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 Vuex for authentication

The first section of this chapter is all about creating another module in our Vuex state management, which will be for our app's auth module. This section will also help you learn how to add a new module to our Vuex store. This module will require new action types, new actions, a new state, and new mutations.

Before we start implementing this new module for our auth, we will need help from the the jsonwebtoken npm library. So, let's download the jsonwebtoken library.

Run the following npm command:

npm i jsonwebtoken

The preceding command will install the jsonwebtoken package in our application.

Then, create a new folder in the src directory and name it auth.

Now, create a JavaScript file called auth.service.js inside the auth directory. Add the following code to the auth.service.js file:

import api from "@/api/api-v1-config";
export async function loginUserAxios(login) {
  return await api.post(&quot...
