Comprehensive Guide to Setting Up a Vue Project Using Git

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a Vue project using Git. By following these steps, you can quickly and confidently start your project.

1. Initial Setup​

Initial Vue Setup

Application Name​

First, choose a suitable name for your application. This name will be used as an identifier in your project domain.

caution
  • Use lowercase letters and only use - as a separator between words.
  • You cannot change the application name after creating the app.

Node Version​

Choosing the appropriate Node version for your project is very important. Select from the available list or enter your desired version. Please note that the selected version must be available in Docker repositories (such as DockerHub).

Repository​

Repository Address​

Enter the Git repository address for your project. Example: https://github.com/username/repo

danger

Make sure that the package.json file is present in your project.

Repository Type and Access​

  • Public: Enter the address directly.
  • Private: You can connect your private repo to the platform in two ways:
Connect with Access Token​
Connect with SSH Key​

After completing this step, select the "Next" option.

2. Advanced Settings (Optional)​

Advanced Vue Settings

In this section, you can apply more detailed settings for your project:

Build​

Sample package.json file:

{
  "name": "my-vue-project",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "serve": "vue-cli-service serve",
    "build": "vue-cli-service build",
    "lint": "vue-cli-service lint"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "core-js": "^3.8.3",
    "vue": "^3.2.13"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@vue/cli-plugin-babel": "~5.0.0",
    "@vue/cli-plugin-eslint": "~5.0.0",
    "@vue/cli-service": "~5.0.0",
    "eslint": "^7.32.0",
    "eslint-plugin-vue": "^8.0.3"
  },
  "eslintConfig": {
    "root": true,
    "env": {
      "node": true
    },
    "extends": ["plugin:vue/vue3-essential", "eslint:recommended"],
    "parserOptions": {
      "parser": "@babel/eslint-parser"
    },
    "rules": {}
  },
  "browserslist": ["> 1%", "last 2 versions", "not dead", "not ie 11"]
}

Build Command​

  • Specific command(s) for building the project
  • Default: npm run build
  • To use multiple commands, use ; as a separator (e.g., npm run build;npm run start)

Run Command​

  • Command to run the project
  • For Vue.js, it is better to leave this field empty

Output Dir​

  • Location of the built files
  • Default: dist/

Port​

Specify the port number on which your application will run. The default port is 3000, but you can change it.

tip

  • After the initial setup, it is possible to change the port.

  • To specify the port, make sure to use the address 0.0.0.0.

Resource Scheduling​

Disk​

Environment Variables​

4. Select Plan​

Select Vue Plan

In this step, choose your desired plan. You can select from the available list or configure it manually.

Replicas​

Specify the number of replicas (running instances) for your application. This number affects the performance and availability of your application.

Importance of the Number of Replicas​

  • Scalability: Increased processing power with more replicas
  • High Availability: Maintaining performance in case one instance fails
  • Load Distribution: Distributing the load among multiple instances

After selecting your desired plan, choose the Create App option.

5. Project Management​

Vue Project Management

After setup, you will have various management options available:

  • Check project status

  • Manage connections and resources

  • Manage port

    info

    The port you defined in your project must also be defined here.

  • Rename Dockerfile (if needed)

    tip

    If your project requires very specific settings, you can create your own custom Dockerfile. For more information, refer to this link.

  • Change build command
