Description

Nuxt.js is a progressive web framework built on top of Vue.js for server-side rendering (SSR). With Nuxt.js and Vue.js, building universal and static-generated applications from scratch is now easier than ever before. This book starts with an introduction to Nuxt.js and its constituents as a universal SSR framework. You'll learn the fundamentals of Nuxt.js and find out how you can integrate it with the latest version of Vue.js. You'll then explore the Nuxt.js directory structure and set up your first Nuxt.js project using pages, views, routing, and Vue components. With the help of practical examples, you'll learn how to connect your Nuxt.js application with the backend API by exploring your Nuxt.js application’s configuration, plugins, modules, middleware, and the Vuex store. The book shows you how you can turn your Nuxt.js application into a universal or static-generated application by working with REST and GraphQL APIs over HTTP requests. Finally, you'll get to grips with security techniques using authorization, package your Nuxt.js application for testing, and deploy it to production. By the end of this web development book, you'll have developed a solid understanding of using Nuxt.js for your projects and be able to build secure, end-to-end tested, and scalable web applications with SSR, data handling, and SEO capabilities.

This is one of the most detailed and well explained books that I have read so far. First of all, congratulations to the author.This book is about developing a complete range of different web applications with the use of Nuxt and Vue.js. When I refer to a complete range, we talk about SPA, Universal SSR, and static-generated applications (terms that I didn't understand very well, before reading this book).There are some important elements that I really liked and enjoyed of this book:- The author makes an excellent job explaining almost everything. The book provides excellent introductions to all the topics covered. Just a quick example, in Chapter 01 it explains the differences between the types of applications, SSR, SPA, and Universal SSR. In Chapter 12 (login), it explains what is a session, what is a cookie, what are tokens, and so on. Other books go directly to the code (assuming you already know many concepts), but that is not the case with this book.- For me, this is a book that all front-end developers should read, to get a big picture of the different tools and possibilities that you have when creating web applications. To understand the different types of applications, their advantages, disadvantages, and when to use them.- Examples in the GitHub repo worked properly. Examples are simple and provide a proper picture of each topic. However, there is a lack of design styles. So, you will get ugly user interfaces (but you can improve them with the use of a CSS framework such as bootstrap) not a big deal.- The book covers many interesting topics such as, (i) vue essentials (vue files, components, plugins, vuex, and vue-router, among others), (ii) middlewares (to create backend and front-end applications and connect them), (iii) nuxt elements (routes, pages, views, configs, and many more), and (iv) others (such as authentication, logins, database management with mongodb, testing, linters, and graphql, among others).Final notes:- I really recommend to have a little experience working with vue.js. The author presents a lot of examples with vanilla vue.js. However, I suggest playing around with vue.js, and then read this book.- I also recommend having some experience with web development. Because there are many different topics which can be a little overwhelming. But again, the author makes an excellent job explaining each topic.

90% of the code doesn't work. I provided some corrections early on and was contacted by packt (as a complete beginner) with a request from the author to further correct the book.I dont think the author actually knows anything about the nuxt framwork.
