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.

Building Our First Vue.js Components

With our project set up and ready to go, it's time to start writing some more involved client-side code and build our first custom components. We'll start by creating a component to display a static list of products, with the option of selecting a product to view its full details. Then, we'll finish things off by creating some API endpoints to provide real data and hook our components up to them.

In summary, we'll be covering the following topics:

  • Component composition
  • Rendering collections of data with the v-for directive
  • Data binding with the v-bind directive
  • Event handling with the v-on directive
  • Conditional rendering with the v-show and v-if directives
  • Client-side routing
  • Fetching data from an API
