In order for you to follow this book easily, I have to make some assumptions regarding some pre-existing knowledge on your end. Here's a checklist of the basic requirements you need in order to get the most out of this book:

• You have used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript before and are comfortable creating basic web applications.
• You are familiar with console.log statements and the general debugging of web apps in a browser such as Chrome.
• Basic knowledge of Terminal commands. You should know how to navigate folders with the cd command at the very least.
• You understand basic concepts of Vue, such as state, reactivity, interpolation, computed properties, and methods. Make sure that you take a look at the Essentials part of the official guide for reference: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/.

In the first chapter of this book, we will go over how to set up your project with an easy-to-follow step list.

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Let's get started with the installation of the v-mask library."

A block of code is set as follows:

<input 
 type="text"
 v-model="form.telephone"
 v-mask="'(###)###-####'"
>

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

> npm install v-mask

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Go back to the first tab, Response & Body."
