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.

Understanding GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions is a platform that automates software development workflows. The CI/CD pipeline is one of several workflows that you can use to automate with GitHub Actions.

GitHub Actions is a YAML-based workflow linked to getting repositories. This workflow can be triggered by webhooks or schedules, or by manually clicking a button to start a workflow.

A runner, where workflows run, comes in two forms. You have an option to use GitHub hosted or to do self-hosting. The GitHub hosted workflow provides different operating systems such as Ubuntu, macOS, or Windows, and they have pre-installed software, including several versions of .NET Core SDK.

GitHub Actions also generates logs while running. You can see the results of your build through the logs that are available in the GitHub portal.

Also, there are custom workflows available that have been built and shared by the community. Like the Azure team, some organizations have contributed and developed...
