Learning Vue.js 2

By: Olga Filipova

Overview of this book

Vue.js is one of the latest new frameworks to have piqued the interest of web developers due to its reactivity, reusable components, and ease of use. This book shows developers how to leverage its features to build high-performing, reactive web interfaces with Vue.js. From the initial structuring to full deployment, this book provides step-by-step guidance to developing an interactive web interface from scratch with Vue.js. You will start by building a simple application in Vue.js which will let you observe its features in action. Delving into more complex concepts, you will learn about reactive data binding, reusable components, plugins, filters, and state management with Vuex. This book will also teach you how to bring reactivity to an existing static application using Vue.js. By the time you finish this book you will have built, tested, and deployed a complete reactive application in Vue.js from scratch.

Preface

The most important thing about Vue.js


Vue.js allows you to simply bind your data models to the representation layer. It also allows you to easily reuse components throughout the application.

You don't need to create special models or collections and to register events object in there. You don't need to follow some special syntax. You don't need to install any of never-ending dependencies.

Your models are plain JavaScript objects. They are being bound to whatever you want in your Views (text, input text, classes, attributes, and so on), and it just works.

You can simply add the vue.js file into your project and use it. Alternatively, you can use vue-cli with Webpack and Browserify family, which not only bootstraps the whole project but also supports hot reloading and provides developer tools.

You can separate the View layer from styles and JavaScript logic or you can put it alltogether into the same Vue file and build your components' structure and logic in the same place. There is plugin support for all modern and commonly used IDEs.

You can use whatever preprocessors you want, and you can use ES2015. You can use it alongside your favorite framework you have been developing in, or you can use it itself. You can use it just to add a small functionality, or you can use the whole Vue ecosystem to build complex applications.
