Series: Building an object model in Vue

Over the past six months or so I’ve been learning Vue.js. It’s a real interesting trip - back when I started getting interested in programming Ruby on Rails was the New Hotness™, and I spent a lot of time mucking about with MVC-styled apps and WidgetControllers and the like. Now, some fifteen years later, everything is client-side and javascript!¹

Anyway, if there’s one thing harder than getting someone to latch onto an idea, it’s getting someone to let go of it. That’s why, as soon as I got past the “how does it work?” phase of learning Vue, I started building things using ye olde CRUD patterns and object models that look suspiciously like rails’ ActiveRecord.
