This is a project template for vue-cli. It is recommended to use npm 3+ for a more efficient dependency tree.

$ npm install -g vue-cli
$ vue init webpack my-project
$ cd my-project
$ npm install
$ npm run dev

If port 8080 is already in use on your machine you must change the port number in /config/index.js. Otherwise npm run dev will fail.

• npm run dev: first-in-class development experience.

  • Webpack + vue-loader for single file Vue components.
  • State preserving hot-reload
  • State preserving compilation error overlay
  • Lint-on-save with ESLint
  • Source maps

• npm run build: Production ready build.

  • JavaScript minified with UglifyJS.
  • HTML minified with html-minifier.
  • CSS across all components extracted into a single file and minified with cssnano.
  • All static assets compiled with version hashes for efficient long-term caching, and a production index.html is auto-generated with proper URLs to these generated assets.
  • Use npm run build --reportto build with bundle size analytics.

• npm run unit: Unit tests run in PhantomJS with Karma + Mocha + karma-webpack.

  • Supports ES2015+ in test files.
  • Supports all webpack loaders.
  • Easy mock injection.

• npm run e2e: End-to-end tests with Nightwatch.

  • Run tests in multiple browsers in parallel.
  • Works with one command out of the box:
    • Selenium and chromedriver dependencies automatically handled.
    • Automatically spawns the Selenium server.
