Modernizr is a package that detects browser features and makes them queriable via JavaScript and CSS. This is very handy to find out which CSS properties are supported, for example. The approach is much more flexible and stable than using browser vendor and version for this.
Modernizr uses a plugin-based architecture, and you have to build the package yourself, depending on the features you need to detect — at least if you are not using Nuxt.js!

Snapshot testing itself is a built-in feature of Jest, and when searching specifically for image snapshots, you’ll quickly find jest-image-snapshot, which does great work comparing and updating image snapshots. …

You start by installing the module and @nuxtjs/axios via npm install nuxt-mail @nuxtjs/axios

is important here because it allows the module to do…
