The recommended way to start a Vite-powered Vue project

To create a new Vue project usingcreate-vue, simply run the following command in your terminal:

npm create vue@latest

By default the command will run in interactive mode, but you can also provide feature flags in the CLI arguments to skip the prompts. Runnpm create vue@latest --help to see all available options.

If you need to support IE11, you can create a Vue 2 project with:

npm create vue@legacy

• Vite-Powered: Vue CLI is based on webpack, whilecreate-vue is based onVite. Vite supports most of the configured conventions found in Vue CLI projects out of the box, and provides a significantly better development experience due to its extremely fast startup and hot-module replacement speed.

• Scaffolding Tool: Unlike Vue CLI,create-vue itself is just a scaffolding tool. It creates a pre-configured project based on the features you choose, and delegates the rest to Vite. Projects scaffolded this way can directly leverage theVite plugin ecosystem which is Rollup-compatible.
