title: Nuxtjs & Databases
body: <p>I've been learning Nuxtjs (some previous coding knowledge but brand new to web dev) but I'm still pretty unclear as to how I should be storing data in a Nuxt project. I am working on a data collection/estimation tool for my window cleaning company and I'd like to store information like the customers name &amp; address, and also relate that data to the pane count and subsequent quotes/quote revisions.</p>
  
  <p>Is the Vuex store the appropriate place to be storing this kind of information? I'm especially conscious about the fact that this is technically considered "personal data" which Canadian law protects under PIPA/OIPC. I'm having a really hard time finding tutorials that connect a Nuxt project to Firebase Firestore or some kind of SQL database. I have, however, found several (terrible) tutorials on Udemy by people who can barely speak English who are connecting Nuxt &amp; Laravel together, which should (I assume) build a working PHP/SQL framework for storing/retrieving data. My current tutorial by Academind on Nuxtjs is just diving into the Vuex store, so I'm also wondering if that's because most people use the Vuex store. I figured I'd get some expert input before continuing down the wrong path to try to get where I am going.</p>
  
  <p>I'd love some deeper insight here. Any information you can provide would be a great help. If you have some great tutorials to point me to I'd be happy to check them out.</p>
