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.

Using a third-party UI component library

What is a UI component library? It is merely a library that offers sets of ready-made UI components such as date pickers, forms, cards, navigations, buttons – you name it. Most UI components that you will need in an application are available in a mature UI component library.

What are the benefits of using a third-party UI component library, whether it is open source, free, or paid, that has premium support from the UI component library vendor? The following are the benefits that a UI component library can give you:

  • Saves time: If creating a robust date picker with a ton of configuration, fewer bugs, and with cross-browser support will take you weeks to finish, using a third-party UI component library is a no-brainer – a UI component library that you can import and try a date picker of the UI component library in less than 4 minutes.
  • Save money: Since a UI component library saves you countless hours, it saves your...
