In this chapter, we will build our fourth app. We will cover new topics, such as:
- Managing the state of the app in a centralized store using the official Vuex library
- Using the Google OAuth API to connect our users to the app
- Integrating Google Maps to our app with the vue-googlemaps third-party library
- Rendering functions and JSX
- Functional components--making lighter and faster components
The app will be a Geolocated Blog that will mainly display a big map where the user will add blog posts. Here are the main features of the app:
- A login page will ask the user to authenticate using their Google account
- The main view will be a Google map embeded in the app, with a marker for each post
- Clicking on the markers will display the content in a side panel to the right, with the description of the location, the post, a like counter, and a list of comments...
