How do I get started? (development)

1. Install VueFront CMS Connect App on your site and copy the CMS Connect URL.
2. Install VueFront app. (requires node.js >= 8, git, and yarn)

# Create VueFront app. replace <project-name> with vuefront
yarn create vuefront-app <project-name>
# OR npx create-vuefront-app <project-name>

yarn dev

Switch to production

1. build your App

# build the app
yarn build

2. Copy the contents of your app from /dist to your root folder of your CMS where it is hosted.

3. Configure your hosting to load index.html first. This can be a bit tricky.

For OpenCart CMS you can use this:

• Apache

# for VueFront to work you need to load index.html before any other index file
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

• Nginx

# for VueFront to work you need to load index.html before any other index file
index index.html index.php;

# when visiting any other url, it should forward to the root index.html file
location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
}
