Vue.js 3 Cookbook

By: Heitor Ramon Ribeiro

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.

Running the Nuxt.js server

Now that you have everything set, you want to run the server and start to see what is going on. Nuxt.js comes with some pre-programmed npm scripts out of the box. You can run one of the following commands by opening Terminal (macOS or Linux) or the Command Prompt/PowerShell (Windows) and executing the following:

npm run dev – To run the server in development mode
npm run build – To build the files with webpack and minify the CSS and JS for production

npm run generate – To generate static HTML pages for each route
npm start – To start the server in production, after running the build command
