# Frontend Development Guidelines
2018-10-15 14:42:47 +05:30
> **Notice:**
We are currently in the process of re-writing our development guide to make it easier to find information. The new guide is still WIP but viewable in [development/new_fe_guide](../new_fe_guide/index.md)
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
This document describes various guidelines to ensure consistency and quality
across GitLab's frontend team.
## Overview
2018-10-15 14:42:47 +05:30
GitLab is built on top of [Ruby on Rails][rails] using [Haml][haml] and also a JavaScript based Frontend with [Vue.js][vue].
Be wary of [the limitations that come with using Hamlit][hamlit-limits]. We also use [SCSS][scss] and plain JavaScript with
modern ECMAScript standards supported through [Babel][babel] and ES module support through [webpack][webpack].
### Javascript development
[Vue.js][vue] is used for particularly advanced, dynamic elements and based on previous iterations [jQuery][jquery] is used in lot of places through the application's JavaScript.
We also use [Axios][axios] to handle all of our network requests.
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
We also utilize [webpack][webpack] to handle the bundling, minification, and
compression of our assets.
2019-03-02 22:35:43 +05:30
Working with our frontend assets requires Node (v8.10.0 or greater) and Yarn
(v1.10.0 or greater). You can find information on how to install these on our
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
[installation guide][install].
### Browser Support
For our currently-supported browsers, see our [requirements][requirements].
