Teleports and When to Use Them

DejaVue

Welcome to the fourth episode of DejaVue! From a Nuxt topic last week, Michael and Alex jump into a plain Vue.js topic again, or would you say... teleport?
Yes, correct! The Teleports feature from Vue 3 will be explored - from its use cases to the native HTML dialog tag. The two hosts also cover how Teleports were created, even back in Vue 2, and talk about a Nuxt implementation too.

Learn more about Teleports in this episode of DejaVue!

Post-podcast note: The Popover API is now available in all major browsers!
