## What it is
The official vue-cli 2 project template that scaffolds a full-featured Vue 2 + Webpack setup with vue-loader, hot reload, lint-on-save, unit/e2e testing, and CSS extraction. It is now deprecated since Vue CLI 3 incorporates all of its features.

## Use cases
- scaffold a Vue 2 project with webpack
- set up a Vue app with hot reload and lint-on-save
- bootstrap a vue-cli webpack template project
- configure a production webpack build for Vue single-file components
- start a Vue project with unit and e2e testing preconfigured

## When to choose
- maintaining or auditing a legacy Vue 2 app generated with vue-cli 2
- you need a reference webpack + vue-loader configuration
- forking the template to keep an older webpack-based Vue workflow alive

## When to avoid
- starting any new Vue project - use Vue CLI 3+ or Vite instead
- building with Vue 3, which this template does not support
- you want actively maintained tooling, since this template is deprecated

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance

- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
