Introduction

This guide covers deploying Vue.js applications on Shard Cloud.

​
Creating Your Project

Ensure you have Node.js and npm installed.

​
Creating a New Vue Project

npm create vue@latest
cd my-vue-app
npm install

​
Building Your Project

Build the production output: 
npm run build
This creates a dist/ folder with optimized static files.

​
Serving Your Vue App

Vue apps are static files that need a server:

​
Using serve

Update package.json:
package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "vite build",
    "serve": "serve -s dist -l 80"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "serve": "^14.0.0"
  }
}

​
Using Express

Create a server.js file:
server.js
const express = require('express');
const path = require('path');

const app = express();

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'dist')));

app.get('*', (req, res) => {
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'dist', 'index.html'));
});

app.listen(80, () => {
  console.log('Server running on port 80');
});

​
Shard Cloud Configuration

Create a .shardcloud file:
.shardcloud
DISPLAY_NAME=Vue App
DESCRIPTION=Vue.js Application
LANGUAGE=node
MEMORY=512
VERSION=recommended
SUBDOMAIN=my-vue-app
CUSTOM_COMMAND=npm run build && npx serve -s dist -l 80

​
Deploying

1

Build Your Application

Run npm run build locally to test.
2

Prepare Your Files

Ensure you have:
  • src/ folder
  • public/ folder
  • package.json
  • .shardcloud
  • vite.config.js
3

Exclude Unnecessary Files

Remove: node_modules/, dist/, package-lock.json
4

Create ZIP Archive

Compress your project folder.
5

Upload to Shard Cloud

Go to Shard Cloud Dashboard and upload.

Troubleshooting

  • Check for TypeScript or ESLint errors
  • Verify all dependencies are installed
Configure Vue Router to use history mode and ensure server serves index.html for all routes.
