Vue.js SPA & Japronto REST server example*

SPA — single page web application
REST — representative state transfer

From the one hand example demonstrates how to make REST server on the basis of Japronto and Python 3.5+ asyncio. From the other hand it can be considered as starting point for learning Vue.js extended with Vuex and many other front-end stuff like CoffeeScript, Webpack and Pug.

Getting started

Make sure the following software is installed and is in the PATH.

• Node.js and npm
• Python 3.5 or higher and pip
• MongoDB

Checkout repository and run following commands inside the repo root. It will install all necessary front-end and back-end dependencies.

pip install -r requirements.txt
npm install

Then build front-end by running

npm run build

Before running Japronto server, first start MongoDB server as follows or change DB connection string in server/config.py if you have existing MongoDB instance.

npm run mongo

To start Japronto server execute

npm run dev  # debug environment
npm run prod # production environment

by default it will start HTTP server at localhost:5432
