Vue Native Update : Latest In The Mix
Error mapping now live! More developmental features introduced.
Announced in January 2018, Vue Native has made quite the progress. Indeed, this week has been great for Vue Native, with the introduction of more development tools to add to the versatility of features that can be instilled in the creation process of your application.
Every step we are taking with Vue Native is a big one, and is in the right direction. We are closer to our goal of providing an easy-to-use app development tool which uses VueJS as a language to provide a seamless app building experience.
These are the newly implemented changes in Vue Native as of first week of August, 2018.
SOURCE MAP SUPPORT
The previously announced Source Mapping support is now live. Vue Native will now map errors to .vue files. Every error in the code will be highlighted and will be easily navigable.
NO MORE JSX (RenderProp)
Based on the concept of React Native, the implementation of ‘Inline Components’ was made possible through defining components, importing them into a file and using a .jsx syntax. With the introduction of a new API called render-prop and render-prop-fn, inline components can be easily used within .vue files, hereby removing the need of jsx template. For detailed information on render-prop, follow this link.
HASSLE-FREE LAYOUT POPULATION WITH NAMED SLOTS
Based on the original concept implied in VueJS, Vue Native now supports content distribution from a parent component using the <slot> element for a base layout defined in its child components. This parent component can now pass information into its child components directly, even handling multiple components using ‘Named Slots’. More information on <slot> functionality can be found here.
V-MODEL SUPPORT FOR SWITCH
v-model makes <switch> implementation fluid by managing user states internally through implementation of two-way data binding. This essentially removes the necessity of a method that is explicitly defined to manage data states for <switch>, thereby making code more optimised and easy to employ. An example on v-model can be found here.
