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.

How it works...

The Vue plugin works by adding all the code that was instructed to be used to the Vue application layer (like a mixin).

When we used Vue.use() to import our plugin, we told Vue to call the install() function on the object of the imported file and executed it. Vue will automatically pass the current Vue as the first argument, and the options (if you declare them) as the second argument.

In our plugin, when the install() function is called, we first create baseOptions, merging the default options with the passed parameter, then we inject two new properties into the Vue prototype. Those properties are now available everywhere because the Vue parameter that was passed is the Vue global being used in the application.

Our generateStorageObject is a pure abstraction of the Storage API of the browser. We use it as a generator for our prototypes inside the plugin.
