Get the most out of Vue Router

Routers in Single page applications touch a broad part of our business logic. As a consequence, we often end up with different ways of handling the same pattern/UX/logic in our code and we often wonder which one is better and why. Different ways of handling data fetching that change the user experience, different ways to implement layouts, and many more. During this talk, I will cover very practical implementations that I have found useful in the past and explain the differences between various Vue Router features. After the talk you will have a better understanding of Vue Router's API and hopefully the excitement to refactor some bits of your Vue app!

TypeScript & Vue @ Politico

“JavaScript that scales” is the tagline for TypeScript, and it can be a beautiful partner for increasingly complex Vue apps. We’ll discuss how CLI TypeScript Vue projects can increase development speed, decrease onboarding time, type errors, and typos, while encouraging self-documenting & maintainable code. Finally, let’s look at remaining hurdles for Vue’s TS implementation (Vuex, mixins, templates), and how the composition API + Vetur will continue to ease those growing pains.

Unconventional Vue—Vue as a Backend Framework

While Vue has emerged as a dominant frontend framework, we can’t forget about the other side of the spectrum. What if we leveraged Vue 3.0’s powerful standalone observability system to manage our backend datastore, with all its reactivity goodness? We could build a highly reactive chat app, power a live scoreboard, or maybe even have Vue trigger AWS Lambda functions as app data changes…

SEO in a Vue.js world

What do a SaaS landing page, blog and e-commerce store have in common? They should all be found through a search engine, ideally by as many people as possible. Search engine optimization (SEO) can therefore be decisive for the success and also the revenue of your projects. But when it comes to Vue.js and SEO, there are many controversial opinions about the impact of Vue on SEO efforts. In my session we will go through the basics of SEO and examine best practices and their implementations with the help of vue-meta and Nuxt.js.

Static is the new dynamic with Nuxt.js

With Nuxt you can now have full static, that means instead of calling the api on navigation you call the payload, this hugely increases performance. But you can also have a single page application as a fallback meaning the sky is the limit as far as static pages is concerned.
