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.

Setting up and running Redis

Redis officially supports Linux and macOS but not Windows because the engineers who wrote Redis use BSD Unix. The Windows port was written by some volunteer developers called the Microsoft Open Tech group.

Let's install Redis on Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu. The following are the steps, depending on your OS.

For Windows users

  1. Go to https://github.com/microsoftarchive/redis/releases/tag/win-3.0.504 to download the installer of Redis for Windows:

    Figure 10.2 – Redis MSI installer and ZIP file

  2. Download and extract the Redis ZIP. Double-click the redis-server file. Allow the permission dialog box that will pop up by accepting Yes. The Redis instance will automatically start.

    To check whether the installation is complete, run the following command in your terminal:

    redis-cli ping

    redis-cli is the CLI for Redis functionalities. You should see a pong response from the terminal.

The following is another way to install Redis by using...
