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.

Defining actions and mutations


It's great that our components can now get data from the store, but it would be probably even more interesting if our components were also able to change the data in the store. On the other hand, we all know that we cannot modify the store's state directly.

The state should not be touched by any of the components. However, you also remember from our chapter about the Vuex store that there are special functions that can mutate the store. They are even called mutations. These functions can do whatever they/you want with the Vuex store data. These mutations can be called using the commit method applied to the store. Under the hood, they essentially receive two parameters – the state and the value.

I will define three mutations – one for each of the timer's definitions. These mutations will update the corresponding attribute of the config object with a new value. Thus, my mutations look as follows:

//store/mutations.js
export default {
  setWorkingPomodoro (state...
