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.

Summary

To summarize this chapter, we have covered that entities represent domain models in an application, and we write entities in the domain layer of the application.

We've also covered EF Core, which helps developers persist and query data from the database without using SQL queries through an O/RM.

We've learned that DbContext of Entity Framework is an interface of the database and has DbSet representing a table in the database.

And lastly, we've written two controllers with DbContext and tested them by sending HTTP requests through Swagger UI.

You now have the skills to handle any HTTP requests sent by any client-side applications and process and save them in any type of relational database using EF Core.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to write maintainable and testable code using CQRS, or Command and Query Responsibility Segregation. So, see you later.
