Overview of this book

Vue.js is a progressive web framework for building professional user interfaces for your web applications. With Vue.js 3, the frontend framework is reinforced with architectural enhancements, new base languages, new render processes, and separated core components. The book starts with recipes for implementing Vue.js 3’s new features in your web development projects and migrating your existing Vue.js apps to the latest version. You will get up and running with TypeScript with Vue.js and find succinct solutions to common challenges and pitfalls faced in implementing components, derivatives, and animation, through to building plugins, adding state management, routing, and developing complete single-page applications (SPAs). As you advance, you'll discover recipes to help you integrate Vue.js apps with Nuxt.js in order to add server-side rendering capabilities to your SPAs. You'll then learn about the Vue.js ecosystem by exploring modern frameworks such as Quasar, Nuxt.js, Vuex, and Vuetify in your web projects. Finally, the book provides you with solutions for packaging and deploying your Vue.js apps. By the end of this Vue.js book, you'll be able to identify and solve challenges faced in building Vue.js applications and be able to adopt the Vue.js framework for frontend web projects of any scale.

The bus just left the station! The event bus API

In Vue 2, we were able to use the power of the global Vue object to create a new Vue instance, and use this instance as an event bus that could transport messages between components and functions without any hassle. We just needed to publish and subscribe to the event bus, and everything was perfect.

This was a good way to transfer data between components, but was an anti-pattern approach for the Vue framework and components. The correct way to transfer data between components in Vue is via a parent-child communication, or state management, also known as state-driven architecture.

In Vue 3, the $on, $off, and $once instance methods were removed. To use an event bus strategy now, it is recommended to use a third-party plugin or framework such as mitt (https://github.com/developit/mitt).
