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.

Installing and configuring VS Code, Visual Studio 2019, VS for Mac, and Rider

This section will guide you in installing and configuring the IDE or text editor of your choice. Here is a quick breakdown of what you can use depending on your machine or operating system.

VS Code

Download the VS Code installer by going to https://code.visualstudio.com/download. I would suggest installing VS Code regardless of your machine's OS because this is the ideal text editor that I recommend when writing JavaScript applications.

The editor has built-in support for TypeScript, IntelliSense, formatting, code navigation, and has tons of extensions that you can use. Add the following basic VS extensions after installing VS Code:

  • Code Spell Check: This is a spelling checker for source code, which helps you avoid bugs caused by typo errors.
  • Prettier: This is a code formatter, which reformats the code of your file on each save.
  • Vetur: This extension gives VS Code features such...
