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.

Adding more languages to our application – Internationalization!


One of the more interesting (and useful) features for every web application is internationalization. We are developing an application for the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018, so, based on that, it would be awesome if our application supported multiple languages for all the users worldwide.

For this purpose, we will use the official aurelia-i18n plugin; this will be used to get the current app location. This plugin is based on the i18next library, with some very interesting characteristics such as those listed:

  • Translation loaders
  • Language detection
  • Product localization
  • Flexibility and scalability 

The last one is the most important feature. With scalability in mind, you can implement internationalization with just one configuration file for smaller projects, and if you need to implement it on a bigger project, just create multiple translation files and load them according to the user's need.
