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 anti-patterns and patterns, and we have expanded our knowledge as to not only what they are, but also when it is appropriate to use them to coincide with best practices. Not only that, we also reviewed a lot of the concepts that we learned throughout the book in this chapter, along with considering some new ideas and techniques of what can be used going forward. Reflecting on the previous chapters, we can look back and see how much ground we've covered. Practicing the techniques covered in this book will allow you to create scalable applications with Vue.js and build on what you've learned. Another important thing to remember is that web development is always evolving, the amount of practical applications for Vue continues to grow and so should you.

What next? Try new things! Build new projects, attend Vue.js meetings and conferences - find new ways of applying your skills to teach others. Not only will you have a positive impact on others, but you'll...
