Vue.js 2 Design Patterns and Best Practices

By: Paul Halliday

Overview of this book

Vue.js 2 Design Patterns and Best Practices starts by comparing Vue.js with other frameworks and setting up the development environment for your application, and gradually moves on to writing and styling clean, maintainable, and reusable Vue.js components that can be used across your application. Further on, you'll look at common UI patterns, Vue form submission, and various modifiers such as lazy binding, number typecasting, and string trimming to create better UIs. You will also explore best practices for integrating HTTP into Vue.js applications to create an application with dynamic data. Routing is a vitally important part of any SPA, so you will focus on the vue-router and explore routing a user between multiple pages. Next, you'll also explore state management with Vuex, write testable code for your application, and create performant, server-side rendered applications with Nuxt. Toward the end, we'll look at common antipatterns to avoid, saving you from a lot of trial and error and development headaches. By the end of this book, you'll be on your way to becoming an expert Vue developer who can leverage design patterns to efficiently architect the design of your application and write clean and maintainable code.

Chapter 5. Secured Communication with Vue.js Components

You don't need to look far before noticing component-driven architecture in modern web applications nowadays. Development needs have changed in a short space of time with the web going from a simple document viewer to hosting complex applications with significantly large code bases. Therefore, the ability to create reusable components makes our lives as front-end developers much easier as we can encapsulate core functionality into singular blocks, reducing overall complexity, allowing for better separation of concerns, collaboration, and scalability.

In this chapter, we'll be taking the preceding concepts and applying them to our Vue applications. By the end of this chapter, you will have achieved:

  • The ability to create your own Vue components
  • A greater understanding of Single File Components
  • The ability to create styles specific to each component
  • The ability to register components both locally and globally, and an understanding of why to...
