About:
Vue CLI is a full system for rapid Vue.js development, providing interactive project scaffolding via `vue create`. It features a runtime dependency (`@vue/cli-service`) that is version-locked to the core CLI, ensuring consistent build behaviors across projects.
Key Features:
  • Interactive project scaffolding with Vue 2 or Vue 3 presets
  • Instant prototyping via `vue serve` without build configuration
  • Rich plugin ecosystem for Babel, TypeScript, ESLint, and Unit Testing
  • Runtime dependency (`@vue/cli-service`) abstracted from project configuration
Use Cases:
  • Scaffolding new single-page applications (SPAs) with modern frontend tooling
  • Standardizing build pipelines and dependency management across Vue teams
Alternatives:
  • Vite – Vite offers significantly faster server start times using native ES modules, whereas Vue CLI relies on Webpack under the hood.
  • Nuxt – Nuxt provides a higher-level framework with server-side rendering (SSR) capabilities, while Vue CLI is strictly a frontend build tool.
