About i18n

If you don't choose i18n when project initialization, you need to take a look at this description, or you can skip this step. As vue-cli does't support more ablity to run task after init, so you need to run npm run remove:i18n manually. This script doesn't change the page view which contains change locale in /client/src/components/Header.vue, you can remove those code manually.

Usage

This is a project template for vue-cli. It is recommended to use npm 3+ for a more efficient dependency tree.

# cli version must greater than 2.5.0
$ npm install -g vue-cli
$ vue init erguotou520/vue-fullstack my-project
$ cd my-project
$ npm install
# If you choose not to use vue-i18n, you need to run remove:i18n to replace the file with default locale text. If you have chosen vue-i18n, skip this step
$ npm run remove:i18n
# This runs a express server
$ npm run server
# Open other terminal and cd into my-project
# This runs a frontend dev server
$ npm run client

Configuration

Most of the configuration is concentrated in the config.js file, and most of them have explicit comments, you need to take a look at it first.

Here is some important/frequently-used configuration:

• frontend.port port that frontend server listens at
• backend.port port that backend server listen at
• backend.secrets.session secret for session, important when you deploy your app, make sure it's complex enough
• backend.mongo.uri change this if your mongodb uri is not matched
• backend.serverFrontend whether to server the frontend code. If set to true the express server servers the frontend code, otherwise you may need a http server like nginx to server frontend code and there is a nginx configuration at nginx.example.conf (default true)

Environment variable

When you deploy your app to you cloud server, it's easy to config you app with environment variable, here is the supported:

• APP_port or PORT: set to backend.port
• APP_HOST or APP_IP or HOST or IP: set to backend.ip
• MONGODB_URI or MONGOHQ_URI: set to backend.mongo.uri
• SECRET: set to backend.secrets.session

Notice

The generated app is just a template to build your app system fast, maybe it can't meet your needs, so you need to do some change at this issue.
