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.

Summary


In this chapter, we applied the very basic principles of designing an application's user interface. We brainstormed, defined our personas and wrote user stories, retrieved nouns and verbs from these stories, and ended up with some nice mockups for our application.

In the next chapter, we will start implementing our ProFitOro. We will use Vue.js to scaffold the application and split it into important components. Thus, in the next chapter we will do the following:

  • Scaffold the ProFitOro application using vue-cli with the webpack template

  • Split the application into the components and create all the necessary components for the application

  • Implement a basic Pomodoro timer using Vue.js and Bootstrap
