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.

Client-side role-based authorization

Now that we have access to the set of roles the current user belongs to, we can start preventing them from accessing certain pages of the application, depending on which roles they are assigned to.

return result;
};

As the name suggests, this getter function determines whether the current user is in a specific role, which we pass in as an argument. This is quite different to the getter functions we've defined before, as in addition to the state parameter we also make use of the optional getters parameter that we also have access to if we need it. On top of this, we then...
