Nuxt JS Practice Exercises: Essential Techniques for Mastering the Framework

Practice: Building a Simple Nuxt.js Application

In this practice, we’ll be building a simple Nuxt.js application to reinforce what we’ve learned in the tutorial.

Step 1: Creating a new Nuxt.js project

Use the create-nuxt-app command to create a new Nuxt.js project. In your terminal, run the following command:

luaCopy codecreate-nuxt-app my-nuxt-practice

Step 2: Creating pages

In the pages directory, create the following pages:

• index.vue: This will be the home page of your application.
• about.vue: This will be the about page of your application.

Step 3: Creating a header component

In the components directory, create a new component called Header.vue. This component should contain a header with your application’s title and navigation links to the home and about pages.

Step 4: Including the header component in your pages

In the index.vue and about.vue pages, include the Header.vue component by adding the following code at the top of each file:

phpCopy code<template>
  <Header />
  ...
</template>

<script>
import Header from '@/components/Header.vue'

export default {
  components: {
    Header
  }
}
</script>

Step 5: Adding content to your pages

In the index.vue and about.vue pages, add some content to display on each page. For example, on the home page, you could display a message like “Welcome to my Nuxt.js practice”. On the about page, you could display a message like “Learn more about me and my Nuxt.js application”.

Step 6: Running the development server

Start the development server by running the following command in the my-nuxt-practice directory:

Copy codenpm run dev

Step 7: Testing your application

Navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser to view your Nuxt.js application. Verify that the header component is displayed on both the home and about pages, and that the content for each page is displayed correctly.

This practice will help you get hands-on experience with creating pages, components, and routing in a Nuxt.js application. By building a simple application, you will reinforce the concepts covered in the tutorial and gain a deeper understanding of how to use Nuxt.js.
