Overview of this book

Vue.js is a frontend web framework which makes it easy to do just about anything, from displaying data up to creating full-blown web apps, and has become a leading tool for web developers. This book puts Vue.js into a real-world context, guiding you through example projects that helps you build Vue.js applications from scratch. With this book, you will learn how to use Vue.js by creating three Single Page web applications. Throughout this book, we will cover the usage of Vue, for building web interfaces, Vuex, an official Vue plugin which makes caching and storing data easier, and Vue-router, a plugin for creating routes and URLs for your application. Starting with a JSON dataset, the first part of the book covers Vue objects and how to utilize each one. This will be covered by exploring different ways of displaying data from a JSON dataset. We will then move on to manipulating the data with filters and search and creating dynamic values. Next, you will see how easy it is to integrate remote data into an application by learning how to use the Dropbox API to display your Dropbox contents in an application In the final section, you will see how to build a product catalog and dynamic shopping cart using the Vue-router, giving you the building blocks of an e-commerce store.

Displaying product information

With our product loading, filtering, and error-catching in place, we can proceed with displaying the information we need for our product. Each product could contain one or many images, and one or many variations and any combination in-between – so we need to make sure we cater for each of these scenarios.

To see the data available to us, add a console.log(product) just before the return:

product() {
let product;

if(Object.keys(this.$store.state.products).length) {
product = this.$store.state.products[this.$route.params.slug];
if(!product) {
this.productNotFound = true;
}
}

console.log(product);
return product;
}

Open up the JavaScript console and inspect the object that should now be there. Familiarize yourself with the keys and values available to you. Take note that the images key is an array and the variations an object...
