Learning Vue.js 2

By: Olga Filipova

Overview of this book

Vue.js is one of the latest new frameworks to have piqued the interest of web developers due to its reactivity, reusable components, and ease of use. This book shows developers how to leverage its features to build high-performing, reactive web interfaces with Vue.js. From the initial structuring to full deployment, this book provides step-by-step guidance to developing an interactive web interface from scratch with Vue.js. You will start by building a simple application in Vue.js which will let you observe its features in action. Delving into more complex concepts, you will learn about reactive data binding, reusable components, plugins, filters, and state management with Vuex. This book will also teach you how to bring reactivity to an existing static application using Vue.js. By the time you finish this book you will have built, tested, and deployed a complete reactive application in Vue.js from scratch.

Scaffolding our applications


Do you remember the two applications that we started to work on in the first chapter, the shopping list application and the Pomodoro one? In this section, we will scaffold these applications using the vue-cli tool in order for them to be ready to contain reusable components, be tested, and be deployed. Once we bootstrap these applications, we will work on them until the end of this book. So let's do it carefully and with lots of love!

Scaffolding the shopping list application

We will scaffold the shopping list application using vue-cli Webpack configuration.

Tip

In case you have ignored all previous practical exercises related to vue-cli, do not forget to install it before proceeding to the next steps: npm install -g vue-cli

If you already have vue-cli installed, go to the directory where you want to bootstrap the application and run the following:

vue init webpack shopping-list

Answer yes to all the questions (just click enter) and voilà! You have the application...
