Initialise a vue.js 3 project with webpack

Question

One used to be able to initialise a vue.js 2 project with webpack using "vue init webpack client". In vue.js 3 project, from my understanding, one needs to use "vue create" to create a new project. However, this does not initialise the project with webpack. I am not finding any example of a command replacing the one used in vue.js 2, which could be used to initialise a vue.js 3 project, but only manual steps.

Answer 1

vue create scaffolds a Vue project that uses Webpack under the hood. Webpack is a build dependency of @vue/cli-service. You'll see it listed when running npm list webpack from the root of your scaffolded project:

$ npm list webpack
