Vue Forum App — Frontend

A fullstack application built with Vue on the frontend and Node/Express on the backend.

Demo    Backend

This repo demonstrates almost everything you need to know to build a complete fullstack application using Vue and Node/Express. This demo covers things like:

• Authentication/Authorization with JWT
• Routing
• Communicating with a backend API
• Managing the state of the app with Vuex
• Uploading Images
• Forms Validation
• Handling errors
• Loading states
• More stuff

Running the demo

1. Install and run the backend project
2. Download this repo
3. Create .env in the root directory, and add:

VUE_APP_API_CLIENT='server'
VUE_APP_API_SERVER_BASE_URL='http://localhost:5000'

I'm here assuming that the backend will run on localhost:5000. If you set VUE_APP_API_CLIENT to mock, you'll use data from the mock store, which means you won't need the backend running.

5. Run npm install
6. Run npm run serve

To build it and run it in production mode:

1. Run npm run build
2. Run npm run start
