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.

Chapter 4: Applying Clean Architecture to an ASP.NET Core Solution

With the previous chapter still fresh in your memory, this is the chapter where you will apply clean architecture to an ASP.NET Core 5 solution. This chapter teaches you the real-world organization of files, folders, projects, and ASP.NET Core app dependencies, preparing you for future big and scalable ASP.NET Core 5 enterprise applications.

Organizing your code, files, and folders helps other developers to understand your code, refactor it, and add future features, something that happens most of the time in a real-world application.

We will cover the following topics:

  • Introducing clean architecture
  • The core layer
  • The infrastructure layer
  • The presentation layer
  • Managing the Tests folder
  • Structuring a clean architecture solution
