New Release of Vue2.6- Macross

The other day we were celebrating the 5th anniversary of Vue and now Evan You has released yet another masterpiece, Macross to streamline web development. The new release of Vue 2.6 comes with a refined syntax for slots usage along with performance advancement and few internal changes. Evan has thoroughly revamped the earlier released version to create a better, faster, and smoother experience for developers. Some chief amendments that Vue.js development companies can encounter while using Macross are:

New Syntax for Slots Usage

Earlier Vue.js renders the slots feature to enable flexible component composition; Vue 2.6 has further improvised this feature by introducing a new unified syntax v-slots for scoped and named slots usage. This new directive merges slot and slot-scope that are now deprecated, in a single directive syntax. As per the RFC, slot-scope will be soft-deprecated implying that it will be marked deprecated in the docs and Vuejs developers will be stimulated to use the new syntax, but no deprecation messages will be shown for now.

Error Handling

Vue’s built-in error handling mechanism is now revamped to capture errors inside v-on handlers. Besides, if any of your event handlers or lifecycle hooks carry out asynchronous operations, you can return a Promise from the function, thereby even uncaught errors from that Promise chain are sent to your event handlers. Also, it becomes easier to use async/await since async functions implicitly return Promises.

Advancement in Performance

In Vue 2.6 Evan has introduced an optimization that ensures parents scope dependency mutations only affect the parent and no longer compels the child component to update if it only uses scoped slots. Additionally, all slots using this new syntax are compiled in scoped slots that means all slots automatically gets a performance booster.

Data Prefetching

Macross fosters a new feature of serverPrefetch hook which allows any component to pre-fetch while server-side rendering, it reduces the coupling amid data fetching and the router making more flexibility for Vue.js developers.

Reverting nexTick to Microtask

An internal modification was made in 2.5 version which caused nexTick to utilize Macrotasks rather than Microtasks to queue updates if the update was triggered in a v-on event handler. It was intended to fix the browser edge cases, but in return has led to an array of other problems. To troubleshoot this problem Evan designed Macross that enables you to revert, nexTrick to perpetually use Microtasks in each of the cases.

These features will surely bring a drastic change in the web world, it will also escalate the value of Vue among Entrepreneurs looking for a suitable framework for front-end development. Macross has created a lot of buzz and every front-end developer is eager to try on this impeccable version.If you are also in search of an ideal platform to head-start your dream application look no further than Vue.js.
