We have just published the latest episode in our series of videos entitled Frontity Talks.

In this episode we cover two topics. Michael demonstrates how to use beforeSSR to pre-fetch data, in this case a contact form, that can then be included anywhere on your site. JuanMa then explains how to use processors to parse incoming HTML and process it.
