#147: Vue Function API discussion, VueAndWine workshosp and VueCamp!

There has been quite a push-back recently around the Function-based Component API, that was proposed a few weeks ago. You have been heard – we’ve received lots of great feedback. As we’re working on a new, revamped RFC and a more high-level article, you can read the short amendment to the previous RFC.

Going back to the Vue 3.0 RFC outcry – here’s a pretty great write-up that summarizes the proposed changes and how those could affect the future of building Vue components. I think the article should give you a pretty decent look at all the benefits of an API like this, with no drawbacks – since the API is fully additive – no breaking changes, no need to rewrite your code.

Here’s another great article on the proposed function API. And here, you can even try it out yourself, since the author has created a working proof of concept of the new features using the existing Vue.js v2.6 API. Pretty impressive, but definitely not something you should use in your app. Still, it can help you grasp the bigger idea of what’s possible.

And the last article focused on Vue 3.0. Here, instead of going deep into the possible implementation, Kevin Ball shares his 3 insights that touch more on the general direction and how Vue would fit in the overall landscape of modern front-end frameworks. Great read!

Ever heard of functional components in Vue? They are not all that popular, since almost everything a functional component can do, can be done with a regular one.
