Chapter 1, Please Introduce Yourself, covers a tutorial that implements a "Hello, I am <name>" page. It uses Vue.js, combined with Bootstrap, for the basic form and Firebase for basic storage.

Chapter 2, Under the Hood - Tutorial Explained, explains the technologies used in the first chapter—Vue.js, Bootstrap, and Firebase. Not only does it cover each framework or service but it also explains how these tools can work together.

Chapter 3, Let's Get Started, describes what is going to be implemented during the course of the book. It describes the application and its requirements. It contains some user stories and defines the functionality of the application.

Chapter 4, Let It Pomodoro!, covers the bootstrapping phase of the Vue.js application using the Webpack loader. It adds the basic functionality to the Pomodoro timer. It also explains how to use Bootstrap's grid along with basic Vue.js directives.

Chapter 5, Configuring Your Pomodoro, enriches the application with configuration and personalization. It also covers data storage and retrieval mechanisms using the Firebase database and the Vuex state management architecture. It covers the usage of Bootstrap modals and forms along with the component system of Vue.js.

Chapter 6, Please Authenticate!, adds the authentication based on the Firebase auth API to the application. On the visualization layer, it explains how to build forms powered by Bootstrap.

Chapter 7, Adding a Menu and Routing Functionality Using vue-router and Nuxt.js, explains how to embed the navigation menu into the application using Bootstrap's elements and a routing functionality with the Vue router. It also describes how to use nuxt.js in order to achieve server-side rendering, code splitting, and routing in Vue applications.

Chapter 8, Let's Collaborate – Adding New Workouts Using Firebase Data Storage and Vue.js, adds collaborative content to the application. Again, it uses Bootstrap-powered forms, Vue.js to add reactivity to these forms, and Firebase to store the collaborative content.

Chapter 9, Test Test and Test, describes how to add unit and end-to-end tests to the Vue.js application.

Chapter 10, Deploying Using Firebase, covers the process of deployment of the application using the Firebase hosting solution.

The requirements for this book are as follows:

This book is for web developers or for someone who wants to become one. You will build a full-stack web application from scratch until its deployment. Even if you are an experienced programmer, you will probably find something new for yourself. If you are working with Vue.js, you will find out how to connect a Vue.js application to the Google Firebase backend. If you work with Bootstrap, you will learn how nicely it plays along with a Vue.js application. If you already work with Vue.js, Bootstrap, and Firebase, you will find out how to leverage the power of these three things to easily build complex applications. If you already use these technologies together, you will have fun building yet another application during the course of this book.

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: " Now run npm install inside the newly created directory "

A block of code is set as follows:

//LandingPage.vue
export default {
  components: {
    Logo,
    Authentication,
    GoToAppLink,
    Tagline
  }
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

//LandingPage.vue
export default {
  components: {
    Logo,
    Authentication,
GoToAppLink,
    Tagline
  }
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

# npm install sass-loader node-sass --save-dev

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Clicking the Next button moves you to the next screen."
