Learn Cycle, Nwjs and Vue

Ever built a website? Did it have more than one page?

If it did, you learned quickly how essential routing is to the success of your project. And in so many frameworks routing is a painful and complex thing to learn.

But not in Vue!

Vue has an incredibly clean and powerful library called vue-router that takes care of everything you could need.

In this course, we'll cover what you need to know to get started with vue-router.

Vue (pronounced /vjuː/, like view) is a progressive framework for building user interfaces. Unlike other monolithic frameworks, Vue is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable. The core library is focused on the view layer only, and is very easy to pick up and integrate with other libraries or existing projects. On the other hand, Vue is also perfectly capable of powering sophisticated Single-Page Applications when used in combination with modern tooling and supporting libraries.

A Journey with Vue-Router

Modern applications know how to keep users informed of realtime updates through notifications, popups, and other messages.

On the development side, the ability to not only create web apps but have them communicate in realtime is a quirky, standout skill for your resume. It’s interesting, useful, and powerful.

In this course, Mark Barton will show you how to use Socket.io to facilitate bi-directional client-server communication and notifications using Vue on the frontend. Socket.io is a JS library that connects a client-side library to a node.js server. In the course, you’ll see how to use Socket.io to broadcast simultaneously to all or targeted clients based on filters you set up — so the right people see the right message at the right time.

You’ll learn to set up and connect Socket.io with node.js and Vue, and you’ll get practice making informed, complex architectural decisions around realtime broadcast messaging.

Vue and Socket.io for Real-Time Communication

***Note: RxJS imports have changed since the publication of this course, these changes to RxJS have been reflected in the code examples underneath each lesson. The concepts being taught on RxJS are still applicable.***

Vue.js is an amazing framework that can easily update and reflect user input using templates and data-binding. But there are many scenarios where complex asynchronous behaviors (like loading data, handling "pending" states, timeouts, etc) are solved much easier by leveraging the streaming capabilities of RxJS. This course covers how to setup and use the features of "vue-rx" to enable streams within your templates and easily solve complex scenarios.

Build Async Vue.js Apps with RxJS

Progressive Web Apps are just Web pages, but with superpowers.  They load under uncertain network conditions, even offline. They’re fast and engaging, providing the best user experience. They can be installed on your smartphone if the browser supports it, feeling like a native app.

In this course I’m gonna show you how to take an existing Single Page App made in Vue.js and pragmatically convert it to a Progressive Web App by creating a web manifest, then it goes through caching static assets, external resources and streams using service workers, applying code-splitting and lazy loading, notifying new versions of the app or wether is online or offline, understanding the preload and precache directives, finishing up by showing how to audit a Progressive Web App.

Offline-First Progressive Web Apps (PWA) in Vue.js

Vue is known for being super easy to pick up and quickly build great applications using the built-in template bindings and directives. As your application grows in complexity, you'll need finer control of your components.

In this course, we’ll define where content of a component should land when you define the content inside of a parent component with Vue slots and manage that relationship with slot-scope. We’ll continue with dynamic and async Vue components as well as use JSX inside Vue for complete JavaScript control of your components. 

This course provides an overview of Advanced Vue.js Components with quick demonstrations on how to leverage Vue Component patterns.

Advanced Fine-Grained Control of Vue.js Components

In [Use TypeScript to Develop Vue.js Web Applications](https://egghead.io/courses/use-typescript-to-develop-vue-js-web-applications) we’ve seen how TypeScript Vue apps development by creating class based components and using decorators.

This course will extend it, showing you how you can use Vuex with TypeScript in order to manage the state of your Vue app. We’ll see how to type-safe your store, organize the state in modules, modify it using mutations and actions and write Vuex plugins, all by creating a beer shop app throughout the course.

This course walks you through the steps of creating a News web app using Vue.js and the Nuxt framework. You will learn how to create dynamic pages for each section of your application and load, store, display, filter, and style the data. Then end result will be a News app with multiple category pages, comments for each section, and user pages.

TypeScript is a powerful JavaScript superset which brings you first-class static type-checking along with latest ECMA Script features. Vue is one of the most modern libraries for managing the view layer.

Angular has fully adopted TypeScript as its language, and React has broad support for it. But, what about Vue?

This course will show how to take full advantage of TypeScript static typing on Vue apps by using class based components, typing directives and using decorators.

Use TypeScript to Develop Vue.js Web Applications

Vue.js has a first-class ecosystem to help construct Vue.js apps. This includes Nuxt.js which enables server-rendered applications and a page-based approach. 

This course will start with an empty app and walk through how to use Vue.js for building the app, Nuxt.js for organizing the app, and Vuex for managing state.

Cycle.js is a framework where your app is described as a simple function taking an event stream as input and outputting an event stream. 

Cycle.js builds on functional and reactive streams and is a JavaScript framework. What does that mean? In the course, André Staltz, the creator of Cycle.js, will explain it to us.

We'll start this course with an empty project and build out our own toy version of Cycle.js to understand exactly what's going on under the hood. When we have a solid base of how Cycle.js works we will move on to use the Cycle.js API and build an app using the Model-View-Intent pattern.

Cycle.js Fundamentals

Vue is a "progressive framework for building user interfaces." Its core library is designed to be fast and flexible and is only focused on the view layer.

In this course, you'll gain a basic understanding on how to construct components and nested components and see how Vue reactively keeps the DOM up to date when data is changed. You should get a taste of what Vue has to offer and gain a better understanding of how you can use it for your own application development.

HTML has a few elements with semantic meaning. While they can be a bit subjective as to when you should use them, you should avoid using them as names for your Vue components.

MDX is an authorable format that lets you seamlessly write JSX in your Markdown documents. You can import components, such as interactive charts or alerts, and embed them within your content. This makes writing long-form content with components a blast 🚀

Introduction to MDX

Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications.

In this lesson we connect a Vue application to our Socket Server.  

We use the pulse from the previous lesson to display a graph using the Vuetify framework and then demonstrate 2 clients showing the graph changing in sync.

Connect a Vue.js Component to a Socket.io server

Creating cross-platform web-based applications with Ionic 4 and Vue is easy thanks to the Stencil compiler and the Vue.js CLI.

We look at how to combine these together to use Ionic 4 components within our Vue.js applications.

Using a HTTP POST to trigger a message which is broadcast to all connected clients via Socket.io.  The message is displayed within a Vue component, which in this case is a [Vuetify snackbar](https://vuetifyjs.com/en/components/snackbars) component. 

As part of the lesson we demonstrate transmitting an object so we can dynamically change the snackbar color, as well as the message itself.

An example where this approach might be used is where you want a server monitoring system call a web hook on your server when there is an issue, this in turn pushes a message to connected clients, simultaneously and in real time.

Display a broadcast message using a Vuetify snackbar component which is sent via Socket.io

Often we need to send data to specific users or groups of users using Socket.io, but by default Socket.io only provides a unique volatile ID so this lesson will demonstrate how we can map on the Server a known User with that Socket ID.

The lesson will build a new Vue component which will allow a User to select their name and group and then send this information from the client to the server using the Socket.

This lesson will also use SessionStorage to store this information so if the browser is refreshed then the component will be auto populated and the details sent to the server.

Mapping a Socket.io id to a known User using an example Vue component.

In this lesson we create a Quiz Vue component which displays a random image.

The random image is read from the Server filesystem and sent over the socket to each of the connected clients.  The clients use the Quiz component to display the image in a modal window and then select an answer.  The answer is then sent back to the server over the socket.

Sending an Image from Express to a Vue Component using Socket.io

Building on the previous lesson this lesson will build a Vue component for composing a message to send to a specific user or group of users.

The lesson will not use HTTP for communication between Server and Client and Client to Server but instead use Socket.io to demonstrate bi-directional real time communication.

Once the payload has been received at the server the targeted User or Group will be identified and Socket.io will then emit the payload to them.  The clients will then use the previous lessons PopupMessage component to display the message.
