Overview of this book

With its huge ecosystem and wide adoption, Vue is one of the leading frameworks thanks to its ease of use when developing applications. However, it can get challenging for aspiring Vue.js developers to make sense of the ecosystem and build meaningful applications. This book will help you understand how you can leverage Vue effectively to develop impressive apps quickly using its latest version – Vue 3.0. The book takes an example-based approach to help you get to grips with the basics of Vue 3 and create a simple application by exploring features such as components and directives. You'll then enhance your app building skills by learning how to test the app with Jest and Vue Test Utils. As you advance, you'll understand how to write non-web apps with Vue 3, create cross-platform desktop apps with the Electron plugin, and build a multi-purpose mobile app with Vue and Ionic. You'll also be able to develop web apps with Vue 3 that interact well with GraphQL APIs. Finally, you'll build a chat app that performs real-time communication using Vue 3 and Laravel. By the end of this Vue.js book, you'll have developed the skills you need to build real-world apps using Vue 3 by working through a range of projects.

Summary

With Ionic Vue, we can create mobile apps easily with Vue 3. It makes use of the composition API, TypeScript, and Vue Router, along with the components provided by Ionic, to create good-looking apps that can work as web or mobile apps. It also comes with all the tools required to preview the app in a device or emulator and build it into an app package that we can deploy to app stores.

With the Composition API, we can add the logic like we can with the Vue Options API, but we can add them all with functions instead of referencing them. Ionic Vue also makes TypeScript the default language of components. This lets us prevent type errors at compile time to reduce the chance of type errors happening at runtime. This is a convenience feature that reduces frustration with JavaScript development. We made use of interfaces, union and intersection types, and type aliases to define types for objects.

In the next chapter, we will look at how to build a travel booking app with PrimeVue...
