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 have done a lot of things. We have implemented the main functionality of our Pomodoro timer, and now it is fully functional, configurable, usable, and responsive. We bootstrapped our ProFitOro application, separated it into components, created a skeleton for each of the defined components, and fully implemented one of them. We even revisited some trigonometry, because math is everywhere. We implemented our timer and we made it work, even on the hidden and inactive tabs. We made the application responsive and adaptive to different device sizes using the powerful Bootstrap layout classes. Our application is functional, but it is far from beautiful. Don't mind these shades of gray though; let's stick to them for now. In the end of the book, you will get your beautiful ProFitOro styles, I promise you!

We are ready to continue our journey in the world of technology. In the next chapter, we will learn how to configure our Pomodoro and how to store the configuration and...
