Not to be confused with Lifecycle Hooks, Hooks were introduced in React in v16.7.0-alpha, and a proof of concept was released for Vue a few days after. Even though it was proposed by React, it’s actually an important composition mechanism that has benefits across JavaScript framework ecosystems, so we’ll spend a little time today discussing what this means.

Mainly, Hooks offer a more explicit way to think of reusable patterns — one that avoids rewrites to the components themselves … Read article

There are situations where keeping a reference to the last route a user visited can come in handy. For example, let’s say we’re working with a multi-step form and the user proceeds from one step to the next. It would be ideal to have the route of that previous step in hand so we know where the user left off, in the event that they navigate away and come back later to complete the form later.

We’re going to cover … Read article

I recently had an opportunity to work on a fantastic research and development project at Netguru. The goal of project (codename: "Wordguru") was to create a card game that anyone can play with their friends. You can see the outcome here.

One element of the development process was to create an interactive card stack. The card stack had a set of requirements, including:

• It should contain a few cards from the collection.
• The first card should be interactive.
• The

I recently needed to make a donut chart for a reporting dashboard at work. I wanted it to dynamically calculate its segments based on an arbitrary set of values, have labels, scale well across all screen sizes and devices be accessible, and cross-browser compatible, among other things. This article details the steps I took to do that, using Vue.js.

In this tutorial, we’ll pair Vue.js, three.js and LUIS (Cognitive Services) to create a voice-controlled web visualization.… Read article

In the last months, I've learned a lot about Vue. From building SEO-friendly SPAs to crafting killer blogs or playing with transitions and animations, I've experimented with the framework thoroughly.

But there's been a missing piece throughout my learning: plugins.

Most folks working with Vue have either comes to rely on plugins as part of their workflow or will certainly cross paths with plugins somewhere down the road. Whatever the case, they’re a great way to leverage existing … Read article

By default, communication between Vue components happen with the use of props. Props are properties that are passed from a parent component to a child component. For example, here’s a component where title is a prop:

<blog -post title="My journey with Vue"></blog>

Props are always passed from the parent component to the child component. As your application increases in complexity, you slowly hit what is called prop drilling here’s a relate article that is React-focused, but totally applies). Prop drilling… Read article

Let’s start with a short introduction to Vue.js slots concept. Slots are useful when you want to inject content in a specific place of a component. Those specific places that you can define are called slots.

For example, you want to create a wrapper component that is styled in a specific way but you want to be able to pass any content to be rendered inside that wrapper (it might be a string, a computed value, or even another … Read article

There's this popular analogy of Vue that goes like this: Vue is what you get when React and Angular come together and make a baby. I've always shared this feeling. With Vue’s small learning curve, it's no wonder so many people love it. Since Vue tries to give the developer power over components and their implementation as much as it possibly can, this sentiment has led to today's topic.

The term renderless components refers to components that don’t render anything. … Read article

Vue is so hot right now and I’ve been thinking of doing a serious project with it since quite a while, so when the opportunity popped up, I hopped in. But there was a little problem — one of the requirements of the project was to write it in TypeScript. At first, I was super stressed about how I was going to ever get started on this combo, but vue-cli made it so easy.

I’d be lying if I said … Read article
