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.

Automated deployment to Azure App Service using GitHub Actions

In this final section, we will deploy an ASP.NET Core 5 and Vue.js application to try an automated deployment to Azure App Service using GitHub Actions.

The ASP.NET Core 5 application will be a Web API project, while the Vue.js application will be built using TypeScript to show that we can add a TypeScript compiler to project's csproj file. We are also going to convert our Vue.js application to a PWA. If you are not yet familiar with PWAs, a PWA is a web application with mobile app features. PWAs can be installed on desktop, or mobile devices, and can be run offline.

We will use the existing ASP.NET Core and Vue app to simplify deployment to Azure using GitHub Actions. The goal here is to try deployment and focus only on GitHub Actions and the app service, which is the main topic in this chapter.

OK, so let's start:
