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.

Summary


Definitely this was a very extensive chapter. We recommend to have a second read in the topics you consider more important, also as be said before, remember that if you want a complete understanding of each feature explained, you must research and do proof of concept to get the best option and experience. Due to the nature of our application, the FIFA World Cup is a worldwide event, so you need to make it available for all countries, i18n help us a lot to deal with internationalization with a very easy implementation. If you need to share properties or trigger events between your components, EventAggregator is the best choice. Aurelia offers a very usable variety of binding behaviors, making your code more clean, understandable and maintainable. Value converters, validators, computed properties are just a few binding behaviors that allows developer to reduce code. Remember that many of these features have dependence on third party libraries, so don't forget to download them and configure...
