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.

Structuring a clean architecture solution

This section is that part where we will create a solution, directories, and projects to build a clean architecture solution for the application. The application is about travel lists and places worldwide where an admin can add new, delete, update, and read places from the travel destination list.

Before we begin, open up your terminal and navigate to your desktop. Make sure your terminal or command line is in the Desktop directory.

For Windows users, use PowerShell or the Git Bash terminal. The Git Bash terminal is part of the Git version control installer you used in Chapter 2, Setting Up a Development Environment. If you are going to use PowerShell, remember to use a backslash instead of a forward slash:

  1. Let's start with the folder of the solution by running the following command:
    mkdir Travel

    This command creates a folder named Travel.

  2. The next step is to go inside the Travel folder:
    cd Travel

    Your terminal should be inside...
