With the rapid development of front-end technology, Vue.js, as a high-performance, flexible and easy-to-use JavaScript framework, has become the first choice of many front-end developers. To achieve better results in Vue development, it is very important to build a professional-level development environment. This article will take you step by step to implement a tall Vue development environment.

Choose your own compiler

First, we need to choose a suitable code editor. At present, the popular code editors on the market include VS Code, Sublime Text, etc., and they all support Vue syntax highlighting, smart prompts and other functions. We choose VS Code as the development tool, and install the Vue plug-in, so that we can write Vue code efficiently.
Of course, you can also choose an editor that suits you according to your own habits.
Because there are a lot of introductions to the editor, you can refer to my other column dedicated to the introduction of the editor. Developer tools: the first step of coding .

build environment

Next, we need to use Node.jsand npm. Node.js is a Chrome V8 引擎JavaScript runtime environment based on , which allows us to run on 服务器端运行 JavaScript 代码. npm is Node.js 包管理器, which can help us install and manage various dependency packages required by the project.
In setting up the Vue development environment, we need to use to Vue CLI（命令行界面）工具quickly create and build Vue projects. Installing Vue CLI is as simple as running the following command on the command line:
```
npm install -g @vue/cli
```
Once installed, we can create a new Vue project using the Vue CLI. Run the following command:
```
vue create my-vue-project
```
This creates a Vue project called my-vue-project. During the creation process, Vue CLI will automatically install and configure some basic project templates and dependency packages for us.
Next, we need to configure the development and production modes of the Vue development environment. In the root directory of the Vue project, we can find a vue.config.jsfile called , which is the configuration file for Vue CLI. In this file, we can configure some options for development and production mode as needed.
WebpackFor example, we can use the function in development mode 热重载, so that after modifying the code, the browser will automatically refresh. We can vue.config.jsadd the following code inside the :
```
module.exports = {
      
      
    // ...
    devServer: {
      
      
        hot: true,
        open: true
    }
}
```
In this way, every time we modify the code, the browser will automatically refresh, which greatly improves the development efficiency.
In addition, we can use some plugins provided by Vue CLI to enhance our development environment. For example, we can install Vue Routerplug-ins to implement front-end routing functions. Run the following command:
```
vue add router
```
In this way, Vue CLI will automatically configure it for us Vue Routerand generate some sample code for our reference.
In addition, we can also install Vuexplugins for global state management. Run the following command:
```
vue add vuex
```
Similarly, Vue CLI will automatically configure it for us Vuexand generate some sample code.
Finally, we can use the packaging command provided by Vue CLI to build 生产环境的代码. Run the following command:
```
npm run build
```
In this way, Vue CLI will automatically package our code 静态资源and place it distin the directory for easy deployment on the server.
Through the above steps, we have successfully built a Vue development environment. In this environment, we can write Vue code efficiently and take advantage of the powerful functions provided by Vue CLI to quickly develop and build Vue projects.

I hope this article will help you build a Vue development environment. Let us start a new front-end era together!

Build a professional-level Vue development environment and open a new front-end era!
