Vue.js 2 Web Development Projects

Project 1 - Markdown Notebook

The first app we will create is a markdown notebook, using several Vue features in a step-by-step manner. We will reuse what we saw in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Vue, and add more elements on top of it, such as useful directives, events for user interaction, more instance options, and filters to process values.

Before we start writing the code, let's talk about the app and review our objectives:

  • The notebook app will allow the user to write notes in markdown
  • The markdown will be previewed in real time
  • The users will be able to add as many notes as they want
  • The notes will be restored the next time the user visits the app

To do that, we will divide the user interface into three sections:

  • A main section in the middle with the note editor
  • A right pane, which previews the markdown of the current node
  • A left pane, with the list of notes and...

A basic note editor

We will start small with a very simple markdown note app that only displays a text editor on the left and a markdown preview on the right. Then, we will turn it into a full notebook with multiple note support.

Setting up the project

For this project, we will have a few files ready to get us started:

  1. First, download simple-notebook project files and extract them in the same folder. Open the index.html file and add a div element with the notebook ID and a nested section element with the main class. You should have the following content inside the file:
      <html>
      <head>
        <title>Notebook</title>
        <!-- Icons & Stylesheets -->
        <link href=&quot...

Multiple notes

A notebook with only one note is not that useful, so let's turn it into a multiple note one. We will add a new side panel on the left with the list of notes, plus a few extra elements, such as a text field to rename the notes and a favorite toggle button.

The note list

We will now lay the groundwork for the side pane containing the list of notes:

  1. Add a new aside element with the side-bar class before the main section:
      <!-- Notebook app -->
      <div id="notebook">

        <!-- Sidebar -->
        <aside class="side-bar">
          <!-- Here will be the note list -->
        </aside>

        <!-- Main pane -->
        <section class...

Summary

In this chapter, we created our first real Vue app, with several useful functions, like a real-time markdown preview, a note list, and the local persistence of the notes. We introduced different Vue features, such as the computed properties that are automatically updated and cached as needed, the methods to reuse logic inside functions, the watchers to trigger code when properties change, lifecycle hooks to execute code when the Vue instance is created, and the filters to easily process expressions in our template. We also used a lot of Vue directives inside our template, such as ;v-model to bind form inputs, v-html to display dynamic HTML from our JavaScript properties, v-for to repeat elements and display lists, v-on (or @) to listen to events, v-bind (or :) to dynamically bind HTML attributes to JavaScript expressions or to apply CSS classes dynamically, and v-if to...

This is a very well designed tutorial-like book. It's methodologically correct, it introduces new concepts at slow pace with no unexplained forward-references. And it dives quite deeply into Vue, although it's by no means a reference. All projects (except, probably Castle game) could be a basis for your own in it's particular domain, with prod quality plugin set & opinionated tool set (like Stylus for CSS).Highly recommend this book. Real advices from real expert in this area.

I learned alot from this book and refer back to it sometimes. I'd knock it a bit for the game example, which I didn't find helpful, and the index is awful. But those are small complaints. Overall, good book.
