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.

Storing images using the Firebase data storage


Firebase cloud storage allows you to upload and retrieve different content (files, videos, images, and so on). In a very similar way, Firebase provides a way of accessing and managing your database, where you can access and manage your storage buckets. You can upload Blobs, strings in Base64, file objects, and so on.

First of all, you should tell your Firebase application that you are going to use Google cloud storage. Thus, you need to add a storageBucket attribute to your application configuration object. Check your application's settings on the Google Firebase console and copy the storageBucket reference to the firebase/index.js file:

// Initialize Firebase
import firebase from 'firebase'
//...
let config = {
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  databaseURL: 'https://profitoro-ad0f0.firebaseio.com',
  authDomain: 'profitoro-ad0f0.firebaseapp.com',
  storageBucket: 'gs://profitoro-ad0f0.appspot.com'
}
//...

Now your firebase application knows what storage...
