Is it possible to create a native Universal Windows Application using Vue and/or Angular?

Question

If it is possible, what is a good starting point? I've done native app development with Angular and Electron, but I like the idea of leveraging the features and capabilities of the UWP.

Answer 1

Yes, you can build native UWP apps using JavaScript, as it is one of the languages WinRT supports out of the box.

You can check out the documentation for a Hello World example of a UWP JS app and go from there.

The UWP Sample Gallery contains many samples of the APIs you have available and most of them contain a js folder which contains the JavaScript version of the sample, so this is a great source of where you can learn. The Windows APIs are available through the Windows "namespace".

You can include any framework you want in the app, you just put it into your package and you are goot to go.
