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 custom input controls

So far, our input components are fairly simple wrappers around standard HTML input elements in order to reduce duplication. However, we are yet to define the Typeahead.vue and MultiSelect.vue components, which need to go beyond the standard functionality of a HTML input element.

Now, there are plenty of third-party components that would do the job we want without us going to the extent of building them ourselves. However, it isn't always appropriate to use someone else's component if it doesn't quite look or behave the way we want. It's also quite easy and fun to build our own, and definitely something worth learning for times when you can't find a ready-rolled component to do the job you want.
