The Majesty Of Vue.js

By: Alex Kyriakidis, Kostas Maniatis

Overview of this book

<p>Vue.js is a library to build interactive web interfaces. The aim is to provide the benefits of reactive data binding and composable view components with an API that is as simple as possible.</p> <p>This book will teach you how to efficiently implement Vue.js in your projects. It starts with the fundamentals of Vue.js to building large-scale applications. You will find out what components, filters, methods, and computed properties are and how to use them to build robust applications.</p> <p>Further on, you will become familiar with ES6, single file components, module bundlers, and workflow automation. The best way to learn to code is to write it, so there’s an exercise at the end of most of the chapters for you to solve and actually test yourself on what you have learned. You can solve these in order to gain a better understanding of Vue.js.</p> <p>By the end of this book, you will be able to create fast front-end applications and increase the performance of your existing projects with Vue.js integration.</p>

Module bundling with Webpack


Module bundlers

Our workflow works fine with current code of sum.js. We will extend its features to calculate the cost of a pizza and a beer and let the client know.

src/sum.js:

const pizza = 10 
const beer = 5 
 
const sum = (a, b) => a + b + '$'; 
console.log('Alex, you have to pay', sum(pizza, beer)) 

This code looks good, but assuming that not everyone is called Alex we'll create a new file, client.js, which will provide the client's name.

src/client.js:

export const name = 'Alex' 

We'll import the name from there.

src/sum.js:

import { name } from './client' 
 
const pizza = 10 
const beer = 5 
 
const sum = (a, b) => a + b + '$'; 
console.log(name, 'you have to pay', sum(pizza, beer)) 

Great! If we run node assets/js/sum.js we get the expected output:

Output of sum.js

You expect here that the same behavior will apply when we open the HTML file in the browser, but it doesn't! We get an error...
