Overview

The Vue.js boilerplate for Vue 2.x and Webpack 3.x offers a solid foundation for building applications with a streamlined approach. Developed over a year by a dedicated team, it encapsulates various functionalities tailored for modern web development, addressing complexities like hybrid applications and bridging. This boilerplate presents an organized structure that not only enhances performance but also simplifies the development process.

With features such as local server implementation, hot updates, and localized storage, this boilerplate facilitates a smoother workflow for developers. The design choices aim to improve load times and development efficiency, making it a valuable resource for those looking to optimize their Vue.js applications.

Features

• Multiple Library and CSS Separation: Avoids the use of commonChunk plugin, generating separate configuration files for libraries and CSS, which ensures that CSS hot updates function seamlessly during development.

• Local Server with Hot Update and Data Mocking: Implements a local server with hot reload capabilities for a smoother development experience, along with easy data mocking configurations.

• LocalStorage Data Writing: Utilizes the bowl library to manage JavaScript’s interaction with localStorage, resulting in a 23% reduction in DOM-ready time for faster load experiences.

• Streamlined Directory Structure: Organized setup allows developers to easily navigate and manage their project files, ensuring that everything is in its right place from the start.

• Optimized Packaging Process: Distinct handling of lib, CSS, and business files during the build process minimizes unnecessary files and enhances application performance.

• Dynamic File Mapping: Generates file maps to manage updates efficiently in localStorage, ensuring that changes are tracked and stored correctly based on MD5 checks.

• Environment-Specific Packaging: Adjusts the packaging approach depending on the environment, ensuring that developers can leverage hot updates during development while optimizing output in production.

This Vue.js boilerplate is designed to cater to both novice and experienced developers, providing the right tools to create high-performance applications while streamlining the development process.
