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.

Filtering on the server

As it stands, we have no way of filtering our list of products, which will soon become a problem when we have more than a handful of them. Users of our shop will expect to be able to filter down the list to help them find exactly what they are looking for, without scrolling through pages and pages of results.

With the data model we just set up, we can filter the list by brand, price, screen size, capacity, color, operating system, and feature. We have a few changes to make to achieve this as our API does not yet support filtering on the product list query, and we have no filter components in our client app. We'll start by making the changes we need to the API.
