Vue.js: Understanding its Tools and Ecosystem

By: Dave Berning

Overview of this book

Vue.js is one of the top three “go-to” JavaScript frameworks and is used by organizations such as Nintendo, NASA, and Expedia. This book is primarily focused on the ecosystem of Vue.js and its development tools. Understanding the basics of the technology behind the Vue.js ecosystem will improve your skills and make you a better problem solver. The book begins with a brief overview of Vue.js. You’ll learn to work your way through the Vue command line interface CLI 3, and use the Vue Router library to navigate between the different views of your application. As you advance through the topics, you’ll explore the use of DevTools to improve the quality of your applications and how to implement server-side rendering in your application through the Nuxt.js framework. Toward the end of the book, you’ll read about the future of Vue.js and its growing popularity. After reading this book, you’ll be able to create industry-grade applications using Vue.js and its tools.

Chapter 5. Debugging With Vue DevTools

Debugging is part of the development process; probably the most important part of the process. Quality control is crucial to the success of your application. You can have the best looking application, but if it’s riddled with bugs and is not very functional, no one will use it. That’s why development tools are a valuable asset to have in your toolbox, especially good ones. Fortunately, the Vue.js Core Team created the Vue.js DevTools browser extension for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Getting started with the DevTools is really simple and just requires a button click to install it on one of the two browsers.
