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.

How it works...

Each mutation is a function that will be called as a commit, and will have an identifier in the Vuex store. This identifier is the mutation key in the exported JavaScript object. In this recipe, we created a file that holds all the identifiers as an object value so that it can be used as a constant inside our code.

This pattern helps us in the development of Vuex actions, which need to know each mutation name.

When exporting the mutation JavaScript object, we use the constant as the key and the corresponding function as its value, so the Vuex store can execute the correct function when called.
