How do I get started? (development)

  1. Install VueFront CMS Connect App on your site and copy the CMS Connect URL.
  2. Install VueFront app. (requires node.js >= 8, git, and yarn)
# Create VueFront app. replace <project-name> with vuefront
yarn create vuefront-app <project-name>
# OR npx create-vuefront-app <project-name>

yarn dev

Switch to production

  1. build your App
# build the app
yarn build
  1. Copy the contents of your app from /dist to your root folder of your CMS where it is hosted.

  2. Configure your hosting to load index.html first. This can be a bit tricky.

For OpenCart CMS you can use this:

  • Apache
# for VueFront to work you need to load index.html before any other index file
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
  • Nginx
# for VueFront to work you need to load index.html before any other index file
index index.html index.php;

# when visiting any other url, it should forward to the root index.html file
location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
}
