Clarification using Starter Kit and Vue Cli3, needed please

Hawkeye64

I am more or less thinking of how new perople would perceive it before they read the docs.

One other question on the starter kit.
Does the current starter kit work with Vue CLI 3 or the older one?
In the docs it says:

make sure you have vue-cli globally installed
$ yarn global add vue-cli
or:
$ npm install -g vue-cli

Node.js >= 8.9.0 is required.
$ yarn global add quasar-cli
or:
$ npm install -g quasar-cli

Does the docs need to be updated or does it mean, Quasar requires the older Vue CLI?
Thanks!

The docs already state “Vue CLI 3 Plugin”

That is if you want to go the route of Vue CLI3 Plugin and NOT the Starter Kit:

Vue CLI 3 plugin

Make sure you have vue-cli 3.x.x:

vue --version

If you don’t have a project created with vue-cli 3.x yet:

vue create my-app

Please take a look here:

@hawkeye64 Can you tell me more about your feelings regarding the “onboarding” process. This is an aspect of our communication with the devs that we really want to be succinct, but also informative. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Hi;
Although you asked hawkeye64 to give you some feedback, I’d also like to offer my two cents, to make Quasar a first class framework especially for new users getting started.

When I was looking at different libraries, Vuetify was on the top of my list. the main reason was for the their great "style " of documents, samples, being able to test the samples online and copy a working sample to our code. This provides confidence to the new user and not to get intimidated. like https://vuetifyjs.com/en/components/badges

Quasar has a lot more into it, so to start off, it’s more complex and not having seamless docs, people can easily shy away from it. I took the time to read the docs to appreciate the power and richness of Quasar, but that’s only 5% of new users.

Hope this helps.

so to start off, it’s more complex

That impression is the one we need to somehow avoid, because it isn’t true.

Hmm…I was just about to suggest another name for that part of the docs and it looks like Razvan changed it already 3 days ago. Now it is “Quasar CLI” and now that I see it there, I can go with it.

I was about to suggest something like “Developing a Core Project” to go with the other “Developings” below it.

@s-molinari

Scott, I still see “Starter Kit”
https://quasar-framework.org/guide/index.html
https://quasar-framework.org/guide/app-installation.html

Am I missing something?

s.molinari

Maybe do a Ctrl + F5?

I had done that before I posted. No need to make fun of.
Docs Still shows the old stuff.

s.molinari

Not making fun. Just a humble smile.

Are you looking at the version 17 docs?

Ahhh…I see what you mean. Thanks for the screen. A picture says a 1000 words.

I was talking about the menu on the left. That now has “Quasar CLI” instead of “Starter Kit”. Maybe there needs to be more thought put into the docs on this too.

Scott

Ben Hayat

Yes, I noticed the menu first, but all the right hand contents are still referring to starter kit.
Also, the need o fix the Vue CLi installation syntax to CLI 3.
