Hands-On Full Stack Web Development with Aurelia

By: Diego Argüelles Rojas, Erikson Murrugarra

Overview of this book

Hands-On Full Stack Web Development with Aurelia begins with a review of basic JavaScript concepts and the structure of an Aurelia application generated with the Aurelia-CLI tool. You will learn how to create interesting and intuitive application using the Aurelia-Materialize plugin, which implements the material design approach. Once you fully configure a FIFA World Cup 2018 app, you'll start creating the initial components through TDD practices and then develop backend services to process and store all the user data. This book lets you explore the NoSQL model and implement it using one of the most popular NoSQL databases, MongoDB, with some exciting libraries to make the experience effortless. You'll also be able to add some advanced behavior to your components, from managing the lifecycle properly to using dynamic binding, field validations, and the custom service layer. You will integrate your application with Google OAuth Service and learn best practices to secure your applications. Furthermore, you'll write UI Testing scripts to create high-quality Aurelia Apps and explore the most used tools to run end-to-end tests. In the concluding chapters, you'll be able to deploy your application to the Cloud and Docker containers. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to create rich applications using best practices and modern approaches.

Coding our project


Here we are! We will implement the code of our project. Our application is composed of three domains:

  • Teams: To manage the information of all the teams that participate in the World Cup competition
  • Matches: To manage the information of all the Matches during the competition
  • Security: To manage the information of the users and permissions

The teams and matches follow the same implementation with a few variants. For that reason, in this section, we will write the code to implement the Team domain and then expose it via our API, and you will be able to implement the code for the Match domains yourself. Of course, the complete source code is available in the https://github.com/Packt-Aurelia-Fullstack-Book/worldcup-app GitHub repository.

So, having said that. Let's start!

Our project structure

Let's start by creating the Project structure for our source code. Create the following directories and files in your working directory, as shown in the following screenshot:
