This is the branch for @vue/cli 3.0.

Status: alpha

npm install -g @vue/cli
# or
yarn global add @vue/cli

vue create my-project

You can rapidly prototype with just a single *.vue file with the vue serve and vue build commands, but they require an additional global addon to be installed:

yarn global add @vue/cli-service-global
echo '<template><h1>Hello!</h1></template>' > App.vue
vue serve

vue serve uses the same default setup (webpack, babel, postcss & eslint) as projects created by vue create. It automatically infers the entry file in the current directory - the entry can be one of main.js, index.js, App.vue or app.vue. If needed, you can also provide an index.html, install and use local dependencies, or even configure babel, postcss & eslint with corresponding config files.

The drawback of vue serve is that it relies on globally installed dependencies which may be inconsistent on different machines. Therefore this is only recommended for rapid prototyping.

Each CLI plugin ships with a generator (which creates files) and a runtime plugin (which tweaks the core webpack config and injects commands). When you use vue create to create a new project, some plugins will be pre-installed for you based on your feature selection. In case you want to install a plugin into an already created project, simply install it first:

yarn add @vue/cli-plugin-eslint

Then you can invoke the plugin's generator so it generates files into your project:

vue invoke eslint # the prefix can be omitted

It is recommended to commit your project's current state before running vue invoke, so that after file generation you can review the changes and revert if needed.

@vue/cli uses the same vue binary, so it overwrites vue-cli@2.x. If you still need the legacy vue init functionality, you can install a global bridge:

yarn global add @vue/cli-init
# vue init now works exactly the same as vue-cli@2.x
vue init webpack my-project
