Start Creating your First Vue.js Application from Template

If you’re looking to get started with Vue.js, you’re in the right place! Vue.js is a popular open-source JavaScript framework for building user interfaces and single-page applications.

One of the easiest ways to get started with Vue.js is by using a template to create your first application. In this article, we’ll walk through the steps to create your first Vue.js application using a template.

Step 1: Install Vue CLI

The first step is to install Vue CLI, the official command-line tool for Vue.js. Vue CLI provides a standard tooling setup for Vue applications, making it easy to create and manage projects. You can install Vue CLI using npm, the Node.js package manager, with the following command:

$ npm install -g @vue/cli

Step 2: Create a New Vue Project

Once Vue CLI is installed, you can use it to create a new Vue project. Navigate to the directory where you want to create your Vue project and run the following command:

$ vue create my-vue-app

Replace “my-vue-app” with the name of your project. This command will prompt you to select a preset for your project, such as default, manually select features, or use a saved preset. For your first project, you can choose the default preset.

Step 3: Run the Vue Application

Once your project is created, navigate to the project directory and run the following command to start the development server:

$ cd my-vue-app
$ npm run serve

This will start a development server and you will be able to see your Vue application running in the browser at http://localhost:8080.

That’s it! You have successfully created your first Vue.js application using a template. From here, you can start building out your application and exploring the features of Vue.js.
