161Wednesday, October 16, 2019Vue-CLI 4.0 released! VuePress v1.2 Released! Awesomejs.dev for Vue packages!
Hello Vuegazers,
I’m very happy to let you know that Vue has just passed the magical 150k stargazers on GitHub. Remember to put on your sunglasses when the new shiny Vue release ships. 😎
Speaking of new releases – the Vue-CLI v4.0 stable is finally here! Read the release notes here. There’s also a migration guide from v3. Why would you migrate? The new release comes with updated versions of core-js, jest, workbox-webpack-plugin and many more, improving the support for PWAs and testing experience. It also comes with some additional functionalities for plugin authors as well as support for other package managers.
VuePress v1.2.0 has also been released this week and comes with several new improvements. Most notably, you can now use async functions inside the vuepress config file.
Do you know Vue Curated? It’s a platform to search for curated Vue packages, but it has been recently deprecated in favor of awesomejs.dev also created by Guillaume Chau. Check it out, as it already includes several catalogs for packages dedicated to Vue, Nuxt, Vue-CLI, VuePress and Gridsome.
Enjoy,

Forcing Re-computation of Vue's computed properties
Computed properties are one of my favorite features of Vue, although the way they work internally might not be clear on the first sight.

On a side note – you probably shouldn’t be doing this unless you really need it.
Dynamic Vue.js CRUD Applications
The term CRUD stands for "create, read, update and delete" and is usually used to describe actions you can perform on a persistence layer like Vuex. This often ends up with a lot of repetitive code where the only variable is the resource it manages. In this article, Markus shows how you can use dynamic Vuex modules and a JSON schema to generate a fully functioning CRUD.
