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.

  2. In the empty <script> HTML element, create the constants of the functions that will be used using the object destructuring method, calling the createApp, defineComponent, setup, ref, onMounted, and onUnmounted methods from the Vue global constant:
const {
createApp,
defineComponent,
setup,
ref,
onMounted,
onUnmounted,
} = Vue;
  1. Create a fetchLocation function and, inside this, create a let variable named watcher. Then, create a constant named geoLocation and define it as navigator.geolocation. Next, create a constant named gpsTime and define it as the ref function, passing the Date.now() function as the argument. Finally, create a constant named coordinates and define it as the ref function, passing...
