Vue.js 2 Design Patterns and Best Practices

By: Paul Halliday

Overview of this book

Vue.js 2 Design Patterns and Best Practices starts by comparing Vue.js with other frameworks and setting up the development environment for your application, and gradually moves on to writing and styling clean, maintainable, and reusable Vue.js components that can be used across your application. Further on, you'll look at common UI patterns, Vue form submission, and various modifiers such as lazy binding, number typecasting, and string trimming to create better UIs. You will also explore best practices for integrating HTTP into Vue.js applications to create an application with dynamic data. Routing is a vitally important part of any SPA, so you will focus on the vue-router and explore routing a user between multiple pages. Next, you'll also explore state management with Vuex, write testable code for your application, and create performant, server-side rendered applications with Nuxt. Toward the end, we'll look at common antipatterns to avoid, saving you from a lot of trial and error and development headaches. By the end of this book, you'll be on your way to becoming an expert Vue developer who can leverage design patterns to efficiently architect the design of your application and write clean and maintainable code.

Summary


In this chapter, we looked at how we can set up our development environment and how Vue is being used in many products throughout the industry. We've learned that Vue is a simple, yet powerful frontend development framework. As well as this, we've considered how Vue shapes up when compared to other popular projects, such as Angular and React. We've also looked at how Vue works with other technologies, such as NativeScript, to create cross-platform native mobile applications. Finally, we've investigated SSR at a high level and set the stage for chapters to come. Hopefully, by now you're convinced that Vue is worth learning, and you're looking forward to taking advantage of all it has to offer!

In the next chapter, we'll be looking at the Vue CLI and how to take advantage of tools such as Webpack to create our Vue projects. As well as this, we'll look at how to take advantage of static types and tooling with TypeScript and reactive observable patterns with RxJS within Vue.
