Vue.js 2 and Bootstrap 4 Web Development

Overview of this book

In this book, we will build a full stack web application right from scratch up to its deployment. We will start by building a small introduction application and then proceed to the creation of a fully functional, dynamic responsive web application called ProFitOro. In this application, we will build a Pomodoro timer combined with office workouts. Besides the Pomodoro timer and ProFitOro workouts will enable authentication and collaborative content management. We will explore topics such as Vue reactive data binding, reusable components, routing, and Vuex store along with its state, actions, mutations, and getters. We will create Vue applications using both webpack and Nuxt.js templates while exploring cool hot Nuxt.js features such as code splitting and server-side rendering. We will use Jest to test this application, and we will even revive some trigonometry from our secondary school! While developing the app, you will go through the new grid system of Bootstrap 4 along with Vue.js’ directives. We will connect Vuex store to the Firebase real-time database, data storage, and authentication APIs and use this data later inside the application’s reactive components. Finally, we will quickly deploy our application using the Firebase hosting mechanism.

The questionnaires usually include questions about the user's personal data, such as age, sex and so on. There should also be questions about the user's usage patterns—operating system, desktop or mobile, and so on. And of course, there should be questions about the application itself. For example, for the ProFitOro application, we could ask the following questions:

  • How many hours per day do you spend in the office?

  • For how long do you sit in the office during your working day?

  • How often do you do sport activities such as jogging, fitness workouts, and so on?

  • Do you work from the office or from home?

  • Is there any area in your work place where you could do push-ups?

  • Do you have problems with your back?

After all questionnaires are collected, the users are divided into categories by similar patterns and personal data. After...
