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

You have learned that CQRS separates commands, which are requests that mutate or write data, and queries, which are requests to read data. You also learned how CQRS helps you to write slimmer controllers.

You have also learned that the Mediator design pattern acts like an air traffic controller between commands/queries and the handlers. You learned the implementation of a mediator pattern that you can use in .NET, the MediatR NuGet package, a time saver because you don't need to implement it yourself, and using Mediator makes your code cleaner and more maintainable.

You also have seen drawbacks of using CQRS, including writing extra code, but the additional code means implementing CQRS to make cleaner and more maintainable code.

In the next chapter, we will apply the CQRS pattern and the mediator pattern and use the MediatR NuGet package in ASP.NET Core 5 to build a highly scalable and maintainable Web API.
