While working on a Vue.js project using Vuetify, we faced major issues upgrading from version 1.5 due to directly using components like v-btn in hundreds of places. The update took weeks because we had to manually refactor over 3,200 component instances. To solve this, we created wrapper components like app-btn, where v-btn is used only once. This made future upgrades simple, requiring changes in just one place.
By limiting prop combinations and defining consistent button variants, we improved design consistency and maintainability. We also avoided using overly simple Vuetify components like v-flex, opting instead for native CSS to deepen our core web skills.
After refactoring, only 10 wrapper components interact with Vuetify directly. This reduced upgrade time from weeks to hours and made our codebase cleaner and more resilient. The key is to abstract dependencies and focus on solid HTML/CSS/JS knowledge that doesn't become obsolete — the kind of knowledge that will outlast the last price of any popular computer framework.
