I spent a little bit of time to try and get a Vue project to load into a custom module, but it frequently failed with an unable to load message inside of the ignition frame. So I thought it would be worth asking is it possible to write a module in something other then react? ---

You can stand up a complete replacement for Perspective if you wish, but I wouldn't expect anything other than React to be practical for **extending** Perspective, nor be editable from the designer. ---

I am confused, so when you build a react UI it some how needs this perspective piece? Looking at our current react UIs we don’t have anything of the sort it is just react + ignition preloaded components. ---

Let's start from the top: Are you trying to add custom UI **to the gateway** , or specifically within Perspective? In Ignition 8.1, or 8.3? ---

I believe it is the gateway and ignition 8.3 ---

It's actually probably more possible to make a Vue-based gateway UI in 8.1 (though not easy). I have no idea how it would work in 8.3. I'm hesitant to say "impossible", but close to. Either way I would highly recommend against it. The new web UI is consistently React everywhere - with less special setup required than the Perspective module. You'll be much better off swimming with the tide than against it. ---
