Recently there has been a lot of discussion around the tooling hurdle when you start a React project. Luckily for Vue.js, all you need to do to start with a quick prototype is including it from a CDN via a <script> tag, so we’ve got that part covered. However, that’s not how you’d build a real world application. 





In real world applications we inevitably need a certain amount of tooling to give us modularization, transpilers, pre-processors, hot-reload, linting and testing. These tools are necessary for the long-term maintainability and productivity of large projects, but the initial setup can be a big pain. This is why we are announcing vue-cli, a simple CLI tool to help you quickly scaffold Vue.js projects with opinionated, battery-included build setups.
