Episode description

Topics include:

• Why the UI fidelity threshold for building an SPA feels so low
• How forcing yourself to prepare data for Vue helps avoid putting too much logic into your templates
• Why it's still worth building your app as a traditional server-based web app, even if you are using Vue for your entire UI
• Performance and complexity benefits of being able to prepare data for the view in a controller instead of having to build an API
• Strategies for dealing with things like accessing routes, checking authorization rules, and other things you'd normally do in a Blade template
• Switching from a template-inheritance mindset to a component mindset
