Add Vue/Vite Project Setup

by ADMIN 27 views

Introduction

In this article, we will explore how to set up a Vue/Vite project using PowerShell. We will create a script called setup_vue_vite.ps1 that initializes a Vite-based Vue project inside the apps/clients/vue-vite/ directory. This script will automate the process of creating a new Vue project, installing dependencies, and setting up the development environment.

Requirements

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following requirements met:

  • A directory named apps/clients/vue-vite/ exists in your project structure.
  • You have PowerShell installed on your system.
  • You have Node.js and npm installed on your system.

Script Setup

To set up the script, create a new file called setup_vue_vite.ps1 in the root of your project. This file will contain the PowerShell script that will initialize the Vue/Vite project.

Script Content

# Check if the directory exists
if (-not (Test-Path -Path "apps/clients/vue-vite")) {
    Write-Host "Error: Directory 'apps/clients/vue-vite' does not exist."
    exit
}

# Navigate to the directory
Set-Location -Path "apps/clients/vue-vite"

# Create a new Vue project using Vite
Write-Host "Creating a new Vue project using Vite..."
npm create vite@latest . --template vue

# Install dependencies
Write-Host "Installing dependencies..."
npm install

# Ask the user if they want to start the dev server
Write-Host "Do you want to start the dev server? (yes/no)"
$answer = Read-Host

if ($answer -eq "yes") {
    # Start the dev server
    Write-Host "Starting the dev server..."
    npm run dev
} else {
    # Provide instructions on how to start the dev server manually
    Write-Host "To start the dev server manually, run the following command:"
    Write-Host "cd apps/clients/vue-vite"
    Write-Host "npm run dev"
}

How the Script Works

Here's a step-by-step explanation of how the script works:

  1. The script first checks if the apps/clients/vue-vite/ directory exists. If it doesn't, it exits the script and displays an error message.
  2. The script then navigates to the apps/clients/vue-vite/ directory using the Set-Location cmdlet.
  3. The script creates a new Vue project using Vite by running the npm create vite@latest command with the --template vue option.
  4. The script installs the dependencies required for the project by running the npm install command.
  5. The script then asks the user if they want to start the dev server. If the user responds with "yes", the script starts the dev server by running the npm run dev command.
  6. If the user responds with "no", the script provides instructions on how to start the dev server manually.

Using the Script

To use the script, simply run the setup_vue_vite.ps1 file in PowerShell. The script will guide you through the process of setting up a Vue/Vite project.
