In the process of learning vue-cli, I saw the configuration of config/index.js
used by others to integrate vue-cli with the back-end framework as follows
// see http://vuejs-templates.github.io/webpack for documentation.
var path = require('path')
module.exports = {
build: {
env: require('./prod.env'),
index: path.resolve(__dirname, '../dist/index.html'),
assetsRoot: path.resolve(__dirname, '../dist'),
assetsSubDirectory: 'static',
assetsPublicPath: '/',
productionSourceMap: true,
// Gzip off by default as many popular static hosts such as
// Surge or Netlify already gzip all static assets for you.
// Before setting to `true`, make sure to:
// npm install --save-dev compression-webpack-plugin
productionGzip: false,
productionGzipExtensions: ['js', 'css'],
// Run the build command with an extra argument to
// View the bundle analyzer report after build finishes:
// `npm run build --report`
// Set to `true` or `false` to always turn it on or off
bundleAnalyzerReport: process.env.npm_config_report
},
dev: {
env: require('./dev.env'),
port: 8080,
autoOpenBrowser: true,
assetsSubDirectory: 'static',
assetsPublicPath: '/',
proxyTable: {},
// CSS Sourcemaps off by default because relative paths are "buggy"
// with this option, according to the CSS-Loader README
// (https://github.com/webpack/css-loader#sourcemaps)
// In our experience, they generally work as expected,
// just be aware of this issue when enabling this option.
cssSourceMap: false
}What I don’t understand is why the build environment of the two environments has assetsRoot but the dev environment does not. The other reason is that dev does not package and generate compressed files. Why should assetsSubDirectory and assetsPublicPath be provided. Newbie please squirt
