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.

However, we still have one step left. Do not forget about our backend server that serves the REST API for the shopping lists. We need to run it as well.

Or even better, why do we need to run two servers if we can have just one server that does everything? We can integrate our JSON server with our express server by providing it the routing path to serve the shopping list endpoint, let's say api. Open the server.js file, import the jsonServer dependency there, and tell the express app to use it. So, your server.js file will look like the following:
