It’s out! Congrats to the Vue team for getting it done, I know it was a massive effort and a long time coming. All new docs, as well.
I like it’s still a priority that Vue can be used with just a <script tag with no build process at all. But it’s ready for build processes too.

<scripttag, but its internals has been re-written from the ground up
I don’t typically work with UI libraries because they can be cumbersome and hard to override, which can contribute to a bloated. However, Ant Design has recently gained some some of my affection because it’s easy to use, has extensible defaults, and features a delicate design.
Nuxt and Ant Design work well together, in part because of Nuxt’s code-splitting and tree-shaking abilities, not to mention Nuxt’s new static target deployment option. I can serve an app using Ant Design … Read article “Setting up and Customizing the Ant Design System in a Nuxt App”
Have you ever seen a calendar on a webpage and thought, how the heck did they did that? For something like that, it might be natural to reach for a plugin, or even an embedded Google Calendar, but it’s actually a lot more straightforward to make one than you might think. Especially when we use the component-driven power of Vue.… Read article “Let’s Make a Vue-Powered Monthly Calendar”
Managing a custom collection of icons in a Vue app can be challenging at times. An icon font is easy to use, but for customization, you have to rely on third-party font generators, and merge conflicts can be painful to resolve since fonts are binary files.
Using SVG files instead can eliminate those pain points, but how can we ensure they’re just as easy to use while also making it easy to add or remove icons?… Read article “A Font-Like SVG Icon System for Vue”
Vue is in the process of a complete overhaul that rebuilds the popular JavaScript framework from the ground up. This has been going on the last couple of years and, at long last, the API and implementation of Vue 3 core are now stabilize. This is exciting for a number of reasons:
Reactivity is one of Vue’s greatest features. It is also one of the most mysterious if you don’t know what it’s doing behind the scenes. Like, why does it work with objects and arrays and not with other things, like localStorage?
Let’s answer that that question, and while we’re at it, make Vue reactivity work with localStorage.… Read article “How to Make localStorage Reactive in Vue”
Authentication (logging in!) is a crucial part of many websites. Let’s look at how to go about it on a site using Vue, in the same way it can be done with any custom back end. Vue can’t actually do authentication all by itself, —we’ll need another service for that, so we’ll be using another service (Firebase) for that, but then integrating the whole experience in Vue.… Read article “Tackling Authentication With Vue Using RESTful APIs”
We have big JavaScript frameworks that tons of people already use and like, including React, Vue, Angular, and Svelte. Do we need another JavaScript library? Let’s take a look at Alpine.js and you can decide for yourself. Alpine.js is for developers who aren’t looking to build a single page application (SPA). It’s lightweight (~7kB gzipped) and designed to write markup-driven client-side JavaScript.… Read article “Alpine.js: The JavaScript Framework That’s Used Like jQuery, Written Like Vue, and Inspired by TailwindCSS”
Looking to share code between your Vue components? If you’re familiar with Vue 2, you’ve probably used a mixin for this purpose. But the new Composition API, which is available now as a plugin for Vue 2 and an upcoming feature of Vue 3, provides a much better solution.
In this article, we’ll take a look at the drawbacks of mixins and see how the Composition API overcomes them and allows Vue applications to be far more scalable.… Read article “How the Vue Composition API Replaces Vue Mixins”
Hey how cool! A documentary about Vue! Good timing as it looks like VueConf is happening right now. (Reminder we have a site for conferences to tell you stuff like that).
Sarah appears in it (about 21:13) and talks about CSS-Tricks for a second, so we’re officially super famous now and I have already booked sailing lessons. The series Sarah mentioned is here.
I’ll embed it in the body of the post here.… Read article “Vue.js: The Documentary”
