Code / Create / Communicate

Vue was first publicly announced in 2014 and is 10 years old this year! In this talk, we will take a look back together at how it changed and evolved from its humble beginnings, discuss some of the challenges and learnings, and how we think about its future.

We'll explore what's new in Nuxt 4, and the architectural decisions we've made to make it 'a better hammer', no matter what kind of project you're facing. I'm aiming for something useful for anyone, even if they don't use Nuxt. So thinking about framework philosophy, and inspiring people with what's under the hood.

As developers we usually have to develop fast and because of that some Software Quality aspects such as Performance, Accessibility or Security can suffer. Configuring web applications to be protected against common threats and hackers is difficult. And that is why, you can use Nuxt Security -> a module for Nuxt that will help you build more secure applications without additional configuration needed! In this talk, I will guide you through the concepts of Security in modern web applications and OWASP to help you build more secure Vue & Nuxt applications!

Let's explore how to create more resilient software systems employing API-first techniques. By utilizing the contract testing tool Specmatic and the Playwright test runner, we can develop tests that ensure our Nuxt applications work perfectly and communicate correctly with Microservices they rely on to get data.

We will take a closer look at how to write OpenAPI specifications that aid us in documenting our APIs and enable us to ensure they work correctly. Furthermore, we can use those specifications to automatically spin up a stub server, which we can use to test our application in a controlled environment with Playwright.

The techniques I'll show you will help you write tests that enable you to rapidly iterate without fearing regressions.

Learning Outcomes:

1. You know about the basic principles of Contract Testing and how it also helps drive our E2E tests.
2. You know to opt for Contract Testing when working with Microservices and BFFs, database seeding when using Nuxt with a database, and mocking when dealing with SPAs.
3. You know the steps to create your first OpenAPI specification and integrate Specmatic with Playwright or Cypress, and you are keen to apply this technique to your projects.

In case you are unaware, shadcn (creator of `ui.shadcn`) created a new way for devs to build component libraries. Instead of a usual component library, where you are limited to the component styling, props, or events designed by the author, you now have the capability to modify the components to suit your needs.Quote from the shadcn himself, "It's a collection of re-usable components that you can copy and paste into your apps."
In this talk, I will be showcasing the power of this approach, walking through how to customize it, and why it has gained such a popularity in the recent months.

Testings are mandatory and unit tests are the foundation for building a good testing system for our project. But for front end projects which involve components, how many unit tests are considered efficient and not overkill? Should we use additional libraries like Testing Library or Vue Test Utils with Vitest to test a component, when we can perform the same with just Playwright? Whether a component test using an E2E framework like Playwright is really a kill for? Let's find out in my talk.

In the ever-evolving landscape of modern single-page applications, VueJS stands out but also presents us with challenges. Among them, authentication is crucial: ensuring the user's identity and securing their journey within your application. Fear not; we're here to guide you through these exciting frontiers. In my session, I'll unravel the secrets of authentication in VueJS applications, making it a delightful learning journey for everyone while keeping the focus on the most critical parts. I'll provide an overview of an authentication flow, break down each step, and demystify the role of JWT tokens in the process. 
Whether you're a seasoned VueJS developer or just getting started, you're welcome. A dash of prior experience with user authentication certainly doesn't hurt, but it's optional. 
Target audience: Web Developers of all levels who want to learn about security topics and best practices.
Key learnings:- Giving a small introduction to the most essential terms and concepts of Authentication;- VueJS is used as an example, but the concepts will be agnostic.

A year has passed since TresJS was open-sourced at this very same conference, so in this talk, we are going to give a full update on what we have been cooking for v4 of the core, including new devtools, translated docs, a cookbook, new features and a lot of bug fixing.

Discover the art of creating scalable forms in Vue using FormKit — ideal for teams with complex form-heavy projects. This talk delves into strategies for decomposing forms into smaller, composable components, simplifying development, and enhancing team efficiency.

Master the art of making your components highly reusable. The 6 Levels of Reusability show us how we can progressively make our components more and more reusable — as needed — and include powerful patterns and tools to help us reuse our code more easily.
