Production-ready Vue 3 + Vite + Vercel project scaffolder. One command creates a full-stack app with Tailwind CSS v4, Pinia state management, optional Vue Router, serverless API routes, automated testing, and pre-commit formatting hooks. Cross-platform CLI that detects your package manager and gets out of your way.
Setting up a new Vue project meant stitching together a dozen tools manually: Vite, Tailwind CSS, router, state, linting, formatting, testing, serverless functions, git hooks. Every new project was an hour of configuration before writing your first line of real code.
# The old way: 20+ manual steps
npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template vue
cd my-app
npm install
npm install -D @tailwindcss/vite tailwindcss
npm install pinia vue-router @unhead/vue
npm install -D vitest @vue/test-utils jsdom
npm install -D eslint prettier husky
# ...then manually configure each one, create vercel.json, write hooks...# The new way: one command
npm create vvv@latest my-app
cd my-app
npm run devCross-platform CLI auto-detects npm, pnpm, yarn, or bun. Non-interactive mode for CI/CD. No shell scripting, no platform gotchas.
Loaded via @tailwindcss/vite.
No config file needed. Optional DaisyUI component library.
Vercel serverless functions live in api/.
Environment variables pre-configured for frontend and backend.
Vitest + Vue Test Utils for testing. ESLint v9 + Prettier for code quality. Husky pre-commit hook auto-formats every commit.
