# Getting Started with Vue.js

This integration guide is following the [Getting started guide](../getting-started/quick-start.html). We assume that you have completed [Step 8](../getting-started/quick-start.html#_8-consume-the-content-type-s-api) and therefore can consume the API by browsing this [url](http://localhost:1337/restaurants).

If you haven't gone through the getting started guide, the way you request a Strapi API with [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/) remains the same except that you will not fetch the same content.


### Create a Vue.js app

Create a basic Vue.js application using [Vue CLI](https://cli.vuejs.org).


```bash
vue create vue-app
```


### Use an HTTP client

Many HTTP clients are available but in this documentation we'll use [Axios](https://github.com/axios/axios) and [Fetch](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API)


:::: tabs

::: tab axios

```bash
yarn add axios
```

:::

::: tab fetch

No installation needed

### GET Request your collection type

Execute a GET request on the `restaurant` Collection Type in order to fetch all your restaurants.

Be sure that you activated the `find` permission for the `restaurant` Collection Type.


:::: tabs

::: tab axios

*Request*

```js
import axios from 'axios'

axios.get('http://localhost:1337/restaurants')
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response);
  })
```

:::

::: tab fetch

*Request*

```js
fetch("http://localhost:1337/restaurants", {
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
     'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
}).then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data));
```

:::

*Response*

```json

### PUT Request your collection type

Execute a PUT request on the `restaurant` Collection Type in order to update the category of a restaurant.

Be sure that you activated the `put` permission for the `restaurant` Collection Type.

:::: tabs

We consider that the id of your restaurant is `2`
and the id of your category is `3`

::: tab axios

*Request*

```js
import axios from 'axios'

axios.put('http://localhost:1337/restaurants/2', {
  categories: [
    3
  ]
})
.then(response => {
  console.log(response);
})
```

## Conclusion

Here is how to request your Collection Types in Strapi using Vue.js. When you create a Collection Type or a Single Type you will have a certain number of REST API endpoints available to interact with.

We just used the GET, POST and PUT methods here but you can [get one entry](../content-api/api-endpoints.html#get-an-entry), [get how much entry you have](../content-api/api-endpoints.html#count-entries) and [delete](../content-api/api-endpoints.html#delete-an-entry) an entry too. Learn more about [API Endpoints](../content-api/api-endpoints.html#api-endpoints)
