By: Heitor Ramon Ribeiro

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.

Developing a desktop application (Electron)

To develop an SSR, we first need to inform Quasar that we want to add a new mode of development. Open Terminal (macOS or Linux) or the Command Prompt/PowerShell (Windows) and execute the following command:

> quasar mode add electron

Quasar-CLI will create a folder called src-electron, which will have an Electron project inside.

The folder structure for Electron projects looks like this:

src-electron/
├── icons/
├── main-process/
├── electron-flag.d.ts

Inside the icons folder, you will find the icons that electron-packager will use when building your project. In the main-process folder will be your main Electron files, spliced into two files: one that will only be called on development and another that will be called on development and production.
