If you don't want the hassle of installing and configuring your system before you can have a taste of NativeScript-Vue, the NativeScript Playground has you covered.

But if you already have your system ready for native development, you can start by using the vue-cli-template:

Supported features

• .vue single file components
• Vuex—state management (opt-in)
• NativeScript themes
• Application presets

Note: If you choose to install DevTools, you won't be able to use tns preview, as the Preview app doesn't support one of the plugins DevTools uses.

$ npm install -g @vue/cli @vue/cli-init
$ vue init nativescript-vue/vue-cli-template <project-name>
$ cd <project-name>
$
$ npm install
$ # or
$ yarn install
$
$ tns preview
$ # or
$ tns run

This set of commands performs the following operations on your system:

1. Installs the latest Vue CLI and support for Vue CLI 2.x templates through the @vue/cli-init add-on.
2. Creates a project using the vue-cli-template.
3. Switches to the directory containing the newly created project.
4. Installs any npm dependencies locally.
5. If executing tns preview, produces a QR code which can be used to preview the app on a device.
6. If executing tns run, builds and runs the project on all connected devices or in native emulators.
