Creating a vue app based on web-pack simple template using vue-cli 3.X

Question

I'm following a tutorial on a site about creating SPA. At some point it instructs to init the vue app this way:

vue init webpack-simple my-project

This, doesn't work for me. After 1 hour of searching through stack overflow I have found that for vue-cli 3.x (the version I'm using) the syntax has changed and now I must use:

vue create my-project

My question is, how do I init a project based on the webpack-simple template. This way of initing/creating a project asks some questions when the command is executed, but it says nothing about webpack. So, I'm a bit confused.

Thanks in advance.

"This, doesn't work for me." Could you explain more what issues are you running into? — yuriy636

Init the project and find for yourself. In cli 3.0 you have no strict template, but a wizard or standard bundle based on webpack that can be treated as "simple". — Maciej Kwas

vue cli 3 has moved on to implement a plugin based approach rather than template-based approach.

If you still want to create a project using init you can install a global bridge:

npm install -g @vue/cli-init
# vue init now works exactly the same as [email protected]
vue init webpack-simple my-project

Reference - Pulling 2.x template

The project created by vue cli 3 uses webpack under the hood. The webpack configuration(webpack.config.js) is created at runtime. You should use vue.config.js to configure webpack
