Running the development server

The development server is a useful tool for when you’re working on your application locally (from your own computer). When the development server is running, you can access a local copy of your site via your computer's web browser. This is useful if you want to test out changes to your application before you publish a new version of your app to a staging or production environment.

To start the development server, enter the command npm run serve into the command line. This will serve the your application locally, and will rebuild as you make changes to your code. The generated files used to serve your application will appear in the dist directory.

You can access the local copy of your application at http://localhost:8080 for as long as the development server is running.
