Deploying a VueJS site on Patr

Vue.js is a popular JavaScript framework for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It provides a powerful set of tools for building complex UIs with minimal configuration. Vue.js is a progressive framework, which means you can start with small, simple projects and gradually scale up to larger, more complex applications.

Prerequisites - What you'll need

  • NodeJS: Instructions to install NodeJS can be found here.
  • Vue CLI: You can setup Vue CLI by running:
npm install -g @vue/cli

Creating the application

To build a Vue.js application, you will need to create a new project using the Vue CLI. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

vue create my-project

Replace my-project with the name of your app. This will create a new Vue.js project in a directory called my-project. Once the app is created, navigate to the app directory by running the command cd my-project.

Building the application

Run the following command to build your Vue.js app:

npm run build

This will create a dist folder containing the optimized version of your app.

Uploading the application to Patr

  • Navigate to the Static Site Dashboard on Patr.
