Vue.js 2 and Bootstrap 4 Web Development

By: Olga Filipova

Overview of this book

In this book, we will build a full stack web application right from scratch up to its deployment. We will start by building a small introduction application and then proceed to the creation of a fully functional, dynamic responsive web application called ProFitOro. In this application, we will build a Pomodoro timer combined with office workouts. Besides the Pomodoro timer and ProFitOro workouts will enable authentication and collaborative content management. We will explore topics such as Vue reactive data binding, reusable components, routing, and Vuex store along with its state, actions, mutations, and getters. We will create Vue applications using both webpack and Nuxt.js templates while exploring cool hot Nuxt.js features such as code splitting and server-side rendering. We will use Jest to test this application, and we will even revive some trigonometry from our secondary school! While developing the app, you will go through the new grid system of Bootstrap 4 along with Vue.js’ directives. We will connect Vuex store to the Firebase real-time database, data storage, and authentication APIs and use this data later inside the application’s reactive components. Finally, we will quickly deploy our application using the Firebase hosting mechanism.

Hello, user

Hello dear reader, my name is Olga. Would you like to introduce yourself as well? Open https://pleaseintroduceyourself.xyz/ and leave a message for me and the other readers.

The page itself doesn't look like anything special. It's just a web page that allows users to write a message, and then, this message is immediately displayed along with the other users' messages in a reverse chronological order:

Hello, user

The please introduce yourself page

Do you want to know how long it took me to create this page? It took me around half an hour, and I am not only talking about writing the HTML markup or reversing the order of the messages but also about the database setup, deployment, and hosting.

You probably noticed that the very first message never changes, and it's actually my message where I wrote that I love to learn and teach. This is indeed true. That's why I will devote this chapter to teaching you how to create the exact same page in just 15 minutes. Are you ready? Let's go!
