Tour of Heroes - Vue.js 2.0 edition

This repo contains an implementation of the Angular 2 'Tour of Heroes' tutorial app using Vue.js 2.0.

• https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/tutorial/
• https://vuejs.org

My primary goal for this project was to compare (for my own benefit) Angular 2 and Vue 2 from an implementation standpoint.

A secondary goal was to see how closely I could align Vue 2 with React in terms of building components. Vue 2 introduced the ability to use a render function within components and the ability to use JSX. Given that I'm much more familiar with React, I wanted to see how far I could stretch Vue to incorporate React-like paradigms.

Highlights

• Vue 2 render function for all components
• JSX for all render functions
• Redux via revue for Redux > Vue bindings (https://github.com/revue/revue)
• Routing via vue-router (https://github.com/vuejs/vue-router)

Installation/usage

• Clone/download repo

• npm install

• Due to an issue with revue and Vue 2.0 (https://github.com/revue/revue/issues/19), you'll also need to modify the following file:

  • node_modules/revue/revue.common.js
  • This line (should be line 114):

  _this.$set(_this.$data, realProp, deepProp(store.getState(), storeProp));
  

  should be replaced with:

  _this[realProp] = deepProp(store.getState(), storeProp);
  

• gulp dev will babel/webpack everything

• BYOWS (Bring Your Own Web Server). If you use IIS/IIS Express, the web.config contains a rewrite rule to ensure that all routes are handled properly.
