Overview of this book

Vue.js is a progressive web framework for building professional user interfaces for your web applications. With Vue.js 3, the frontend framework is reinforced with architectural enhancements, new base languages, new render processes, and separated core components. The book starts with recipes for implementing Vue.js 3’s new features in your web development projects and migrating your existing Vue.js apps to the latest version. You will get up and running with TypeScript with Vue.js and find succinct solutions to common challenges and pitfalls faced in implementing components, derivatives, and animation, through to building plugins, adding state management, routing, and developing complete single-page applications (SPAs). As you advance, you'll discover recipes to help you integrate Vue.js apps with Nuxt.js in order to add server-side rendering capabilities to your SPAs. You'll then learn about the Vue.js ecosystem by exploring modern frameworks such as Quasar, Nuxt.js, Vuex, and Vuetify in your web projects. Finally, the book provides you with solutions for packaging and deploying your Vue.js apps. By the end of this Vue.js book, you'll be able to identify and solve challenges faced in building Vue.js applications and be able to adopt the Vue.js framework for frontend web projects of any scale.

How it works...

The new Vue component creation API needs to be executed by a function, defineComponent, and the JavaScript object that is passed as an argument maintains almost the same structure as the old structure in Vue 2. In the examples, we used the same properties, data, render, methods, and template, all present in Vue 2.

In the example with the <template> structure, we didn't have to create a wrapper element to encapsulate the content of our application component and were able to have two root elements on the component directly.

In the render function example, the same behavior occurs, but the final example used the new exposed h API, where it is no longer a parameter of the render function. A breaking change was present in the example; in the button creation, we had to use the onClick property inside the data JavaScript object, not the on property, with the click method. This happens because of the new data structure of the VNode of Vue 3.
