, and consume endpoints using Axios or Fetch in Vue components. -
What are best practices for organizing and distributing custom components across a front-end project?
I structure components by domain or feature, follow consistent naming conventions, bundle reusable packages using tools like Vite or Rollup, and document them via Storybook. -
How do you test Vue components using Vitest or Storybook?
I write unit tests to validate props, events, and computed properties, use mocks for dependencies, and validate component rendering and behavior under various scenarios. -
What’s your experience deploying apps via Azure DevOps and managing the DevOps lifecycle?
I’ve configured build/release pipelines using YAML, deployed containerized apps to Azure Web Apps or Kubernetes, managed secrets via Key Vault, and set up monitoring/rollback policies. -
How do you optimize front-end performance in a Vue application?
I lazy-load routes, minimize bundle size with code splitting, cache static assets, debounce user inputs, and avoid unnecessary reactivity in templates. -
How do you handle global state management in Vue apps?
I use Vuex or Pinia for shared state, modularize the store by feature, ensure mutations are predictable, and avoid storing derived or redundant data globally. -
Explain your approach to maintaining a consistent design system in a SaaS product.
I use reusable UI components, CSS utility frameworks like Tailwind (if applicable), integrate design tokens, and collaborate closely with designers via Figma or similar tools. -
Describe a project where you had to work across multiple teams to ship a complex feature.
I coordinated with back-end and design teams, managed async communication via standups and docs, set clear API integration plans, and ensured shared understanding through collaborative testing.
