Preface

Vue is one of the leading frameworks with a huge ecosystem and increasing adoption due to its ease of use when developing applications and the fact that it can help you achieve impressive results during development quickly. This book explores the latest Vue version – Vue 3.0 – and how you can leverage it effectively.

You'll learn with the help of an example-based approach, starting with exploring the basics of Vue 3 by creating a simple application and looking at features such as components, directives, and their usage. To build your knowledge and enable you to have confidence in your app-building skills, the book will show you how to test that app with Jest and Vue Test Utils. Later, you'll learn how to write non-web apps with Vue 3 and create cross-platform desktop apps with the Electron plugin. You'll also learn how to create a multi-purpose mobile app with Vue and Ionic. As you progress, you'll learn how to develop web apps with Vue 3 that interact well with GraphQL APIs. Finally, you'll build a real-time chat app that performs real-time communication using Vue 3 and Laravel.

By the end of this book, you'll have developed the real-world skills you need by working through a range of app-building projects using Vue 3.
