I'm a fan of Magento 2.3 its new GraphQL layer. However, I often hear that people are still waiting for things to be completed. Perhaps I'm not seeing those problems that they are facing, but to me, creating and extending GraphQL is easy and doable. To demonstrate this, here's a little simple Yireo_AdditionalEndpointsGraphQl module to get you going.

Finally, the big word is out: Reacticon v3 will take place at the zoo. To be more specific, the Burgers Zoo in Arnhem, The Netherlands. Even while you might be postponing attending any conference for this moment, do make sure to write this down in your calendar. Because Reacticon is not to be missed. And the beautiful venue only stresses this.

Ok, this is fake news. Vue Storefront does not drop support for Magento, despite what people thought they were hearing after watching a video Ecosystem of Vue Storefront Products that VSF published recently.

It is a long title for a blog post, but it has been popping up so repeatedly that I felt I needed to dedicate a blog on it: Getting contributions is great and I have been receiving a lot of contributions lately that allow for the version in composer.json files of my Magento modules to be removed.

It was a busy month, this November. Yireo has started with Vue Storefront. This resulted in a lot of studying, some trial-and-error playing, reading, writing, fighting against self-imposed deadlines - not just in November, but actually starting from the early summer.

I'm slowly diving into the world of Vue Storefront - having given quite a few developer trainings on the topic already and also preparing myself for a few projects (and extensions). One of the key things that people still find lacking is theme inheritance - the ability to extend a child theme from a parent theme. And while one of the VSF core developers hinted that extending the Webpack configuration with a plugin like NormalModuleReplacementPlugin should be possible, nobody seemed to come up with the solution yet. So here it is: Theme inheritance for Vue Storefront.

The news was already out there and few started to ask even when ticket sales would start. But first, the official news statement: Reacticon 3 is coming. Now, wait in anticipation.

One question that I get asked a lot is: Vue or React?
