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.

Using modifiers

Vue provides these three modifiers, .lazy, .number, and .trim, that we can use with v-model to change the default events or to add extra functionality to the form input. Let's dive in.

Adding .lazy

We can use .lazy with v-model to change the input event to a change event on the <input> and <textarea> elements. See the following example:

// src/components/modifiers.vue
<input v-model.lazy="form.name" type="text">

Now the input with the data is synced after change, instead of the input event, which is the default.

Adding .number

We can use .number with v-model to change the default typecast of string to number on <input> elements with type="number". See the following example:

// src/components/modifiers.vue
<input v-model.number="form.age" type="number">

Now you get number for typeof this.form.age instead of string without having .number.

Adding .trim

We can use .trim with v-model to trim...
