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.

Setting up a Firebase project


I hope that you still remember how to set up Firebase projects from the first chapters of this book. Open your Firebase console at https://console.firebase.google.com, click on the Add project button, name it, and choose your country. The Firebase project is ready. Wasn't that easy? Let's now prepare our database. The following data will be stored in it:

  • Configuration: The configuration of our Pomodoro timer values

  • Statistics: Statistical data of the Pomodoro usage

Each of these objects will be accessible via a special key that will correspond to a user's ID; this is because, in the next chapter, we are going to implement an authentication mechanism.

The configuration object will contain values – workingPomodoro, longBreak and shortBreak – that are already familiar to us.

Let's add a configuration object to our database with some fake data:

{
  "configuration": {
    "test": {
      "workingPomodoro": 25,
      "shortBreak": 5,
      "longBreak": 10
    }
  }
}

You...
