A typical single page application (SPA) can’t work properly without an API to fetch data. Normally, we use Laravel for this but Google’s Firebase project seemed a good option as well, especially for quickly creating a minimum viable product. In this post, I’ll discuss some issues I ran into while working on a side project called ‘My Books’.

This is the last part in the blog series about creating a product configurator for a fictive webshop. The product configurator is build using Vue. In the previous post we discussed the Vuex store. In this post the components are discussed. We leverage the strength of v-model and create the product configurator using container and presentational components.

In the previous post I introduced our fictive webshop with a product configurator. The plan is to build this configurator using Vue. To manage the state of the application I’ll use Vuex. In this post the Vuex store is introduced with modules, state, actions and mutations. At the end I even include a small test implementation.

We see it more and more these days: product configurators in webshops. The customer may choose from a wide variety of options to create a personalised product. The techniques to develop such a product configurator also vary widely. In this blog series I’ll discuss our approach using Vue. In the first part I’ll go over the concept, a sketch and defining the components.
