Learning Vue

Three months ago, I switched jobs and transitioned from working on a React/Next.js frontend to a Vue 3 frontend.

While this isn't my first time using Vue 3, it is the first time I decided to properly learn it. So, I subscribed to @vueschool_io and started the Vue.js 3 Fundamentals with the Composition API course, thinking, "This is all standard stuff, and I already know everything."

But boy, was I wrong!

It only took two lectures to learn something so small and simple yet incredibly elegant:

<li v-for="{id, label} in items" :key="id">{{ label }}</li>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In all the time I wrote Vue I have never knew this and always went
for this approach:

<li v-for="item in items" :key="item.id">{{ item.label }}</li>

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This small discovery showed me the value of taking the time to properly learn a framework. Sometimes, even the smallest tips can make a big difference.
