In today's article, we take a closer look at how we can build our own custom lazy loading image component with Vue.js. We use the fast and lightweight Lozad.js package for handling the lazy loading logic for us, and we enhance it with the ability to display the dominant color of the image as a fallback color...
In recent weeks I played around with a ton of headless content management systems. To cut a long story short: there are a lot of bad and a couple of pretty good ones out there. At the end of my journey, I was left with two systems I both very much enjoy: Contentful and Storyblok...

In my recent article, we built a landing page type website powered by a headless CMS and Vue.js. We've seen how quickly we can build a simple site with these two technologies. However there is still a major problem with the result of our work: the loading performance is pretty terrible...
Although, nowadays, my main focus at work is to build app like websites, at my former employer, I generally worked on brochure pages. We built a variety of small to medium scale websites powered by the PHP based CMS Drupal. A couple of days ago, I started thinking about how I would build such sites today...

If you build complex single-page applications, you'll most likely encounter situations where you need different page layouts for certain parts of your app...
In my last article, we've explored how to use the powerful Vue.js transition component, to animate an element from zero height to auto height. Today we'll take a look at how we can utilize the transition component to create fancy transitions between different pages of a Vue Router powered Vue.js application...
Every now and then, I end up in a situation where I need to animate an HTML element from `height: 0` to its natural height (`height: auto`). Based on my experience, I already know that there are only three ways of achieving this: transitioning from `max-height: 0` to `max-height: Xpx`, transitioning from `transform: scaleY(0)` to `transform: scaleY(1)` and JavaScript magic...

In the journey of answering this question, for many people (including me) comes what I call the “Let's Store Everything in Vuex” phase. But very quickly, after having encountered the first obstacles, comes the realization that this cannot be the be-all and end-all solution to managing state in Vue.js applications...
