Vue 3
How to create an Electron app with Vue and Electron Forge
Vue 3 can be added to Electron Forge's Vite template with a few setup steps.
The following guide has been tested with Vue 3 and Vite 4.
npm init electron-app@latest my-vue-app -- --template=vite
Add the
vue
npm package to your dependencies
and the @vitejs/plugin-vue
package to your devDependencies
:npm install vue
npm install --save-dev @vitejs/plugin-vue
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:
src/index.html
src/App.vue
src/renderer.js
vite.renderer.config.mjs
Replace the contents of
src/index.html
with a <div>
element with the #app
id attribute.<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Hello World!</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="app"></div>
<script type="module" src="/src/renderer.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Add the contents from the template back to
src/App.vue
.<template>
<h1>💖 Hello World!</h1>
<p>Welcome to your Electron application.</p>
</template>
<script setup>
console.log('👋 This message is being logged by "App.vue", included via Vite');
</script>
Mount
App.vue
into the DOM with Vue's createApp
API.import { createApp } from 'vue';
import App from './App.vue';
createApp(App).mount('#app');
Configure the Vue plugin for Vite.js.
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';
// https://vitejs.dev/config
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [vue()]
});
