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...

Do you want to make your web application amazingly responsive? Are you unhappy with your app's performance and looking forward to trying out ways to make your app more powerful?

You'll start by learning the basics of Vue.js and create your first web app using directives along with rich and attractive user experiences.

You will create highly efficient and performant functional components for your app. Next, you will create your own online store and optimize it. Finally, you will integrate Vue.js with the real-time Meteor library and create a dashboard showing real-time data. By the end of this book you will have enough skills and will have worked through enough examples of real Vue.js projects to create interactive professional web applications with Vue.js 2.5.

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.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
