Vue.js 1.0 was released at the end of October and packs some awesome new features. While most of the library looks and feels the same as it always has, there are a few changes that are worth noting. In this article, we’ll explore some of the changes and how you can use them to be more productive and expressive when creating apps with Vue.js.



If you’ve tried Vue.js before, your experience might be that it’s similar to other frameworks, but is a lighter-weight alternative that’s easier to use. This is true in many ways, and Vue is certainly loved for its ability to serve solely as the view layer for applications. Using it as the view layer, you can implement Single Page App features with very little overhead. However, the Vue.js ecosystem goes way beyond the view layer and makes it possible to craft large-scale SPAs easily.
