vue.jsHow do I use Vue.js to build a development environment?

1. Setting up a Vue.js development environment is relatively easy and straightforward.
2. To begin, you'll need to install the Vue CLI, which is a command line tool for scaffolding Vue projects. You can do this by running the following command: npm install -g @vue/cli.
3. Once the CLI is installed, you can create a new project by running vue create <project-name>. This will create a new project with all the necessary files and folders.
4. Once the project is created, you can start the development server by running npm run serve. This will start a local development server with hot-reloading enabled.
5. You can then open localhost:8080 in your browser to view the application.
6. You can also add plugins to your project, such as the Vue Router, by running vue add <plugin-name>.
7. Finally, you can build the project for production by running npm run build, which will create a minified version of the application in the dist folder.

Example code block:

// install Vue CLI
npm install -g @vue/cli

// create new project
vue create <project-name>

// start development server
npm run serve

// add plugin
vue add <plugin-name>

// build project for production
npm run build

Output of example code:

> vue create <project-name>
