## What it is
electron-vue is a boilerplate for building Electron desktop applications with Vue.js, scaffolded via vue-cli. It bundles webpack with vue-loader, hot module replacement, common Vue plugins (vue-router, vuex, axios), electron-packager/electron-builder packaging, and unit/e2e testing setups.

## Use cases
- start a new electron app with vue
- scaffold a vue desktop application
- boilerplate for electron + vue with webpack
- package a vue app for desktop with electron-builder
- set up unit and e2e testing for an electron vue app
- hot reload development for electron vue projects

## When to choose
- starting a new Electron app with Vue 2 and want batteries included
- you want preconfigured webpack, testing, and packaging out of the box
- you prefer vue-cli scaffolding and detailed documentation

## When to avoid
- you use Vue 3 or Vite-based tooling
- you need an actively maintained template with recent Electron versions
- you prefer minimal starter templates you configure yourself
