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 added basic routing to our application using different tools. First, we learned how to use vue-router to achieve routing functionality and then we used the Nuxt.js template to build a brand new application using old components and styles. We have used the concept of pages offered by Nuxt vue in order to achieve the same routing functionality as with vue-router and have transformed our ProFitOro application into a Nuxt application in an easy and unobtrusive way. We have significantly reduced the amount of code and learned something new. Total winners!

In this chapter we have also used Bootstrap's navbar to display our navigation routes in a nice and responsive way, and learned that even with the most drastic refactoring, the functionality and responsiveness stays with us when we use the Bootstrap approach. Once again – great success!

Our application is almost fully functional, however, it still lacks its main functionality – workouts. For now, during the Pomodoro...
