Full-Stack Web Development with Vue.js and Node

Overview of this book

Isomorphic JavaScript was the buzzword of the year 2017, allowing developers to utilize a single language throughout their web development stack and build cost-effective and scalable applications. MEVN is a one such modern web development stack consisting of web applications such as MongoDB, Express.js, Vue.js, and Node.js. Hands-On Full-Stack Web Development with Vue.js 2 and Node.js leverages the harmony of these technologies to help you create full-stack web applications. Starting with the core frameworks, this example-based guide explains all the key concepts of frameworks, how to set them up properly, and how to use popular modules to connect them together and make them work cohesively. You will learn all this with the help of real-world examples. In addition to this, you will be able to scaffold web application architecture, add an authentication layer, and develop the MVC structure to support the development of your application. You'll explore how to create data models for your applications and then write REST APIs by exposing your data model to your application. Solely orientated towards building a full, end-to-end application using the MEVN stack, this book will help you understand how your application development grows.

We will be using the following folder structure:

There are two folders inside the test folder. One for unit testing, called unit, and another for end-to-end testing, called e2e. We will start by writing the unit tests, which go under the unit directory. The naming convention is appending the .spec part to the filename for every file we will be writing tests for.

Writing tests for controllers

Let's get started with writing tests for the controllers we added. Create a folder called controllers inside the test/unit/specs and create a new file inside it called movies.spec.js. This will...
