Vue – The Complete Guide (w/ Router, Vuex, Composition API)

No matter at which metric you look at (Google Trends, Github Stars, Tweets …) – VueJS is the shooting star in the world of JavaScript frameworks – it simply is amazing!

This bestselling course teaches the latest version of Vue (Vue.js 3) from the ground up and in great detail. We’ll cover all the core basics but we’ll not stop thereafter – this course also dives into advanced concepts like the Composition API introduced with Vue 3.

Frontend frameworks like Vue JS are extremely popular because they give us this reactive, great user experience we know from mobile apps – but now in the browser! No wonder that jobs requiring frontend framework skills like VueJS are amongst the best paid ones in the industry!

You may know Angular 2+ and ReactJS, well, VueJS combines the best of both frameworks and makes building anything from small widgets to big, enterprise-level apps a breeze and a whole lot of fun!

And if you don’t know the two mentioned frameworks: That’s fine, too, this course does not expect any knowledge of any other frontend framework – you will learn it all throughout this Course!

This course covers it all!

We’ll start at the very basics, what Vue.js is and how it works before we move on to more complex and advanced topics but I’ll be honest: It’s too much to fit it all into one sentence, so here’s what you’ll learn in this Course:

• What is VueJS and Why would you use it?

• The Basics (including the basic Syntax, Understanding Templates and much more!)

• How to Output Reactive Data & Listen to Events

• Interacting with DOM (Rendering Lists, Conditionally attaching/ detaching Elements …)

• Setting up a Development Environment and Workflow

• Using Components (and what Components are to begin with)

• A Deep Dive Look Behind the Scenes of Vue

• Binding to Form Inputs

• Sending Http Requests to Backend APIs

• Authentication & Vue

• How to make your App more Beautiful with Animations and Transitions

• How to create an awesome Single-Page-Application (SPA) with Routing

• How to improve State Management by using Vuex

• How to Deploy the App

• And much more …

All these topics are taught with real examples and demo projects. This course is full of exercises, challenges and bigger courser projects that allow you to practice what you learned.

Along with many other smaller projects, we will build a couple of bigger main projects:

• The “Monster Slayer” Game – a game running in the browser, 100% powered by Vue

• The “Learning Resource Manager” – a web app that allows you to manage (add, delete, list) your favorite learning resources

• The “Find a Coach” app – a web app that allows you to sign up / login, register as a coach, list and filter available coaches and send messages to coaches

At the moment, this course includes both my brand-new Vue 3 course as well as my old Vue 2 course (the section marked as “VUE2”). The Vue 2 course will removed later this year.

Is this course for you?

Now that you know what this course is about, let’s see if this course is for you!

Here are three types of students who will love this course:

Has some JavaScript experience and is interested in what this language can do. You heard and read that JavaScript allows you to create nice web applications and enhance existing web pages. VueJS is your choice!

Student #2:

You already have some experience with other frontend frameworks like Angular (2+) or ReactJS. But either due to interest or disappointment of the existing frameworks, you seek some alternatives – VueJS might be what you were looking for!
