How to run production site after build vue cli

I'm using VueCLI 2 and build as production. THe build.js is built and compiled into 200KB. When I re-run the server as development, it loaded 3MB. I'm sure the build.js inside dist folder is 200KB. I tried to open index.html but it doesn't work and redirect to root directory on website.

Package.json

"scripts": {
  "dev": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development webpack-dev-server --open --hot",
  "build": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production webpack --progress --hide-modules"
},

Webpack

module.exports = { ...
module:{
 ...
 plugins: [
  new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
    $: 'jquery',
    jquery: 'jquery',
    'window.jQuery': 'jquery',
    jQuery: 'jquery'
  })
 ],
 devtool: '#eval-source-map'
},
...
}

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
  module.exports.devtool = '#source-map'
  // http://vue-loader.vuejs.org/en/workflow/production.html
  module.exports.plugins = (module.exports.plugins || []).concat([
   new webpack.DefinePlugin({
    'process.env': {
     NODE_ENV: '"production"'
   }
  }),
  new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin({
    sourceMap: true,
    compress: {
     warnings: true
    }
  }),
  new webpack.LoaderOptionsPlugin({
    minimize: true
  }),
  new webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin({
    name: 'vendor',
    minChunks: function (module) {
      return module.context && module.context.indexOf('node_modules') !== -1;
    }
  })
 ])
}

HTML

<body>
  <script src="/dist/vendor.js"></script>
  <script src="/dist/main.js"></script>
</body>

Command

npm run build

npm run dev

Solution

  • npm run build creates a dist directory with a production build of your app.

    In order to serve index.html in a browser you need an HTTP server.

    For example serve:

    npm install -g serve
serve -s dist

    The default port is 5000, but can be adjusted using the -l or --listen flags:

    serve -s build -l 4000
