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.

Common features in a Vue component

In this section, we will use some of the common features in a Vue component while building our Todo app. There are many directives (custom HTML attributes), events, and interfaces that we can use in Vue.js, but most of them are rarely used, which you'll tend to forget over time. So, in this quick demo of the Vue.js Todo app, we will only use the most common events, directives, and APIs of a Vue component.

So let's get started.

Writing local states in a Vue component

Since we are using TypeScript in this project, the first thing that I usually do is write the models that I will need in the app. So let's create a folder inside the src directory and name it models. Then, create a TypeScript file inside the models folder (src | models | todoModel.ts) and add the following code:

export type TodoType = {
  id: string;
  done: boolean;
  content: string;
};
// OR
export interface TodoModel {
