How to run production site after build vue cli
I'm using VueCLI 2 and build as production. THe build.js is built and compiled into 200KB. When I re-run the server as development, it loaded 3MB. I'm sure the build.js inside dist folder is 200KB. I tried to open index.html but it doesn't work and redirect to root directory on website.
Package.json
"scripts": {
"dev": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development webpack-dev-server --open --hot",
"build": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production webpack --progress --hide-modules"
},
Webpack
module.exports = { ...
module:{
...
plugins: [
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
$: 'jquery',
jquery: 'jquery',
'window.jQuery': 'jquery',
jQuery: 'jquery'
})
],
devtool: '#eval-source-map'
},
...
}
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
module.exports.devtool = '#source-map'
// http://vue-loader.vuejs.org/en/workflow/production.html
module.exports.plugins = (module.exports.plugins || []).concat([
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env': {
NODE_ENV: '"production"'
}
}),
new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin({
sourceMap: true,
compress: {
warnings: true
}
}),
new webpack.LoaderOptionsPlugin({
minimize: true
}),
new webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin({
name: 'vendor',
minChunks: function (module) {
return module.context && module.context.indexOf('node_modules') !== -1;
}
})
])
}
HTML
<body>
<script src="/dist/vendor.js"></script>
<script src="/dist/main.js"></script>
</body>
Command
npm run build
npm run dev
Answer
npm run build creates a dist directory with a production build of your app.
In order to serve index.html in a browser you need an HTTP server.
For example serve:
npm install -g serve
serve -s dist
The default port is 5000, but can be adjusted using the -l or --listen flags:
serve -s build -l 4000
