There are so many ways we can build Vue apps and ship for production. One way is to build the Vue app with NodeJS or Java and another way is to build the Vue.js and serve that static content with the NGINX web server. With NodeJS we have to deal with the server code as well, for example, you need to load index.html page with node.

In this post, we will see the details and implementation with the NodeJS. We will go through step by step with an example.

Introduction

Vue.js is a Progressive JavaScript Framework for building web apps and it doesn’t load itself in the browser. We need some kind of mechanism that loads the index.html (single page) of Vue application with all the dependencies(CSS and js files) in the browser. In this case, we are using node as the webserver which loads Vue assets and accepts any API calls from the Vue UI app.
