Part 2. The View and ViewModel

The meat of this book lies in the View and ViewModel section. These chapters look deeper into Vue and all the elements and pieces that make up a Vue application. We’ll start out simple and add interactivity to our application. We’ll then move onto forms and inputs, conditionals, and looping.

Several of the most important concepts are in chapters 6 and 7, where we look at components in depth. These are truly the building blocks of our application. This is the first chapter where we’ll see single-file components—a powerful tool in your Vue.js toolbelt.

The last two chapters will look at transitions, animations, and how to extend Vue. This will make our applications more efficient and look a little prettier.
