Description

Gecko Client is a Vue.js Single Page Application for cryptocurrency market daily information with data provided by CoinGecko API.

Advantages

Being a single page app without complex server-side logic, Gecko Client has some advantages:

• Simple configuration stored in PHP variables and grouped in separated files.
• No server-side dependencies, which makes the code structure very clear and portable.
• No database, saving database usage limits on many shared hosting providers and less installation steps.
• No sync process, cron jobs are not necessary since data is requested directly from CoinGecko API.
• Integrated dev tools are provided to make app changes easy, also environment switch between development to production is seamless.
• Up-to-date, with regular updates with vendors latest releases.
• Right-to-left languages are supported.

Limitations

Here is a list of some conditions/restrictions that will be faced:

• Data loading time is affected by CoinGecko API service (but usually reasonably fast).
• Cryptocurrencies and exchanges names are only available in English.
• Images source origin will be “https://assets.coingecko.com”.
• Single Language only (multi-language is not supported).
• Code knowledge will be required to make deep modifications. You may need to understand PHP, HTML and Javascript languages and Vue.js and Vuetify frameworks.
• Many Robots/Crawlers only parse initial HTML and will not render the content itself.
• Google Adsense may not work properly, but this was not tested.
