Vite - Vue

Vite - Vue is a boilerplate template that scaffolds a minimal Vue 3 application powered by Vite, designed for one-click deployment to Vercel.

What is Vite - Vue?

Vite - Vue is a starter template from Vercel's framework boilerplate examples. It provides a minimal Vue 3 project set up with Vite as the build tool, using the <script setup> syntax for single-file components. The template takes no input (it is a scaffold) and produces a runnable Vue 3 web application with a dev server, build process, and Vercel deployment configuration. It runs on Vercel's platform and is maintained by Vercel as part of their public examples repository.

Key Features

• Vue 3 with script setup — Uses the Composition API's <script setup> sugar for single-file components, reducing boilerplate in component logic.
• Vite build tool — Leverages Vite's fast dev server and on-demand compilation; the template is configured for Vue 3 out of the box.
• One-click Vercel deployment — Includes a Deploy with Vercel button that clones the template into a new repository and deploys it.
• Vercel CLI deployment — Run a single vercel command from your terminal to deploy the project.
• Live example — A deployed instance is available at https://vite-vue-template.vercel.app for previewing the default output.
• Framework flexibility — While preconfigured for Vue, the underlying Vite setup can be adapted to other supported JS frameworks.

Who is it for?

• New Vue developers — Provides a clean starting point to learn Vue 3 and Vite without manually configuring the toolchain.
• Frontend developers shipping to production — Use the Vercel integration to deploy rapidly and iterate.
• Developers prototyping quickly — Spin up a fresh Vue app in seconds, then replace the default components with their own.

What can you do with Vite - Vue?

• Scaffold a new project: Clone or deploy the template to generate a working Vue 3 project structure with Vite.
• Deploy to Vercel instantly: Use the Deploy button or the vercel CLI command to publish the site without server configuration.
• Build a custom web app: Replace the starter components with your own UI and logic while keeping the optimized Vite build pipeline.

How does Vite - Vue work?

The template works as a standard Vite project: it includes a package.json with Vue and Vite dependencies, a main entry point, and an app component. To deploy, either click the Deploy button to create a new Vercel project with the template, or run vercel in the project directory after installing Vercel CLI, and follow the prompts.
