@rayrutjes What are mixins “Mixins are a flexible way to distribute reusable functionalities for Vue components. When a component uses a mixin, all options in the mixin will be “mixed” into the component’s own options.” https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/mixins.html

Component = Behavior + UI

@rayrutjes Behavior ● Is the core logic of your component ● If needs to be adapted, guide users towards creating custom components ● Provide common components out of the box

Slide 28

Slide 28 text

@rayrutjes UI ● The look & feel of the component ● Always needs to be customize ● -> translations ● -> adapting look & feel to the existing styles

@rayrutjes My tips regarding slots ● Incredibly simple way for users to extend your components ● Use them! ● Expose at least the variables you use in your default implementation ● Developers are sometime reluctant to create “custom components”, so slots are a friendlier alternative
