Hands-on Nuxt.js Web Development

By: Lau Tiam Kok

Overview of this book

Nuxt.js is a progressive web framework built on top of Vue.js for server-side rendering (SSR). With Nuxt.js and Vue.js, building universal and static-generated applications from scratch is now easier than ever before. This book starts with an introduction to Nuxt.js and its constituents as a universal SSR framework. You'll learn the fundamentals of Nuxt.js and find out how you can integrate it with the latest version of Vue.js. You'll then explore the Nuxt.js directory structure and set up your first Nuxt.js project using pages, views, routing, and Vue components. With the help of practical examples, you'll learn how to connect your Nuxt.js application with the backend API by exploring your Nuxt.js application’s configuration, plugins, modules, middleware, and the Vuex store. The book shows you how you can turn your Nuxt.js application into a universal or static-generated application by working with REST and GraphQL APIs over HTTP requests. Finally, you'll get to grips with security techniques using authorization, package your Nuxt.js application for testing, and deploy it to production. By the end of this web development book, you'll have developed a solid understanding of using Nuxt.js for your projects and be able to build secure, end-to-end tested, and scalable web applications with SSR, data handling, and SEO capabilities.

Introducing MongoDB

MongoDB is an open source document-oriented database management system (DBMS) that stores data in JSON-like documents called Binary JSON (BSON) – a binary representation of MongoDB's JSON-like documents that can be parsed more quickly than ordinary JSON. It is one of the most popular NoSQL database systems since 2009 that does not use tables and rows, in contrast with relational database management systems (RDBMSes). Every record of your data in MongoDB is a document composed of name-value pairs (or field and value pairs) that are similar to JSON objects but binary encoded to support data types that are outside the scope of JSON, such as ObjectId, Date, and Binary data (https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/bson-types/). Hence, it is called Binary JSON. For example, a document of {"hello":"world"} will be stored in a .bson file as follows:

1600 0000 0268 656c 6c6f 0006 0000 0077
6f72 6c64 0000

In practice, the encoded data in BSON...
