A “Wordle” on Test Driven Development in Vue.js

Imagine writing your code backwards—first with tests, then with the code to pass them. That’s the magic of Test-Driven Development (TDD)! In this course, you’ll embrace this powerful approach while building a Wordle clone from scratch using Vue.js 3 and the Composition API. You'll learn how TDD helps you write clean, maintainable code, and discover the Red-Green-Refactor cycle, all while having fun crafting a game. Whether you’re a newbie or a TDD pro, get ready for a hands-on journey to level up your testing and Vue skills in the most exciting way!

Why Take This Course?

In this course, you’ll dive deep into Test-Driven Development (TDD) while working hands-on with Vue.js 3 and its dynamic Composition API. Along the way, we’ll build a clone of the popular game Wordle, step by step. This course is designed to teach you not only the theory but also how to apply it practically, enabling you to write tests that:

• Act as clear guidelines for your development goals.
• Protect your existing features.
• Encourage writing clean, modular, and maintainable code.

That’s not all! In this course, you’ll also:

1. Strengthen Your Vue.js Skills:
   • Gain mastery of the Vue 3 Composition API.
   • Learn how to use Vitest and Vue Test Utils effectively.
2. Master the TDD Mindset:
   • Understand and apply the Red-Green-Refactor cycle.
   • Learn how tests can guide development and reduce bugs.
3. Practical Application:
   • Build a fully functional Wordle clone from scratch.
   • Practice crafting tests that act as documentation and protect against regressions.
4. Advanced Testing Techniques:
   • Work with mocks, spies, and test generators.
   • Handle visual regression testing to ensure consistent user interfaces.

What You’ll Learn

• Understand the Red-Green-Refactor loop and its importance.
• Craft resilient tests that guide and protect your code.
• Use test generators for efficient and reusable test creation.
• Master mocks and spies for more complex testing scenarios.
• Develop a testing mindset for cleaner, more maintainable code.
• Refactor your code to improve clarity and performance.
• Address regressions effectively with targeted tests.

This course also covers strategies for creating flexible tests, enabling you to adapt and change your code confidently.

Perfect for All Skill Levels

While a basic understanding of Vue Test Utils is recommended, this course is accessible to developers of all skill levels. Whether you’re:

• A Vue.js enthusiast eager to dive into testing.
• A TDD advocate refining your approach.
• A developer keen to enhance your software development expertise.

This course provides a comprehensive foundation in TDD with a strong focus on Vue.js development.

Let’s Build Together!

By the end of this course, you’ll not only understand the fundamentals of TDD but also have the skills to apply them in real-world scenarios. Building the Wordle clone will give you a hands-on opportunity to practice and refine these concepts, leaving you ready to tackle testing challenges in your own projects.
