The Vue JS crash course by Traversy did not include the build process for the completed application, so I tried this out after the video ended.

That 5-minute video that starts on clicking created a video at vuejs.org/v2/guide/index.html actually took a lot longer than five minutes for me to complete as I was coding the application being demonstrated as I went along.
