NOT MAINTAINED Vue.js with Sails.js example project

This project is for those who are new to single-page applications and want to learn through a real example. Besides that, it should cover most of the features from Sails.js and Vue.js, like a reference book. For a better understanding, you should be aware of JavaScript ES6 features and also async/await.

Features

This project should cover as many features as possible. It should be used as an example for newbies and also serve as a reference book. These notable elements are covered.

  • Internationalization
  • Unit and functional tests (frontend tests with Cypress.io)
  • Dedicated mobile version
  • Socket.IO usage
  • Local storage plus cookie authentication
  • User input validation
  • Progressive web app support
  • State persistence
  • Natural language processing

Installation

Prerequisites

To get started, you need Node.js. It's also recommend to have Sails.js globally installed. If you don't want to have Sails.js globally installed just use npm run dev. Finally, install the Node.js modules.

Get Node.js

$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
$ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Get Sails.js (optional)

$ sudo npm install sails -g

Install modules

$ cd frontend && npm install
$ cd ../backend && npm install

Usage

Development

cd backend && sails lift and then cd ../frontend && npm run serve. After that, open localhost:8080 in your browser. Make sure that you start both servers simultaneously.

Production

First, you have to build up your Vue.js components and merge them with Sails.js. This can be done with cd frontend && npm run build. Now do cd ../backend && NODE_ENV=production node app.js and then open your browser and go to localhost:1337.

Commands

Backend

For a complete list see package.json.

Command Description
npm run dev Start Sails.js if you didn't install it globally
npm run dev:watch Start Sails.js with watch mode if you didn't install it globally (this will delete new products)
npm run test Run all available tests like unit or functional tests

Frontend

For a complete list see package.json.

Command Description
npm run serve Start the development server at localhost:8080
npm run build Minfiy, uglify and merge the application with Sails.js
npm run test Run all available tests like unit or functional tests

Essential components

The following components are used in this project. There are plenty more, though, check the package.json files.

This is the backend and data provider.

Handle frontend data with a MVVM.

A state pattern.

Frontend framework. The design part.

HTTP client for Vue.js.

Router for the frontend.

Starter template

If you want to start from scratch without any content take a look at the starter template made by Steven Hanna. It uses the same setup as this example.

Code style

This project fulfils the JavaScript Standard Style.
