Overview of this book

This book will walk you through the process of developing an e-commerce application from start to finish, utilizing an ASP.NET Core web API and Vue.js Single-Page Application (SPA) frontend. We will build the application using a featureslice approach, whereby in each chapter we will add the required frontend and backend changes to complete an entire feature. In the early chapters, we’ll keep things fairly simple to get you started, but by the end of the book, you’ll be utilizing some advanced concepts, such as server-side rendering and continuous integration and deployment. You will learn how to set up and configure a modern development environment for building ASP.NET Core web APIs and Vue.js SPA frontends.You will also learn about how ASP.NET Core differs from its predecessors, and how we can utilize those changes to our benefit. Finally, you will learn the fundamentals of building modern frontend applications using Vue.js, as well as some of the more advanced concepts, which can help make you more productive in your own applications in the future.

If you remember, at the end of our server-side changes, we removed the access token expiration date from the response returned from a successful authentication request. We don't care about when the token expires anymore, as our refresh token interceptor will handle our need to obtain a new access token every 15 minutes anyway. As such, we can modify our authenticated getter function to omit the expiry date check. Open up the ClientApp/store/getters.js file and modify the isAuthenticated function like so:

export const isAuthenticated = state => {
return state.auth !== null && state.auth.access_token !== null;
};

We can now test that everything is working properly by monitoring the Network tab within Chrome's DevTools. Rather than waiting 15 minutes for your access token to expire, you can change the expiration in the appsettings.json file to a...
