Overview of this book

Vue.js is a frontend web framework which makes it easy to do just about anything, from displaying data up to creating full-blown web apps, and has become a leading tool for web developers. This book puts Vue.js into a real-world context, guiding you through example projects that helps you build Vue.js applications from scratch. With this book, you will learn how to use Vue.js by creating three Single Page web applications. Throughout this book, we will cover the usage of Vue, for building web interfaces, Vuex, an official Vue plugin which makes caching and storing data easier, and Vue-router, a plugin for creating routes and URLs for your application. Starting with a JSON dataset, the first part of the book covers Vue objects and how to utilize each one. This will be covered by exploring different ways of displaying data from a JSON dataset. We will then move on to manipulating the data with filters and search and creating dynamic values. Next, you will see how easy it is to integrate remote data into an application by learning how to use the Dropbox API to display your Dropbox contents in an application In the final section, you will see how to build a product catalog and dynamic shopping cart using the Vue-router, giving you the building blocks of an e-commerce store.

Linking folders and updating the structure

Now that we have our folders and files separated, we can transform our folder names into links. These links will then update the structure to show the contents of the selected folder. For this, we are going to use the path_lower property in each folder to build the link target.

Create a dynamic link to each folder name, linking to the folder's path_lower. As we are getting more familiar with Vue, the v-bind property has been shortened to just the colon notation:

      Vue.component('folder', {
template: '<li><strong><a :href="f.path_lower">{{
f.name }}</a></strong></li>',
props: {
f: Object
},
});

We now need to add a click listener for this link. When clicked, we need to trigger the getFolderStructure method on the dropbox...
