This project contains the initial setup for a Vue v3 CLI project that uses Socket.io and MongoDB for player to player interaction. I found myself repeating the same setup code over and over again, so this project is a starting point for all of the future socket game projects I plan on making. Project is not yet complete (as of July 22nd, 2019)
This project requires Vue3 CLI, NodeJS, MongoDB (running as a service)
npm install
npm install -g nodemon
Then update the server/settings.js file to include your individual project settings
npm run api
npm run dev
These commands need to be run in two separate terminals, so that you can run the Vue webpack server as well as the backend express server. API calls are proxied to the backend via the package.json file settings. The API task is configured with nodemon so that it will auto-refresh upon dev changes. Product builds will not require the two tasks, since everything will be run on the express server.
npm run build
Then upload the directory to your server and run the server.js file
