Hi 👋

No exciting personal updates this week. However, I migrated my Nuxt Starter Kit to Nuxt UI v4 (alpha)! You can now use it without a Nuxt UI Pro license and get access to all Nuxt UI Pro components for free.

Enjoy this issue and have a lovely week ☀️

💡 Vue Tip: Getting the Previous Value of a Computed Property

Since Vue 3.4+ you can get the the previous value returned by the computed property accessing the first argument of the getter:

1<script setup>
2import { ref, computed } from 'vue'
3
4const count = ref(2)
5
6// This computed will return the value of count when it's less or equal to 3.
7// When count is >=4, the last value that fulfilled our condition will be returned
8// instead until count is less or equal to 3
9const alwaysSmall = computed((previous) => {
10  if (count.value <= 3) {
11    return count.value
12  }
13
14  return previous
15})
16</script>

In case you're using a writable computed:

1<script setup>
2import { ref, computed } from 'vue'
3
4const count = ref(2)
5
6const alwaysSmall = computed({
7  get(previous) {
8    if (count.value <= 3) {
9      return count.value
10    }
11
12    return previous
13  },
14  set(newValue) {
15    count.value = newValue * 2
16  }
17})
18</script>

Nuxt

📕 How To Run Scheduled Tasks in Nuxt on Netlify – The Hacky Way … for now…*

👉🏻 Nitro (and thus Nuxt) has experimental support for scheduled tasks.

👉🏻 However, if you're deploying to Netlify, you'll quickly discover that Nitro's scheduledTasks feature doesn't work yet.

📕 Nitro: My Favourite Abstraction

👉🏻 "When Nitro first came onto the scene I found it confusing and weird. Now I can't imagine web dev without it."

👉🏻 This deep dive explores its powerful features, source code, and practical use cases to help you write more resilient Vue apps.

📹 Nuxt has better chunking now

👉🏻 In the latest Nuxt release, the chunking was improved a lot, leading to stable hashes and less changing files per build.

👉🏻 Figure out what happened and what the problem was.

Launch Your Nuxt App in Minutes - Not Weeks I built this starter kit because I kept rewriting the same boilerplate for every new Nuxt project.
