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 7. Adding a Menu and Routing Functionality Using vue-router and Nuxt.js

In the previous chapter, we added a very important feature to our application – authentication. Now, our users are able to register, log in to the application, and manage their resources once they are logged in. So, now they can manage the configuration of the Pomodoro timer and their account's settings. They also have access to their statistics data once they are logged in. We have learned how to use Firebase's authentication API and connect the Vue application to it. I must say, the previous chapter has been extensive in learning and a very backend oriented chapter. I enjoyed it a lot and I hope you enjoyed it as well.

Despite having this complex feature of authentication and authorization, our application still lacks navigation. For simplicity reasons, we are currently displaying all the application's parts on the main page. This is… ugly:

Admit it, this is ugly

In this chapter, we are not going to make things...
