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 RethinkDB

RethinkDB is an open-source JSON database for real-time apps. It pushes JSON data to your apps in real-time from the database whenever a change occurs in the database tables that you subscribe to their real-time feeds – changefeeds. Despite that the changefeeds lies at the heart of RethinkDB's real-time functionality, you can skip this functionality if you want to. You can use RethinkDB just like MongoDB to store and query your NoSQL database.

Even though you can use the Change Streams in MongoDB to access the real-time data changes but it requires some configuration to get it started, while the real-time feeds are ready for use by default in RethinkDB and you can tap in right away without any configuration. Let's get started by installing the RethinkDB server in your system and see how you can use it in the next section.
