Learn how to build Web APIs with the new ASP.NET Core 3.0 and how to secure them with Auth0 authentication and authorization features.

You might have noticed the recent public discussions around how to securely build SPAs – and especially about the “weak security properties” of the OAuth 2.0 Implicit Flow.

This article shows how Vue.js can be used together with ASP.NET Core 3 in a single project. The Vue.js application is built using the Vue.js CLI and built to the wwwroot of the ASP.NET Core application. The ASP.NET Core application is used to implement the APIs consumed by the Vue.js UI.
