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.

Files and folders generated by the Vue CLI

The Vue CLI has generated the files and folders needed to get started with our Vue.js development. Let's look at each of these in turn:

  • node_modules folder: This folder contains the libraries downloaded from the npm.
  • public folder: This folder contains the HTML file and favicon. You will only see one HTML file in the public folder, hence the term single-page application.
  • src folder: This folder is the directory where we will write business logic, create Vue file components, and JavaScript or TypeScript files.
  • .browserlistrc: This file is a tool for describing the app's target browsers.
  • .eslintrc.js: This file is a configuration tool for ESLint.
  • .gitignore: This file is used for not committing directories or files in Git. An excellent example of a directory that must be ignored is node_modules. The file size of node_modules is large but can always be retrieved in the project by running npm install in the...
