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.

Why is testing important?


Our ProFitOro application works just fine, doesn't it? We have opened it so many times in the browser, we have checked all the implemented features, so it just works, right? Yes, that's true. Now go to your settings page and try to change the values of the timer to something strange. Try it with negative values, try it with huge values, try it with strings, and try it with empty values…do you think that can be called a nice user experience?

You wouldn't like to work during this number of minutes, would you?

Have you tried to create a strange workout? Have you tried to introduce a huge workout name at its creation and see how it displays? There are thousands of corner cases and all of them should be carefully tested. We want our application to be maintainable, reliable, and something that offers an amazing user experience.
