Preface

This book covers the full set of technologies that you need to know about to become a full-stack web developer with Spring and Vue.js. Spring is the most widely used framework for Java programming, and with its latest update to version 5, the framework has undergone some massive changes. Spring supports MVC architectural stylesand is the most popular framework of its kind. Along with Spring in this stack, we will use Vue.js. Vue.js is a lightweight JavaScript framework. Since its release, it has managed to establish itself as one of the most popular frameworks for building user interfaces and is seeing a rapid adoption rate. In this book, you'll become familiar with these technologies while learning to develop a practical web application. You'll discover each technology in the full stack as you build an application up, one layer at a time, just as you'd do in a real project. From initial structuring to full deployment, this book provides step-by-step guidance for developing a web application from scratch with Vue.js and Spring. This book takes a very practical approach to becoming a full-stack web developer. You will create the different components of your application as you progress through each chapter. You will walk through the different tools in each of these frameworks to expedite your development cycle. Finally, this book will also demonstrate the key design patterns and best practices that underpin professional full-stack web development.

Modern Web Application Development - This Is a New Era

The diversity of the modern web application development ecosystem is increasing at anastonishing rate. You can see new frameworks and libraries coming out almost every day. People seem to be happy with constantly reinventing the wheel. This could be daunting to new learners as the time it takes to master a new skill makes it sometimes difficult to keep pace with the rate with which technologies are evolving. And this has caused frequent complaints of making web development unnecessarily complicated, as there are many new libraries and frameworks to learn and a large number of new tools to familiarize yourself with. 

The anxiety associated with the feeling that you might not be able to keep up with the mainstream can be released once you have learned how to create a full-stack modern web application and master the skill sets that are required to build such an application. And, with this book, you will learn these skill sets and realize that being a full-stack developer is not only about knowing how to write frontend and backend code. In this book, we will create a real-world, full-stack web application and cover most of the skills that a full-stack developer would require. And once you have finished reading it, you will understand that languages and frameworks are just tools in your toolbox. You can replace them with other languages and frameworks and also build great full-stack applications.

To start our journey, we will begin with the basics. Once you have those basics imprinted in your mind, you can learn the frameworks more efficiently. In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

An introduction to the full-stack web application we will build in this book

Learning JavaScript from a Java developer's viewpoint

Learning the features of ECMAScript 2015 that we will use in this book

Introduction

If you're creating a résumé page for your personal website, it will most likely be sufficient to write it in vanilla JavaScript, HTML 5, and some creative CSS style sheets that make it look special and unique. And if you're creating the jobs page of your company's official website, doing it barehanded might work. But if you use a number of frameworks to style the page and to process logic and animations, you will find yourself in a much better position that you can still go home from work earlier than usual and enjoy a cup of coffee with friends at the weekend. And if you're building something like Monster (https://www.monster.com/) I hope that you are not just carrying those favorite frameworks with you to the battlefield, and if you go barehanded, you wouldn't even make it there. With the level of complexity of such an application and the fact that you will need to keep improving or changing features because of the neverending stop-change requirements, you need to bring the tools for modern web application development with you.

Sometimes, people use the term vanilla JavaScript to refer to using plain JavaScript without any additional libraries, such as jQuery, Lodash, and many more. That means that you write your code with only the APIs that the JavaScript language itself provides.

In this book, we will create a modern web application called TaskAgile, which is a Trello-like application for task management. Let's first get an overview of the technologies that we will use to build it.

For the frontend, we will use Vue.js 2 as our frontend application framework, Bootstrap 4 as the UI framework, and we will write our frontend in ES6, also known as ECMAScript 2015, or ES 2015, and then use Babel to compile it into ES5 code. We will use ESLint to check our JS code to make sure it follows all the rules we defined and use Flow (https://flow.org) for static type checking. We will use Jest to write our frontend unit testing's and use Nightwatch.js to run our end-to-end test cases. We will use webpack 4 to bundle all the dependencies and use npm to take care of the package management.

For the backend, we will use Spring Boot 2 to create a Spring 5 application. And we will use Hibernate 5 as our object-relational mapping (ORM) framework, and MySQL as our database. We will use Spring Security for authentication and authorization, and we will implement a real-time-update feature with Spring WebSocket. We will use Spring AMPQ for asynchronously processing background tasks and Spring Session for server-side session management.

Now, before we introduce Vue.js 2 and Spring 5, for readers who are not familiar with JavaScript, let's learn the basics of it, starting with the part that Java developers would easily get confused with. 

JavaScript from a Java developer's viewpoint

For readers who are new to JavaScript but who are familiar with the Java language, here are some differences between the two languages that may confuse you. And even though this section is written from a Java developer's perspective, if you're new to JavaScript, you will also find it informative.
