Overview of this book

Building Applications with Spring 5 and Vue.js 2, with its practical approach, helps you become a full-stack web developer. As well as knowing how to write frontend and backend code, a developer has to tackle all problems encountered in the application development life cycle – starting from the simple idea of an application, to the UI and technical designs, and all the way to implementation, testing, production deployment, and monitoring. With the help of this book, you'll get to grips with Spring 5 and Vue.js 2 as you learn how to develop a web application. From the initial structuring to full deployment, you’ll be guided at every step of developing a web application from scratch with Vue.js 2 and Spring 5. You’ll learn how to create different components of your application as you progress through each chapter, followed by exploring different tools in these frameworks to expedite your development cycle. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a complete understanding of the key design patterns and best practices that underpin professional full-stack web development.

Chapter 5. Data Modeling - Designing the Foundation of the Application

Data models are the foundation of an application. Getting them right at the beginning is much easier than changing the foundation later because, at the design stage, all of the changes you need to make can be done with papers and pencils. On the other hand, making a change to data models during the implementation of the application usually involves modifying all of the code through each layer of the application, and as we mentioned before that changes are unavoidable, building good data models can help you make those changes much easier.

In this chapter, we will design the data models of the TaskAgile application, and you will learn the following:

  • The basics of data modeling
  • The goals of doing data modeling
  • Conceptual data modeling with ER diagrams
  • Logical data modeling
  • Physical data modeling for RDBMS
  • Physical data modeling for MongoDB
