Components, Mixins, and Functional Components

Building a Vue application is like putting a puzzle together. Each piece of the puzzle is a component, and each piece has a slot to fill.

Components play a big part in Vue development. In Vue, each part of your code will be a component – it could be a layout, a page, a container, or a button, but ultimately, it's a component. Learning how to interact with them and reuse them is the key to cleaning up code and performance in your Vue application. Components are the code that will, in the end, render something on the screen, whatever its size might be.

In this chapter, we will learn about how to make a visual component that can be reused in many places. We'll use slots to place data inside our components, create functional components for seriously fast rendering, implement direct communication between parent and child...

Key benefits

Build a fully functional Vue.js web app and learn how it integrates with GraphQL

Transform your chat application into a Progressive Web Application (PWA) for web deployment

Discover practical recipes, exploring the capabilities of the GraphQL API for full-stack development using Quasar Framework

Description

Since its release by Facebook in 2012, GraphQL has taken the internet by storm. Huge companies such as Airbnb and Audi have started to adopt it, while small to medium-sized companies are now recognizing the potential of this query-based API. GraphQL may seem strange at first, but as you start to read about and experience more of it, you won’t want to use REST APIs anymore. With the recipes in this book, you will learn how to build a complete real-time chat app from scratch. Starting by creating an AWS Amplify environment, you will delve into developing your first GraphQL Schema. You will then learn how to add the AppSync GraphQL client and create your first GraphQL mutation. The book also helps you to discover the simplicity and data fetching capabilities of GraphQL that make it easy for front-end developers to communicate with the server. You will later understand how to use Quasar Framework to create application components and layouts. Finally, you will find out how to create Vuex modules in your application to manage the app state, fetch data using the GraphQL client, and deploy your application to the web. By the end of this book, you’ll be well versed in proof-of-concept full-stack applications that explore the power of GraphQL with AWS Amplify, and you'll be able to use Quasar Framework to create your Vue applications.
