Learn Gulp, Nuxt and Sequelize

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.

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.

In this series we will take a look at Gulp. Gulp is a task runner. It is the commander of our army of helper robots that take critical, yet totally mundane, tasks and perform them hundreds of times per day so we don't have to. When we sit down to work, we want to enter a single command, and then spend the rest of our day writing code, testing, and basically not thinking about how it is all glued together in the background.

Automation is critical to any project of significant size. We will start with the Eggly Bookmarks application, and develop proper build automation that will include **production ready** tools that you can start using in your applications today!

AngularJS is an open-source JavaScript framework, maintained by Google, that assists with running single-page applications. Its goal is to augment web-based applications with model–view–controller (MVC) capability, in an effort to make both development and testing easier.

Angular Automation with Gulp

In this video you'll learn how to deploy a static Nuxt site to AWS's global edge CDN in less than two minutes. We'll start from scratch, creating a new Nuxt site using npx and walk through the build configuration to set up the deployment target for Jamstack / static site hosting. From there, we'll initialize a new Amplify project using the Amplify CLI and walk through the settings to configure the proper build command for Amplify hosting. Finally, we'll deploy and view the live site. Once we're finished, we'll delete the project and the hosting service.

Deploying a Nuxt Site to AWS with the Amplify CLI

In this video you'll learn how to use Amplify hosting to deploy a Nuxt site from a Git repository. We'll begin by walking through the steps of creating the deployment and configuring the correct build settings to enable a static build. Once the site is deployed, we'll view the live site hosted on AWS.

In this lesson, we are going to learn how to create a config file to store common values so that we can reuse them multiple times in our `gulpfile.js`. As our `gulpfile.js` grows in complexity, we may find that we are introducing complex and multiple file path references. By creating a `gulp.config.js` file, we can simplify these references and make it easier to refactor and extend in the future. 

Angular Automation: Gulp Config

In this lesson, we are going to learn how to use `gulp.watch` to detect local file changes and execute additional Gulp tasks. To illustrate this concept, we are also going to hook up `gulp-jshint` to automation lint our JavaScript as we make changes to our code.

Before each page loads, Nuxt supports pre-fetching data to render what you need on the server. This lesson walks you through using Nuxt's `fetch` to load data then save it in the Vuex store.

Angular projects require automation. Period.

Angular Automation: Introduction to Gulp

In this lesson, we are going to learn how to copy assets from one place to another using Gulp. This is important as you start to prepare your source files to be deployed into production. We will learn how to implement `gulp.src`, `gulp.pipe` and `gulp.dest` as well as the **del** plugin as we copy our files from the source directory into a build directory.

In this lesson, we are going to learn how to use the `gulp-inject` plugin to sanely and efficiently manage our file references with our HTML. Manually declaring JavaScript references will quickly get out of hand as your application grows in size and complexity. The `gulp-inject` plugin solves this problem by taking a stream of files, converting them into string references and then injecting those references into your HTML via annotations.

In this lesson, we are going to learn how to automatically serve our project via an HTTP server using `gulp-serve`. Being able to serve our project from an HTTP server allows us to bypass a myriad of development issues such as loading remote source files.

Angular Automation: Gulp Serve

In this lesson, we will learn how tasks work in Gulp. We will talk about how to define a task and what each parameter in the definition does. We will see how task dependencies work and talk about how to handle asynchronous issues using `run-sequence`.

Angular Automation: Gulp Tasks

The Vue-CLI helps you to quickly and easily setup new Vue projects. Nuxt.js is a library that helps you build server-rendered Vue.js applications. This lesson shows you how to use the nuxt/starter template with the Vue-CLI to quickly start a new project.

Setup a "Hello World" Server-Rendered Vue.js Application with the Vue-CLI and Nuxt

Most applications require state to be shared across the application. In the case of Nuxt, you'll share state across pages. Nuxt integrates easily with Vuex by simply adding JavaScript files in the `store` directory. This lesson walks you through setting up a basic store and using it in your template

Manage Vue.js State with Vuex and Nuxt

You commit changes to state in Vuex using defined `mutations`. You can easily access these state mutations in your template using `mapMutations`. This lesson shows you have to wire together your Vue.js template with your Vuex store using mutations and mapMutations.

Update Vuex State with Mutations and MapMutations in Vue.js

You'll notice soon after working with Nuxt that you'll begin to see your styles flash in during each page load. This is due to the development mode of Nuxt where it injects the styles into the page after the initial page render. You can rest assured that when you use `nuxt build`, your styles will render before the page loads.

Understand the Flash of Unstyled Content in Nuxt

Because Nuxt renders pages on the server, you should use the `nuxt-link` components to navigate between pages. Each time a page loads, you can check if you're on the client or server and avoid doing unnecessary loading based on how the page was rendered. This lesson walks you through using `nuxt-link` and `isClient` to navigate and avoid reloading data.

Navigate with nuxt-link and Customize isClient Behavior in Nuxt and Vue.js

You can isolate parts of templates you want to re-use into components, but you can also reuse those components across pages using layouts. This lesson walks you through creation a navigation component then extracting it out into the default layout.

Build a Navigation Component in Vue.js and Use in a Nuxt Layout

You can easily add CSS libraries to Nuxt using `yarn` or `npm` to install them, then simply adding them to the `nuxt.config.js` so they're included in each page. Then all the classes will be available for use in all of your templates. This lesson walks your through installing a library then adding it to your `nuxt.config.js`.

Add CSS Libraries to Nuxt

In a server-rendered application, if you attempt to load data before the page renders and the data fails to load, your application will not run unless you handle the error properly. This lesson walks you through the options of handling load errors so that your users will always have a good experience.

Handle Load Errors in Nuxt with Alternate Data, Redirect, or Error Layout

You often use the same data in different ways across pages. This lesson walks you through setting up multiple pages, retrieving the same data, then displaying it for each page's use-case.
