Nuxt.js v2.10.0 released along with a new homepage! Polish Vue Vixens chapter and more!

Hello everybody,

it's An here this time with a massive Oktoberfest hangover (note to self: 3 liters of weißbier might be a little too much for an empty stomach).

Some of you must already be at Vue.js London this weekend to enjoy the great talks from some of the best speakers in the Vue-world (and a remote key note from Evan You himself!)

For those who didn't manage to grab a ticket: No worries, more conferences and meetups are already planned. And, of course, at the end of the day we'll always have this newsletter!

And if you want to feed your FOMO, follow the #vuejslondon Twitter hashtag.

Prost!

Dependency Injection in Vue.js with Functional Component Factories

Dependency Injection, or DI in short, is a common design pattern that decouples the usage of an object from its creation, which (among other benefits) helps reduce boilerplate code and make unit testing easier. While not exactly the most basic technique, DI is certainly something you'd want to get a hold of to become a better developer. In this article, Markus introduces us to one interesting method to use DI in Vue – are you ready to dive in?
