Question

What are presets?

Answer 1

A Vue CLI preset is a JSON object that contains pre-defined options and plugins for creating a new project without interactive prompts to select them. During project creation(using vue create), the presets will be saved in a ~/.vuerc which can modified at any time.

For example, the generated JSON object(or preset) would be as below

{
  "useConfigFiles": true,
  "router": true,
  "vuex": true,
  "cssPreprocessor": "sass",
  "plugins": {
    "@vue/cli-plugin-babel": {},
    "@vue/cli-plugin-eslint": {
      "config": "airbnb",
      "lintOn": ["save", "commit"]
    }
  }
}
