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>

Installation


There are the usual ways to install the plugin; using cdn, NPM, and Bower. We are going to use the terminal to install it via NPM:

npm install vue-router

Type this command in your terminal to have it installed in your node modules folder inside your project's directory. After it is complete, go to your main.js file and add the following lines:

src/main.js:

import VueRouter from 'vue-router'

Vue.use(VueRouter)

You can install a Vue.js plugin using Vue.use() as shown. For more information about Vue.use check the guide: http://vuejs.org/api/#Vue-use.
