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.

Understanding xUnit

xUnit is an open source modern testing framework for .NET written by the author of NUnit v2, a unit-testing framework for all .NET languages. xUnit is the first testing framework that is compatible with .NET Core.

xUnit is the default testing tool in Visual Studio for .NET Core and is currently being used by Microsoft themselves in their modern projects.

Features of xUnit

Let's check out the features of xUnit, as follows:

  • Supports multiple platforms: You can use it for testing .NET Framework applications, Xamarin applications, .NET Core applications, and ASP.NET Core applications.
  • Supports parallel test execution: It speeds up the execution of unit tests.
  • Supports data-driven tests: You can write one test and then pass different data inputs to see different expected outputs.
  • It is designed to be extensible: You can add more data types, attributes, and asserts, and also use xUnit alongside other testing frameworks.
  • Easy to install...
