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...

Each Vue component is a JavaScript object that has a render function. This render function is called when it is time to render it in the HTML DOM. A single file component is an abstraction of this object.

When we are declaring that our component has unique props that can be passed, it opens a tiny door for other components or JavaScript to place information inside our component. We are then able to use those values inside our component to render data, do some calculations, or make visual rules.

In our case, using the single file component, we are passing those rules as HTML attributes because vue-template-compiler will take those attributes and transform them into JavaScript objects.

When those values are passed to our component, Vue first checks whether the passed attribute matches the correct type, and then we execute our validation function on top of each value to see whether it matches what we'd expect.

After all of this is done, the component life cycle continues...
