3. Add npm scripts
4. Run npm run serve

Install VUSSR

npm i vussr --save # yarn add vussr

Create Entry Points

By default, VUSSR looks for 2 files as entry points, one for your client and one for your server:

root
 ∟ src
    ∟ entry.client.js
    ∟ entry.server.js

entry.server.js is the base file for your server. This file has to have a function as default export that returns an instance of your Vue app.

entry.client.js is the base file for your client code. Any code that will be sent to and executed in the client needs to be included or imported in the in this file. Usually, you will want to import and mount your the same app that you used in your server entrypoint.

👉 Please refer to this example app for a very basic setup

Add npm Scripts

{
  "scripts": {
    "serve": "vussr serve",
    "build": "vussr build",
    "start": "vussr start"
  }
}

Develop Your App

npm run serve

Simply run npm run serve to start your app on a development server (Webpack DevServer). It will automatically recompile your code on file changes and serve them on http://127.0.0.1:8080. You can configure the port and other Webpack DevServer related options. See Configuration.

Create a Production Build

npm run build

To run your app in production you need to create a production build and then start your production server with it. To create a production build run npm run build.

Run the Produciton Server

npm run start

Once you have created your production build your can start your production server with npm run start.
