Welcome to Vue
We'll be using the Vue CLI for this tutorial. If you are new to the Vue.js framework, you can find great documentation and tutorials on the vuejs.org website.
To install and use the Vue CLI as well as run the Vue application server, you'll need the Node.js JavaScript runtime and npm (the Node.js package manager) installed. npm is included with Node.js which you can install from Node.js downloads.
Tip: To test that you have Node.js and npm correctly installed on your machine, you can type node --version
and npm --version
.
To install the vue/cli
, in a terminal or command prompt type:
This may take a few minutes to install. You can now create a new Vue.js application by typing:
where my-app
is the name of the folder for your application. You will be prompted to select a preset and you can keep the default (babel, eslint)
, which will use Babel to transpile the JavaScript to browser compatible ES5 and install the ESLint linter to detect coding errors. It may take a few minutes to create the Vue application and install its dependencies.
Vue Js Visual Studio 2019
Let's quickly run our Vue application by navigating to the new folder and typing npm run serve
to start the web server and open the application in a browser:
You should see 'Welcome to your Vue.js App' on http://localhost:8080 in your browser. You can press Ctrl+C to stop the vue-cli-service
server.
To open your Vue application in VS Code, from a terminal (or command prompt), navigate to the my-app
folder and type code .
:
VS Code will launch and display your Vue application in the File Explorer.
Vetur extension
Now expand the src
folder and select the App.vue
file. You'll notice that VS Code doesn't show any syntax highlighting and it treats the file as Plain Text as you can see in the lower right Status Bar. You'll also see a notification recommending the Vetur extension for the .vue
file type.
The Vetur extension supplies Vue.js language features (syntax highlighting, IntelliSense, snippets, formatting) to VS Code.
Visual Studio Code Vue Plugin
From the notification, press Install to download and install the Vetur extension. You should see the Vetur extension Installing in the Extensions view. Once the installation is complete (may take several minutes), the Install button will change to the Manage gear button.
Now you should see that .vue
is a recognized file type for the Vue language and you have language features such as syntax highlighting, bracket matching, and hover descriptions.
IntelliSense
As you start typing in App.vue
, you'll see smart suggestions or completions both for HTML and CSS but also for Vue.js specific items like declarations (v-bind
, v-for
) in the Vue template
section:
and Vue properties (methods
, computed
) in the scripts
section:
Go to Definition, Peek definition
VS Code through the Vue extension language service can also provide type definition information in the editor through Go to Definition (F12) or Peek Definition (⌥F12 (Windows Alt+F12, Linux Ctrl+Shift+F10)). Put the cursor over the App
, right click and select Peek Definition. A Peek window will open showing the App
definition from App.js
.
Press Escape to close the Peek window.
Hello World!
Let's update the sample application to 'Hello World!'. In App.vue
replace the HelloWorld component msg
custom attribute text with 'Hello World!'.
Once you save the App.vue
file (⌘S (Windows, Linux Ctrl+S)), restart the server with npm run serve
and you'll see 'Hello World!'. Leave the server running while we go on to learn about Vue.js client side debugging.
Tip: VS Code supports Auto Save, which by default saves your files after a delay. Check the Auto Save option in the File menu to turn on Auto Save or directly configure the files.autoSave
user setting.
Linting
Linters analyze your source code and can warn you about potential problems before you run your application. The Vue ESLint plugin (eslint-plugin-vue) checks for Vue.js specific syntax errors which are shown in the editor as red squigglies and are also displayed in the Problems panel (View > Problems⇧⌘M (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+M)).
Below you can see an error when the Vue linter detects more than one root element in a template:
Debugging
You can debug client side Vue.js code with the Debugger for Chrome extension. You can learn more from the Vue.js debugging in Chrome and VS Code recipe on the VS Code debugging recipes site.
Note: There are currently issues with the sourcemaps generated by vue-cli, which cause issues with the debugging experience in VS Code. See https://github.com/vuejs/vue-loader/issues/1163.
Another popular tool for debugging Vue.js is the vue-devtools plug-in.
Other extensions
Vetur is only one of many Vue.js extensions available for VS Code. You can search in the Extensions view (⇧⌘X (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+X)) by typing 'vue'.
There are also Extension Packs which bundle extensions that other people have found useful for Vue.js development.
