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


You are now just one step away from getting the maximum knowledge about full-stack applications and all the stuff it concerns. As we said earlier, one of the most important parts, and the one that makes the difference between just a programmer and a full-stack application developer, is testing. This chapter was meant to be easily understandable and highly applicable in your day-to-day work, giving you the most modern concepts and tools used in application testing.

You need to remember that integration tests are the assurance process of all components working well together, such third-party systems, external databases, and asynchronous processes. Depending on which platform you use, you will have a complete ecosystem to accomplish this and get the best value from your application. The best part is that you can automate all the tests at this layer and make your deployment process safer. One thing you cannot test using script is the usability of the application. You will need real humans...
