This technical document provides an overview of,, Personally, a simple blog application built using Vue.js version 2. The application includes a home page, a category page, and a single article page with a recommended articles section. This document will cover the architecture, components, and key features of the application.
The application is structured as follows:
-
Home Page: This is the landing page of the blog, displaying a list of recent articles.
-
Category Page: Users can filter articles by category on this page.
-
Single Article Page: This page displays a single article's content, and includes a recommended articles section based on the current article's category.
Before diving into the technical details, ensure that you have the following tools and technologies installed:
- Vue.js 3.x
- Node.js and pnpm (Nerformant Node Package Manager)
- A code editor (e.g., Visual Studio Code)
- Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
To create the Vue.js blog app, follow these steps:
-
Run the application: Clone this repository and install the packages:
- Clone the project:
git clone https://github.com/braanj/personally.git git checkout dev
- Install dependencies:
pnpm install
- Run the project:
pnpm dev
-
Type-Check, Compile and Minify for Production
pnpm build
-
Component Setup: Create components for the Home Page, Category Page, and Single Article Page.
-
Routing: Set up Vue Router to handle navigation between these pages.
-
Sample Data: For testing purposes, create sample data in the form of JSON files to represent articles and categories.
-
Styling: Style the application using CSS or a CSS framework (e.g., Bootstrap).
-
Implement Logic: Implement the logic for displaying articles, filtering by category, and showing recommended articles.
-
Testing: Test the application to ensure it functions correctly.
- Component Name:
HomePage
- Description: The Home Page component displays a list of recent articles.
- Component Name:
CategoryPage
- Description: The Category Page component allows users to filter articles by category.
- Component Name:
SingleArticlePage
- Description: The Single Article Page component displays a single article's content and includes a recommended articles section.
- Use Vue Router to define routes for the Home Page, Category Page, and Single Article Page.
import Vue from "vue";
import VueRouter from "vue-router";
import HomePage from "./components/HomePage.vue";
import CategoryPage from "./components/CategoryPage.vue";
import SingleArticlePage from "./components/SingleArticlePage.vue";
Vue.use(VueRouter);
const routes = [
{ path: "/", component: HomePage },
{ path: "/category/:category", component: CategoryPage },
{ path: "/article/:id", component: SingleArticlePage },
];
const router = new VueRouter({
routes,
mode: "history",
});
export default router;
For this sample application, we'll create JSON files (simple API) to store article and category data.
- articles.json: Contains information about blog articles, including title, content, category, and ID.
- categories.json: Stores a list of categories.
We'll use this data to populate the components with content.
We'll style the application using CSS or a CSS framework of our choice. We'll make sure that the styling is consistent across all components and that the user experience is visually appealing.
The implementation details for the key features of each component are as follows:
- Fetch the list of recent articles from
articles.json
. - Display a list of articles with titles and excerpts.
- Implement navigation links to view the full article.
- Fetch the list of categories from
categories.json
. - Allow users to select a category to filter articles.
- Display a list of articles in the selected category.
- Accept a parameter for the article ID in the route.
- Fetch the article content and category from
articles.json
. - Display the article's title, content, and category.
- Implement a section for recommended articles in the same category.
Thoroughly test the application to ensure that all components, routes, and features work as expected. Pay attention to edge cases and potential errors.
