Vue.js 2 and Bootstrap 4 Web Development

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.

Chapter 3. Let's Get Started

In the previous chapter, we discussed the three main technologies that we will use throughout this book to build our application. We explored a lot about Vue.js; we introduced some of the functionalities of Bootstrap, and we checked what we can achieve using the Google Firebase console. We know how to start an application from scratch using Vue.js. We know how to make it beautiful with the help of Bootstrap, and we know how to use Google Firebase to deploy it to live! What does that mean? It means that we are 100 percent ready to start developing our application!

Coding an application is a fun, challenging, and exciting process... only if we know what we are going to code, right? In order to know what we will code, we have to define the concept of the application, its requirements, and its target users. In this book, we will not go through the whole process of design building as for this, you have plenty of other books, because it's a big science.
