Quasar review
A broad Vue toolkit for teams building web, mobile, desktop, and extension apps.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Quasar brings a Vue.js UI library, plugins, directives, composables, utilities, and a CLI into one open-source framework. It is aimed at Vue teams that want to build responsive websites, server-rendered or static sites, progressive web apps, browser extensions, mobile apps, and desktop apps from a shared codebase. Its breadth suits teams spanning several targets; a project focused on a single platform may not need the full range.
The CLI supports SPA, SSR, SSG, and PWA builds, as well as browser extensions. For mobile applications, Quasar uses Capacitor or Cordova to target Android and iOS; desktop builds use Electron for macOS, Windows, and Linux. That makes the framework's value closely tied to its build ecosystem: teams can share a Vue-based foundation across targets, but should be comfortable with the named technologies for mobile and desktop packaging. Apollo GraphQL and Quasar App Extensions are listed integrations, and App Extensions add capabilities to CLI projects.
The component library has more than 120 Vue.js UI components, and Quasar documents WAI-ARIA semantics, keyboard navigation, and focus management. TypeScript can be enabled in Quasar projects. The framework is MIT-licensed and open source, with a free plan; the published offering is not organized here into paid tiers. Support channels are community and documentation. Choose Quasar if cross-platform reach and a broad Vue component toolkit are central requirements. Teams that do not need multiple build targets, or that prefer a framework centered on another UI ecosystem, may find a narrower fit more appropriate.
