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.

At this point, we are really sure that you know how to plan and develop, and now we will add some cool features to make our application more interesting and scalable. Maybe you were thinking about how to share some properties or trigger events across all the components, or make your application understandable for people from different countries speaking different languages. Well, internationalization is a great concept that you are going to meet in this chapter. What if you need to perform operations to convert dates, numbers, or currency? Well, these kinds of situations (and so much more) are very common in a real application, so you need to be prepared to deal with it. You know what? We have good news! Aurelia is prepared with a great solution for every case (and so much more too!). In this chapter, you will learn the following topics:
