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.

Summary

In this chapter, you have learned how to install MongoDB on your local machine, and you have used some basic MongoDB queries for CRUD operations on the MongoDB Shell. You also learned how to install and use the MongoDB driver to connect to MongoDB from the server-side framework, and you have written the code to perform CRUD operations in the Koa environment. Finally, you have created the front pages from the client side, Nuxt, for adding new users to the MongoDB database, and for updating and deleting existing users by communicating with the API that you have developed with Koa.

In the next chapter, we will explore the Vuex store and use it in Nuxt apps. You will learn about the Vuex architecture before installing it and writing a simple Vuex store in a Vue app. You will also learn about the Vuex core concepts, including the state, getters, actions, and modules, before writing a Vuex store in a Nuxt app with these concepts. We will guide you through them, so stay tuned.
