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.

Introducing ASP.NET Core

ASP.NET Core is an open source web app framework from Microsoft built to be fast, performant, and to work across platforms such as Windows, macOS, and Linux, for building modern cloud services and internet-connected apps. You can use the cross-platform VS Code to build your applications without installing virtualization software such as Parallels or VMware. You only need to install another instance of VS Code on another operating system, git clone your repository, install .NET Core SDK, and continue writing code.

The benefits that developers can get from smaller application surface areas brought by ASP.NET Core's framework structure are tighter security, improved performance, and reduced serving.

However, before we discuss what's new in ASP.NET Core 5, we must first know what .NET 5 is.
