Book Description

Isomorphic JavaScript was the buzzword of the year 2017, allowing developers to utilize a single language throughout their web development stack and build cost-effective and scalable applications. MEVN is a one such modern web development stack consisting of web applications such as MongoDB, Express.js, Vue.js, and Node.js. Hands-On Full-Stack Web Development with Vue.js 2 and Node.js leverages the harmony of these technologies to help you create full-stack web applications.

Starting with the core frameworks, this example-based guide explains all the key concepts of frameworks, how to set them up properly, and how to use popular modules to connect them together and make them work cohesively. You will learn all this with the help of real-world examples. In addition to this, you will be able to scaffold web application architecture, add an authentication layer, and develop the MVC structure to support the development of your application. You'll explore how to create data models for your applications and then write REST APIs by exposing your data model to your application.

Solely orientated towards building a full, end-to-end application using the MEVN stack, this book will help you understand how your application development grows.

What you will learn

• Build an application with Express.js

• Create schemas using Mongoose

• Develop a single-page application using Vue.js and Express.js

• Create RESTful APIs using Express.js

• Add test cases to improve the reliability of the application

• Learn how to deploy apps on Heroku using GitHub

Who this book is for

If you are a web or a full-stack JavaScript developer, and have tried your hand at traditional stacks such as LAMP, MEAN or MERN, or wish to explore a new stack with modern web technologies, then this book is for you. Prior knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript would be an added advantage.
