Vue.js 2 Cookbook

Getting Started with Vue.js

In this chapter the following recipes will be covered:

  • Writing Hello World with Vue.js
  • Writing lists
  • Creating a dynamic and animated list
  • Reacting to events such as clicks and keystrokes
  • Choosing a development environment
  • Formatting your text with filters
  • Debugging your application with mustaches (for example, a JSON filter)
  • X-raying your application with Vue developer tools
  • Upgrading to Vue.js 2

Introduction

Vue is a very powerful framework but one of its strengths is that it is very lightweight and easy to pick up. As a matter of fact, in the first recipe you will build a simple but functioning program in minutes, with no setup required.

In this chapter, you will learn lists which will help you create web pages where an element is repeated (like a catalog). Furthermore, you will build an interactive page with event listeners.

Some development environments are presented so you can choose the one that suits you better; you will use some debugging tricks that will give you a head start when developing your own code and better insight to kill bugs in your apps.

Please note that, at the time of writing, ES5 is the most well supported standard for JavaScript in browsers. In this chapter, I will use ES5 so you can follow along even if your browser does not support the newer ES6. Remember though that in following chapters ES6 will be used. By now, Chrome is compatible with most ES6 important constructs, but in general you should use Babel to make your app compatible with older browsers. Refer to the recipe How to use Babel to compile from ES6 in Chapter 8, Organize + Automate + Deploy = Webpack, when you are ready to use Babel.

Writing Hello World with Vue.js

Let's create the simplest possible program in Vue.js, the obligatory Hello World program. The objective here is to get our feet wet with how Vue manipulates your webpage and how data binding works.

Getting Ready

To complete this introductory recipe, we will only need the browser. That is, we will use JSFiddle to write our code:

If you have never used JSFiddle, don't worry; you are about to become an expert frontend developer and using JSFiddle will become a handy tool in your pocket:

  1. Head your browser to https://jsfiddle.net:

You will be presented with a blank page divided into quadrants. The bottom-left is where we will write our JavaScript code. Going clockwise, we have an HTML section, a CSS section, and finally our preview of the resulting page.

Before beginning, we should tell JSFiddle that we want to use the Vue library.

  1. In the top-right part of the JavaScript quadrant, press the cogwheel and select Vue 2.2.1 from the list (you should find more than one version, "edge" refers to the latest version and at the time of writing corresponds to Vue 2).

We are now ready to write our first Vue program.

How to do it...

  1. In the JavaScript section, write:
        new Vue({el:'#app'})
  1. In the HTML quadrant, we create the <div>:
        <div id="app">
          {{'Hello ' + 'world'}}
        </div>
  1. Click the Run button in the upper-left corner; we see the page greeting us with Hello world:

How it works...

new Vue({el:'#app'}) will instantiate a new Vue instance. It accepts an options object as a parameter. This object is central in Vue, and defines and controls data and behavior. It contains all the information needed to create Vue instances and components. In our case, we only specified the el option which accepts a selector or an element as an argument. The #app parameter is a selector that will return the element in the page with app as the identifier. For example, in a page like this:

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
  <body> 
    <div id="app"></div> 
  </body> 
</html>

Everything that we will write inside the <div> with the ID as app will be under the scope of Vue.

Now, JSFiddle takes everything we write in the HTML quadrant and wraps it in body tags. This means that if we just need to write the <div> in the HTML quadrant, JSFiddle will take care of wrapping it in the body tags.

It's also important to note that placing the #app on the body or html tag will throw an error, as Vue advises us to mount our apps on normal elements, and its the same thing goes for selecting the body in the el option.

The mustaches (or handlebars) are a way to tell Vue to take everything inside them and parse it as code. The quotes are a normal way to declare a literal string in JavaScript, so Vue just returns the string concatenation of hello and world. Nothing fancy, we just concatenated two strings and displayed the result.

There's more

We can leverage that to do something more interesting. If we were aliens and we wanted to greet more than one world at a time, we could write:

We conquered 5 planets.<br/> 
{{'Hello ' + 5 + ' worlds'}}

We may lose track of how many worlds we conquer. No problem, we can do math inside the mustaches. Also, let's put Hello and worlds outside brackets:

We conquered {{5 + 2}} planets.<br/> 
Hello {{5 + 2}} worlds

Having the number of worlds as raw numbers inside the mustaches is just messy. We are going to use data binding to put it inside a named variable inside our instance:

<div id="app"> 
  We conquered {{countWorlds}} planets.<br/> 
  Hello {{countWorlds}} worlds 
</div>

new Vue({ 
  el:'#app', 
  data: { 
    countWorlds: 5 + 2 
  } 
})

This is how tidy applications are done. Now, every time we conquer a planet, we have to edit only the countWorlds variable. In turn, every time we modify this variable, the HTML will be automatically updated.

Congratulations, you completed your first step into the Vue world and are now able to build simple interactive applications with reactive data-binding and string interpolation.

Received PDF version, took a couple days to read and I can say that it was well worth the read and approach of explanation of the MVC nature of Vue and how to get started knowledge was solid. Being a React.js develop myself I endorse this book and recommend it to anyone interested in getting into Vue as it is an exciting and newer JS framework. It was a great read and thank you for the copy.

Da ich schon erste Erfahrungen mit Vue hatte, habe ich das Buch eigentlich als schnelles Nachschlagewerk für Problemfälle gekauft.Das Buch erfüllt erwartungsgemäß dann auch die Anforderungen an ein "Kochbuch": Passendes Rezept suchen, und bisher habe ich weitgehend alles gefunden, was ich gesucht habe, und anwenden. Mit der festen Struktur und den Unterabschnitten zu jedem Rezept fällt die Orientierung leicht, vom "nur abtipppen wollen" bis zur detaillierten Erklärung und dem immer interessanten "Thers's more..."-Abschnitt.Übertroffen hat das Buch meine Erwartungen, da die Kapitelstruktur sogar zum Einarbeiten in Themenbereiche, und nicht nur Einzelrezepte, ermöglicht. Deshalb klare Kaufempfehlung für alle, die auch abseits vom Computer mal etwas lesen möchten.
