ASP.NET Core and Vue.js

Overview of this book

Vue.js 3 is faster and smaller than the previous version, and TypeScript’s full support out of the box makes it a more maintainable and easier-to-use version of Vue.js. Then, there's ASP.NET Core 5, which is the fastest .NET web framework today. Together, Vue.js for the frontend and ASP.NET Core 5 for the backend make a powerful combination. This book follows a hands-on approach to implementing practical methodologies for building robust applications using ASP.NET Core 5 and Vue.js 3. The topics here are not deep dive and the book is intended for busy .NET developers who have limited time and want a quick implementation of a clean architecture with popular libraries. You’ll start by setting up your web app’s backend, guided by clean architecture, command query responsibility segregation (CQRS), mediator pattern, and Entity Framework Core 5. The book then shows you how to build the frontend application using best practices, state management with Vuex, Vuetify UI component libraries, Vuelidate for input validations, lazy loading with Vue Router, and JWT authentication. Later, you’ll focus on testing and deployment. All the tutorials in this book support Windows 10, macOS, and Linux users. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build an enterprise full-stack web app, use the most common npm packages for Vue.js and NuGet packages for ASP.NET Core, and deploy Vue.js and ASP.NET Core to Azure App Service using GitHub Actions.

Setting up state management using Vuex

Vuex is the official state management library for Vue.js that is widely used for managing complex components. Vuex has a reactive global store and is reasonably easy to set up. I will explain the parts of the Vuex implementation as we write the code.

But before we start building our store, let's remove the authorization from the API controller so that we don't need an auth token when sending requests to the api/v1.o/ endpoints.

To do that, go to the ApiController.cs file in the namespace Travel.WebApi.Controllers.v1 of the Travel.WebApi project and comment the Authorize attribute like so:

// [Authorize]

After commenting the Authorize attribute, we can now use api/v1.0/ temporarily.

Let's start by setting up the update part of the Vuex.

Step 1 – Writing a store

Create a folder named tour inside the store folder. It will be like this: src | store | tour.

Step 2 – Writing a module

Create a JavaScript...
