ASP.NET Core and Vue.js

Overview of this book

Vue.js 3 is faster and smaller than the previous version, and TypeScript’s full support out of the box makes it a more maintainable and easier-to-use version of Vue.js. Then, there's ASP.NET Core 5, which is the fastest .NET web framework today. Together, Vue.js for the frontend and ASP.NET Core 5 for the backend make a powerful combination. This book follows a hands-on approach to implementing practical methodologies for building robust applications using ASP.NET Core 5 and Vue.js 3. The topics here are not deep dive and the book is intended for busy .NET developers who have limited time and want a quick implementation of a clean architecture with popular libraries. You’ll start by setting up your web app’s backend, guided by clean architecture, command query responsibility segregation (CQRS), mediator pattern, and Entity Framework Core 5. The book then shows you how to build the frontend application using best practices, state management with Vuex, Vuetify UI component libraries, Vuelidate for input validations, lazy loading with Vue Router, and JWT authentication. Later, you’ll focus on testing and deployment. All the tutorials in this book support Windows 10, macOS, and Linux users. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build an enterprise full-stack web app, use the most common npm packages for Vue.js and NuGet packages for ASP.NET Core, and deploy Vue.js and ASP.NET Core to Azure App Service using GitHub Actions.

Summary

Here is a summary of this chapter. You've learned that ASP.NET Core Identity is an open source identity framework in .NET that provides you with the ability to manage user authentications and accounts. It has built-in middleware that enables the application to use cookie-based authentication.

You've learned that the IdentityServer4 framework takes away the heavy lifting for implementing OAuth 2 and OpenID Connect in your ASP.NET Core application. A fair use case for IdentityServer4 is when you want a centralized authentication server that authenticates requests from different services using token-based authentication.

You've also learned that CIAM is a cloud-based identity provider that provides companies with analytics, security, and a good customer experience. It's scalable, has centralized user management, and is easy to set up single sign-on and MFA.

You have learned how to secure an ASP.NET Core 5 application using the JWT. The application...
