System Requirements

Sign up for Edgio

Deploying requires an account on Edgio. Sign up here for free.

Install the Edgio CLI

If you have not already done so, install the Edgio CLI.
Bash
1npm i -g @edgio/cli@latest

Create a new Ionic Vue app

If you don’t already have a Ionic Vue app, create one by running the following:
Bash
1npm install -g @ionic/cli
2ionic start myApp tabs --type vue
3cd myApp
You can verify your app works by running it locally with:
Bash
1npm run start

Configuring your Ionic Vue app for Edgio

Initialize your project

In the root directory of your project run edgio init:
Bash
1edgio init --edgioVersion latest
This will automatically update your package.json and add all of the required Edgio dependencies and files to your project. These include:
  • The @edgio/core package - Allows you to declare routes and deploy your application on Edgio
  • The @edgio/prefetch package - Allows you to configure a service worker to prefetch and cache pages to improve browsing speed
  • edgio.config.js - A configuration file for Edgio
  • routes.js - A default routes file that sends all requests to Ionic Vue.

Configure the routes

Update routes.js at the root of your project to the following:
JavaScript
1// This file was added by edgio init.
2// You should commit this file to source control.
3

4import { Router } from "@edgio/core/router";
5

6export default new Router()
7  .match('/:path*', ({ serveStatic }) => {
8    serveStatic("dist/index.html")
9  })
10  // Create serveStatic route for each file in the folder dist with a cache-control header of 's-maxage=315360000'
11  .static('dist')
Refer to the CDN-as-code guide for the full syntax of the routes.js file and how to configure it for your use case.

Run the Ionic Vue app locally on Edgio

Create a production build of your app by running the following in your project’s root directory:
Bash
1npm run build
Test your app with the Sites on your local machine by running the following command in your project’s root directory:
Bash
1edgio dev
Load the site http://127.0.0.1:3000

Deploying

Create a production build of your app by running the following in your project’s root directory:
Bash
1npm run build
Deploy your app to the Sites by running the following command in your project’s root directory:
Bash
1edgio deploy
Your initial CDN-as-code deployment will generate system-defined origin configurations along with those defined within your edgio.config.js. Learn more about system-defined origins.
Refer to the Deployments guide for more information on the deploy command and its options.
