A Vue CLI plugin that integrates Electron into Vue.js projects, letting developers serve and build their web app as a cross-platform desktop application. It extends the existing Vue CLI/webpack configuration and wraps electron-builder for packaging.

Use cases

• turn a vue app into a desktop app
• build electron app from vue cli project
• package vue.js app for windows mac and linux
• run hot-reload dev server for electron vue app
• add electron to existing vue-cli project

When to choose

• you have a Vue CLI 3/4 project and want to ship it as a desktop app
• you want electron-builder packaging with minimal config
• you want to keep your existing Vue plugins and webpack setup

When to avoid

• you use Vite instead of Vue CLI (use electron-vite or similar)
• you need a framework-agnostic Electron setup without Vue
• you need a plugin actively developed for the latest Electron/Vue versions
