# Vue 3 Vue 3 can be added to Electron Forge's Vite template with a few setup steps. {% hint style="info" %} The following guide has been tested with Vue 3 and Vite 4. {% endhint %} ## Setting up the app Create an Electron app using Electron Forge's [Vite](/templates/vite.md) template. ```bash npx create-electron-app@latest my-vue-app --template=vite ``` ## Adding dependencies Add the `vue` npm package to your `dependencies` and the `@vitejs/plugin-vue` package to your `devDependencies`: ```bash npm install vue npm install --save-dev @vitejs/plugin-vue ``` ## Integrating Vue 3 code You should now be able to start using Vue components in your Electron app. The following is a very minimal example of how to start to add Vue 3 code: {% tabs %} {% tab title="src/index.html" %} Replace the contents of `src/index.html` with a `
` element with the `#app` id attribute. ```html Hello World!
``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="src/App.vue" %} Add the contents from the template back to `src/App.vue`. ```vue ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="src/renderer.js" %} Mount `App.vue` into the DOM with Vue's `createApp` API. ```javascript import { createApp } from 'vue'; import App from './App.vue'; createApp(App).mount('#app'); ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="vite.renderer.config.mjs" %} Configure the Vue plugin for Vite.js. ```javascript import { defineConfig } from 'vite'; import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'; // https://vitejs.dev/config export default defineConfig({ plugins: [vue()] }); ``` {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
