Overview of this book

Isomorphic JavaScript was the buzzword of the year 2017, allowing developers to utilize a single language throughout their web development stack and build cost-effective and scalable applications. MEVN is a one such modern web development stack consisting of web applications such as MongoDB, Express.js, Vue.js, and Node.js. Hands-On Full-Stack Web Development with Vue.js 2 and Node.js leverages the harmony of these technologies to help you create full-stack web applications. Starting with the core frameworks, this example-based guide explains all the key concepts of frameworks, how to set them up properly, and how to use popular modules to connect them together and make them work cohesively. You will learn all this with the help of real-world examples. In addition to this, you will be able to scaffold web application architecture, add an authentication layer, and develop the MVC structure to support the development of your application. You'll explore how to create data models for your applications and then write REST APIs by exposing your data model to your application. Solely orientated towards building a full, end-to-end application using the MEVN stack, this book will help you understand how your application development grows.

Introduction to MVC

The MVC model is essential when building applications regardless of any programming languages. The MVC architecture makes it easy to organize our application's structure and separate out logic parts and view parts. We can incorporate this MVC structure at any time, even if we have completed half of our application. The best time to implement it is at the start of any application.

As the name suggests, there are three parts to it:

  • Model: All of the application's business logic resides under these models. These deal with the database. They handle all the logic parts of the application.
  • View: Everything that the browser renders—what users see—is handled by these view files. It deals with whatever we send to the client.
  • Controller: Controllers basically connect these models and views. It is responsible to take the logical calculations...
