A New Vue for NativeScript - Webinar Edition 📺

Vue.js is the fastest growing JavaScript framework today. Its simplicity and lightweight nature have made it a darling of the web community. It only makes sense then to combine the elegance of Vue with the power of NativeScript to deliver truly native mobile apps.

Join us on Thursday, April 5th at 10AM ET as we introduce you to nativescript-vue! This free Vue-focused webinar will cover everything you need to know about using Vue with NativeScript - including an interview with Vue.js creator, Evan You.

NativeScript-Vue has turned 1.0 🎂

Not only do we have a webinar featuring the community-created Vue integration, but we are equally pleased to see nativescript-vue 1.0 officially announced at Vue.js Amsterdam 🎉🍾🍻!

An extra special thanks goes out to Igor Randjelovic as it’s through his tireless dedication to the project that we reached this milestone.

And hey, if you’re in New Orleans, our own Jen Looper will be delivering a session at VueConf US to talk more about how NativeScript and Vue can be a powerful pair for native app development.

How Are We Doing? 🤔

Hearing from our community via GitHub issues, the community forum, and Slack is fantastic, but we’d also like to hear about your general satisfaction with NativeScript.

We ask that you take 1-2 minutes (literally! it’s like four questions!) to tell us how we are doing.

How likely are you to recommend NativeScript?

 

NativeScript 4.0 RC is on the way!

$ tns --version
$ 3.4.2

But soon:

$ npm install -g nativescript@rc
$ tns --version
$ 4.0.0

While the 3.4.2 stable release is what you should be using today, in a few weeks the big 4.0 release candidate will drop. What’s new in 4.0? Glad you asked!

  • New “flexible components composition” to enable static tab-based navigation;
  • Angular CLI integration;
  • LiveSync enabled with Webpack builds;
  • NativeScript UI plugins split into individual components (see this blog post).

The 4.0 RC should be released in the first half of March, followed by a lengthy feedback period, with a final 4.0 release in April.
