## What it is
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
