Vue.js 2 Cookbook

By: Andrea Passaglia

Overview of this book

Vue.js is an open source JavaScript library for building modern, interactive web applications. With a rapidly growing community and a strong ecosystem, Vue.js makes developing complex single page applications a breeze. Its component-based approach, intuitive API, blazing fast core, and compact size make Vue.js a great solution to craft your next front-end application. From basic to advanced recipes, this book arms you with practical solutions to common tasks when building an application using Vue. We start off by exploring the fundamentals of Vue.js: its reactivity system, data-binding syntax, and component-based architecture through practical examples. After that, we delve into integrating Webpack and Babel to enhance your development workflow using single file components. Finally, we take an in-depth look at Vuex for state management and Vue Router to route in your single page applications, and integrate a variety of technologies ranging from Node.js to Electron, and Socket.io to Firebase and HorizonDB. This book will provide you with the best practices as determined by the Vue.js community.

Introduction


In this chapter, you will find all the building blocks needed to develop a fully functional, interactive, self-contained Vue application. In the first recipe, you will create computed properties that encapsulate the logic you can use to create a more semantic application; you will then explore some more text formatting with filters and the v-html directive. You will create a graphically appealing application with the help of conditional rendering and transitions. Finally, we will build some form elements such as checkboxes and radio buttons.

From now on, all recipes will be written exclusively with ES6. At the time of this writing, if you are using Chrome 9x and JSFiddle to follow along, they should work seamlessly; if you are integrating this code into a bigger project, remember to use Babel (for more information, check out the Using Babel to compile from ES6 recipe in Chapter 8, Organize + Automate + Deploy = Webpack).
