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.

Adding a tour list using Axios and Vuex

The Create or Add functionality would be the third easiest thing to implement in CRUD. Fetching and deleting functionalities is easy because they don't require a form component and some input fields. To create a functionality that adds or makes new data, we have to build a form.

Before building a form for the UI, we will first develop functionality in Axios and Vuex that creates a tour list.

To start, let's update services.js in store/tour by adding the following code:

export async function postTourListAxios(tourList) {
  return await api.post("TourLists", tourList);
}

The preceding code is a service that sends a POST request to the backend to create a tourList data entry.

Now, let's update types.js of the store/tour directory.

export const ADD_TOUR_LIST = "ADD_TOUR_LIST";

We are adding a new action type in the preceding code. The latest action type is for adding new tourList.
