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>

Summary


When you want to compile ES6 you can use Babel.

To automate operations like this and many others (such as minifying, compiling SASS/LESS, etc) you need task runners like Gulp or Grunt.

To bundle things up you can use Webpack or Browserify.

In the next chapter we will dive into Vue's single file components and use several tools that Vue provides you with, along with the tools we have learned.

If you found this chapter hard to understand, don't worry. You don't need to remember all these things. This was just a demonstration in order to give you a better understanding of how things work. From the next chapter we will use project-templates where things like Webpack, build on change and much more, are already implemented and we are just taking advantage of it.
