Vue
Vue is a progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces. A core principle of Vue is incremental adoption: this makes it easy to build Vue applications that live side-by-side with your existing code.
In this guide, you will create a new Vue application and deploy it using Cloudflare Pages. You will use vue-cli, a batteries-included tool for generating new Vue applications.
Setting up a new project
Use the create-cloudflare CLI (C3) to set up a new project. C3 will create a new project directory, initiate Vue’s official setup tool, and provide the option to deploy instantly.
To use create-cloudflare to create a new Vue project, run the following command:
$ npm create cloudflare@latest my-vue-app -- --framework=vue
Before you continue
All of the framework guides assume you already have a fundamental understanding of Git. If you are new to Git, refer to this summarized Git handbook on how to set up Git on your local machine.
If you clone with SSH, you must generate SSH keys on each computer you use to push or pull from GitHub.
Refer to the GitHub documentation and Git documentation for more information.
Create a GitHub repository
Create a new GitHub repository by visiting repo.new. After creating a new repository, go to your newly created project directory to prepare and push your local application to GitHub by running the following commands in your terminal:
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/<your-gh-username>/<repository-name>
$ git branch -M main
$ git push -u origin main
Deploy with Cloudflare Pages
Deploy via the create-cloudflare CLI (C3)
If you use create-cloudflare(C3) to create your new Vue project, C3 will install all dependencies needed for your project and prompt you to deploy your project via the CLI. If you deploy, your site will be live and you will be provided with a deployment URL.
Deploy via the Cloudflare dashboard
- Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard and select your account.
- In Account Home, select Workers & Pages > Create application > Pages > Connect to Git.
- Select the new GitHub repository that you created and, in the Set up builds and deployments section, provide the following information:
| Configuration option | Value |
|---|---|
| Production branch | main |
| Build command | npm run build |
| Build directory | dist |
After configuring your site, you can begin your first deploy. You should see Cloudflare Pages installing vue, your project dependencies, and building your site, before deploying it.
After deploying your site, you will receive a unique subdomain for your project on *.pages.dev.
Every time you commit new code to your Vue application, Cloudflare Pages will automatically rebuild your project and deploy it. You will also get access to preview deployments on new pull requests, so you can preview how changes look to your site before deploying them to production.
