Overview

Scaffolding is the predefined creation of the basic structure of a project, including files, folders, configurations and general settings. Specifically in the case of a Vue project, scaffolding refers to the setup and organization of files and folders that form the foundation of the project, establishing a coherent structure that is ready for development.

Typical characteristics of scaffolding in a Vue project include:

• Organized Structure: Scaffolding establishes a folder and file structure that follows Vue's best practices and conventions. This ensures that the project is easy to navigate and comprehend.
• Configuration Files: It includes essential configuration files for building, packaging and running the project. This might involve files like package.json, babel.config.js, webpack.config.js and others.
• Component Templates: It provides templates for creating components. These templates can contain basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript structure to facilitate the creation of new components.
• Dependency Management: It sets up an list of dependencies and packages that are essential for Vue development, such as Vue Router, Vuex and other common libraries.
• Routing Configuration (optional): If the project includes routing, the scaffolding might provide a Vue Router configuration.
• Global State Configuration (optional): If the project uses Vuex or another global state management solution, scaffolding could include an setup for state management.
• Development Tools (optional): Includes development tools like linters, CSS preprocessors and initial testing configurations.
