Improvements to SSR data-fetching in Vue 2.6, first recording from Vue.js Amsterdam, how to snapshot test and more

Hello!

Great news for all server-side-rendering-enthusiasts out there! With Vue v2.6 the SSR data-fetching has been rewritten and now supports "pausing" during rendering, so that additional asynchronous data can be fetched. This opens the possibility to make requests not only in the route components, but in essentially any component that is being rendered. Check out the new guide. 🚀

Don’t go crazy though. Every request in a sequence increases the time before the page will be rendered, so keep that in mind.

By the way, in just 2 weeks, me, Gregg and Adam will be at VueConf.US in Tampa, Florida. Come and say hi to us! If you still don’t have your ticket there shameless plug you can get a $100 discount per ticket when using the VUEMASTERY100 code.

Btw. the first talk from Vue.js Amsterdam is here – Guillaume Chau with "Create a Vue CLI Plugin".

Cheers,

— Damian Dulisz & Phan An
