By: Ajdin Imsirovic

Overview of this book

The sprawling landscape of various tools in JavaScript web development is becoming overwhelming. This book will show you how Vue CLI 3 can help you take back control of the tool chain. To that end, we'll begin by configuring webpack, utilizing HMR, and using single-file .vue components. We'll also use SCSS, ECMAScript, and TypeScript. We'll unit test with Jest and perform E2E testing with Cypress. This book will show you how to configure Vue CLI as your default way of building Vue projects. You'll discover the reasons behind using webpack, babel, eslint, and other modern JavaScript toolchain technologies. You'll learn about the inner workings of each through the lens of Vue CLI 3. We'll explore the extendibility of Vue CLI with the built-in settings, and various core and third-party plugins. Vue CLI helps you work with Vue components, routers, directives, and services in the Vue ecosystem. While learning these concepts, you'll examine the evolution of JavaScript. You'll learn about use of npm, IIFEs, modules in JavaScript, Common.js modules, task runners, npm scripts, module bundlers, and webpack. You'll get familiar with the reasons why Vue CLI 3 is set up the way it is. You'll also learn to perform linting with ESLint and Prettier. Towards the end, we'll introduce you to working with styles and SCSS. Finally, we'll show you how to deploy your very own Vue project on Github Pages.

Registering a new GitHub account

We have installed GitHub Desktop. We also know enough about Git to be able to understand the rest of this chapter. Now we'll register for a GitHub account.

Navigate to https://github.com and sign up for a new account. Make sure to check your email and confirm the registration.

Once you've signed up and logged in, you'll see an interface like this:

This is the place where our remote GitHub repository will live. To add to our remote repository, we need to push our changes there. The remote repository is referred to as origin/master.

Luckily, we have GitHub Desktop installed, and using it is the simplest way possible to interact with GitHub. You can easily create new repositories, update existing ones, add branches, and push to the remote, all from GitHub Desktop.

We already have the chapter8 Vue project, with one commit added to it...
