Ready to build an interactive frontend that you'll love! Look no further than Vue.js: a leader on the frontend world and one that you can sink your teeth into, even if JavaScript isn't your main gig. In this tutorial, we'll build a real-world "Products" area for our site using an API-Platform-powered API. Will it be a single-page application (SPA)? Nope!

Bonus! Along the way, we'll highlight the few differences needed to make this tutorial work with Vue 3.

- All about the Vue object: let's make it feel boring!
- Single file Components (SFCs)
- Modular styles
- Props, data & state! Ya know, the key to everything
- v-bind, v-text, v-on, v-for, v-show: basically all the special v-STUFF!
- Communication up the tree with $emit
- Making (and organizing) AJAX calls
- Organizing your files & adding Webpack "alias" shortcuts
- methods, computed properties
- v-model (what it really does)
- Server-side searching and filtering
- Passing data directly from your server to Vue via Twig
- Watchers: what, when and when not
