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.

Updating a user's profile


Wouldn't it be funny if we could welcome our user by displaying a welcome message saying something like Welcome Olga? But our users do not have names; they only have emails and passwords – two essential authentication components that are passed during the sign-up process. So, how can we do that? Well, if you have read with some attention the Firebase documentation regarding authentication (https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/manage-users), you might have spotted these nice methods:

Firebase methods for updating a user's profile and email address

Let's use these methods to update our user's profile and user's profile picture!

We will define three new actions – one that will update the user's display name by calling the Firebase updateProfile method, one that will update the user's profile picture's URL by calling the same method, and another one that will call the updateEmail method. Then we will create the necessary markup in the Settings.vue component that will...
