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.

Summary


In this chapter, you learned how to use the real-time Firebase database with the Vue application. You learned how to use Vuexfire and its methods to correctly bind our Vuex store state to the database reference. We were not only able to read and render the data from the database but we were also able to update it. So, in this chapter, we saw Vuex, Firebase, and Vuexfire in action. I guess we should be proud of ourselves.

However, let's not forget that we have used a hardcoded user ID in order to get the user's data. Also, we had to expose our database to the world by changing the security rules, which doesn't seem right either. It seems that it's time to enable the authentication mechanism!

And we will do it in the next chapter! In the next chapter, we are going to learn how to set up the authentication mechanism using the Firebase authentication framework. We will learn how to use it in our application using Vuefire (Firebase bindings for Vue: https://github.com/vuejs/vuefire). We...
