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.

Understanding where to deploy

You will see workflow templates later, with which you don't have to start writing your workflow file from scratch. You can deploy to Azure, AWS, GCP, IBM Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, OpenShift, and more.

We will focus on Azure since we are using C# and .NET Core. Here are the most common services in Azure:

  • Azure App Service
  • Azure Functions
  • Azure Static Web Apps
  • Azure Kubernetes Service

Let's find out what these are and their use cases.

When to deploy to Azure App Service?

Consider using Azure App Service if you encounter the following:

  • When you have a web app from any programming languages and frameworks, or ASP.NET Razor pages, ASP.NET MVC, or an ASP.NET Web API, or even server-side Blazor
  • When you want to deploy a dedicated high-performance application or a scalable application
  • When you want more control over an environment and configuration without getting a whole virtual machine or an entire operating...
