Hands-on Nuxt.js Web Development

By: Lau Tiam Kok

Overview of this book

Nuxt.js is a progressive web framework built on top of Vue.js for server-side rendering (SSR). With Nuxt.js and Vue.js, building universal and static-generated applications from scratch is now easier than ever before. This book starts with an introduction to Nuxt.js and its constituents as a universal SSR framework. You'll learn the fundamentals of Nuxt.js and find out how you can integrate it with the latest version of Vue.js. You'll then explore the Nuxt.js directory structure and set up your first Nuxt.js project using pages, views, routing, and Vue components. With the help of practical examples, you'll learn how to connect your Nuxt.js application with the backend API by exploring your Nuxt.js application’s configuration, plugins, modules, middleware, and the Vuex store. The book shows you how you can turn your Nuxt.js application into a universal or static-generated application by working with REST and GraphQL APIs over HTTP requests. Finally, you'll get to grips with security techniques using authorization, package your Nuxt.js application for testing, and deploy it to production. By the end of this web development book, you'll have developed a solid understanding of using Nuxt.js for your projects and be able to build secure, end-to-end tested, and scalable web applications with SSR, data handling, and SEO capabilities.

Summary

In this chapter, you have installed Foundation as the main UI framework in your Nuxt project and used Foundation's grid system, JavaScript utilities, and plugins to create a simple grid layout, form, and navigation. You have used Motion UI from Foundation to create Sass animations and transitions and Foundation Icon Fonts 3, also from Foundation, for adding common and useful icons to your HTML page. You have installed Less as the styling preprocessor and created some variables in the Less style sheet.

You have installed jQuery UI, adding its Accordion widget to your app, and created an animation using its easing effects. You have installed AOS and used it to animate your elements into the viewport when scrolling the page down or up. Lastly, you have installed Swiper for creating a simple image slide. Last but not least, you have learned how to install these frameworks and libraries globally through the Nuxt config file or just using them locally on specific pages individually...
