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.

Removing products from the cart

We already have the UI elements we need to trigger the removal of products from the cart, so all we need to do now is create the necessary mutation and action in our store and wire everything up. In the ClientApp/store/mutations.js file, add the following exported function:

export const removeProductFromCart = (state, index) => {
state.cart.splice(index, 1);
};

This mutation is a simple case of calling the Array.splice function and passing it the index argument as the position to start deleting from, and instructing it to only delete a single item by passing 1 as the second parameter. Again, by modifying the cart array using the splice function, Vue can detect the change and react to it. This causes any components that are observing this array to update and refresh their UI automatically, the same way they do if a local component's state...
