Hands-On Full Stack Web Development with Aurelia

By: Diego Argüelles Rojas, Erikson Murrugarra

Overview of this book

Hands-On Full Stack Web Development with Aurelia begins with a review of basic JavaScript concepts and the structure of an Aurelia application generated with the Aurelia-CLI tool. You will learn how to create interesting and intuitive application using the Aurelia-Materialize plugin, which implements the material design approach. Once you fully configure a FIFA World Cup 2018 app, you'll start creating the initial components through TDD practices and then develop backend services to process and store all the user data. This book lets you explore the NoSQL model and implement it using one of the most popular NoSQL databases, MongoDB, with some exciting libraries to make the experience effortless. You'll also be able to add some advanced behavior to your components, from managing the lifecycle properly to using dynamic binding, field validations, and the custom service layer. You will integrate your application with Google OAuth Service and learn best practices to secure your applications. Furthermore, you'll write UI Testing scripts to create high-quality Aurelia Apps and explore the most used tools to run end-to-end tests. In the concluding chapters, you'll be able to deploy your application to the Cloud and Docker containers. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to create rich applications using best practices and modern approaches.

Summary


Your knowledge about Aurelia at this moment is just amazing! We wanted to cover every aspect regarding component creation and how you can abstract your business scenario into one digital application. You learned that each component is part of an everything, is reusable, and allows you to separate your application concerns. Since a component is an isolated piece of your application, it manages his own life cycle; Aurelia allows us to have complete control and configure events such as data loading or some custom behavior when the components is destroyed. Another very interesting thing is that we can create our own events, and we can trigger them from the view layer.

Also, you must remember that one component can inherit from other components, and they all have properties. Remember that Aurelia is a double-way binding framework, so all these properties are synchronized between the view and view model files. We also learned how to implement value-converters and some other binding behavior...
