Wikimedia adopting Vue! 🎉 New Vue online meetup initiatives and more videos from VueConf.us and Vue.js Amsterdam

Hello,

Do you know this website called Wikipedia? Where you can read about things? Like an online encyclopedia of sorts, but everyone can contribute? 🙃 It’s maintained by the good people from Wikimedia as well as volunteers and a few days ago the decision has been made for Wikimedia to adopt Vue! Does it mean Wikipedia will now become a Vue SPA – 99,9% not! But it means some parts of Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects might be using Vue to enhance some of the more complicated, interactive elements. Like the page editor for example. If you’ve been wondering why Vue is called the "progressive framework" this use-case explains it pretty well I think.

As most conferences and meetups get canceled due to the pandemic, many organisers are embracing online events. You can watch the #1 Vue.js Amsterdam Virtual Meetup here. Additionally, a new initiative has been born, largely thanks to Maria Lamardo in the form of Vue Global Meetup that aims to help collaborate different Vue communities around the world to broadcast online meetups. The first of such will happen on the 14th of April. Sign up here if you would like to participate!

Speaking of events – there are several new videos from Vue.js Amsterdam! Vue Mastery has also started publishing talks from the recent VueConf.us.

Stay safe, Damian Dulisz

Vue.js Headless Component

A renderless component (or like in this case called "headless components") is a powerful pattern that utilizes scoped slots to encapsulate functionality while not pushing for any specific UI solutions. Definitely something to be picked up by every Vue developer. At least until composition-api becomes widely available.

Vue.js Functional Components

Cut Your Nuxt.js generate Build Time in Half with context.payload

Markus Oberlehner is back with another great article on using the context.payload param in your asyncData. This especially important if you are using the "static generator" functionality of Nuxt along with dynamic routes. Combining those functions allows you to preload the data that would normally be loaded inside asyncData during build step.

Vue.js and dialogs

Here’s an interesting approach to handling modals or dialogs in Vue. The approach differs from the typical props in / events out pattern and instead suggests you treat the dialog as a promise that can be either resolved or rejected depending on the user choice.
