I’m willing to bet that there are a lot of developers out there who still reach for jQuery when tasked with building simple apps. There are often times when we need to add some interactivity to a page, but reaching for a JavaScript framework seems like overkill — with all the extra kilobytes, the boilerplate, the b...
In this article, we’ll explore how to integrate Bootstrap with Vue.js using Bootstrap-Vue. React and Vue.js are two leading, modern JavaScript frameworks for front-end development. While React has a steep learning curve, a complex build process (if you’re coming from a jQuery world), all you need to do to start usi...
There are times you need to change an element’s CSS classes at runtime. But when changing classes, it’s sometimes best to apply style details conditionally. For example, imagine your view has a pager. Pagers are often used to navigate larger sets of items. When navigating, it can be helpful to show the user...
Universal (or Isomorphic) JavaScript is a term that has become very common in the JavaScript community. It is used to describe JavaScript code that can execute both on the client and the server. Many modern JavaScript frameworks, like Vue.js, are aimed at building Single Page Applications (SPAs). This is done to improv...
Charts are an important part of modern websites and applications. They help to present information that cannot be simply represented in text. Charts also help to make sense of data that would ordinarily not make sense in a textual format by presenting them in a view that’s easy to read and understand. In this art...
More often than not, when building your JavaScript application, you would want to fetch data from a remote source or consume an API. I recently looked into some publicly available APIs and found that there is lots of cool stuff that can be done with data from these sources. With Vue.js, you can literally build an app a...
[special]Phew, 2016 is over! It was a crazy year for both the world and JavaScript land. Countless new impressive libraries and frameworks popped up, You Might Not Need JavaScript showed some patterns that made many question their use of JavaScript (a little) and one tweet of a slide from Nolan Lawson’s talk on Front...
Another year is almost over and, of course, a year is a long time for the web. As 2016 draws to a close, the retrospective articles start to appear, looking back on the most important changes of the last 12 months (keep your eyes peeled for ours next week). One thing that I doubt anyone is unaware of (unless you’...
Back in September, the popular JavaScript framework Vue.js released v2 and ever since I’ve been really eager to give it a spin and see what it’s like to work with. As someone who’s pretty familiar with Angular and React, I was looking forward to seeing the similarities and differences between them and...
Today we’re going to exercise our Vue.js skills by building a simple app for browsing reddit posts. We’re going to construct the whole thing from scratch to demonstrate just how easy it is to create user interfaces with a framework like Vue. This tutorial requires you to have at least some basic knowledge ...
