Aurelia For Real World Web Applications
Using the Aurelia Javascript framework to build real world applications.
About the Book
Aurelia is a powerful Javascript framework based on standards. One of the strongest aspects of Aurelia is you are not learning a framework, you are learning how to use future-spec Javascript.
In this book you will learn the underlying concepts of the Aurelia framework and at the same time, you will learn how to do various real world programming tasks such as:
- Working with forms; validation, multi-step, data caching
- How to use third party libraries
- Working with jQuery and jQuery UI
- Interfacing with API's using both the Fetch and HttpClient dependencies provided by Aurelia
- Implementing authentication in your Aurelia applications as well as numerous strategies for working with different types of authentication
- How to write an Aurelia application using TypeScript
- The definitive guide to bundling and deploying your Aurelia applications
- Working with CSS pre-processors such as; LESS, Stylus and Sass
- How to create custom elements and attributes
- Porting over existing Angular 1 and Angular 2 applications to Aurelia
- Working with the binding system
- How to extend Aurelia
