Shavin M. Learning Vue: Core Concepts and Practical Patterns for Reusable, Composable, and Scalable User Interfaces

O’Reilly Media, 2024. — 347 p. — ISBN 1492098825.Learn the core concepts of Vue.js, the modern JavaScript framework for building frontend applications and interfaces from scratch. Through concise, practical, and clear examples, this book takes web developers step-by-step through the tools and libraries in the Vue.js ecosystem and how to use them to create complete applications for real-world web projects. Author Maya Shavin explains how to create a complete application development process using a variety of tools in the Vue.js library. You'll learn how to handle data communication between components with Pinia architecture, develop a manageable routing system for a frontend project to control the application flow, and produce basic animation effects to create a better user experience.This book also shows you how to:Create reusable and lightweight component systems using Vue.js.
Bring reactivity to your existing static application.
Set up a project using Vite.js, a build tool for frontend project code management.
Build an interactive state management system for a frontend application with Pinia.
Connect external data from the server to your Vue application.
Control the application flow with static and dynamic routing using Vue Router.
Fully test your application using Vitest and Playwright.From the PrefaceThe JavaScript framework plays a significant role in modern web frontend development. When developing web projects, companies choose a framework for various reasons, including the quality of the final product, the cost of development, coding standard, and ease of development. Hence, learning to work with a JavaScript framework, such as Vue, is essential for any modern web developer (or frontend developer or full stack developer). This book is for programmers who want to learn and develop Web applications using Vue library, in JavaScript and TypeScript, from end to end. It focuses solely on how Vue and its ecosystem can help you build scalable and interactive web applications in the most straightforward and comfortable direction. While covering the basics, we will also get into Vue Router and Pinia for state management, testing, animation, deployment, and server-side rendering, making sure you are ready to move on and start developing complex Vue projects right away.This book doesn’t require you to know TypeScript, though you will be better prepared if you are familiar with TypeScript basics. You will also be better prepared for the contents of the book if you have prior basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. A solid foundation of these three is always crucial before diving to any web (or frontend) JavaScript framework.True PDF
