i have tried vue cli 3 and also 2..and installed different vue-loader..but the result is same my babble.config.js file->

const { VueLoaderPlugin } = require("vue-loader"); module.exports = {   presets: ["@vue/cli-plugin-babel/preset"],   plugins: [new VueLoaderPlugin()], }; 

package.json

also do suggest me how to setup a project safely with vuex and vue-router

Answer 1

Try to just install the pacakge to devDependencies:

npm i --save-dev vue-loader-v16

It helped me out.

With babble.config.js do you then mean babel.config.js, hehe? Anyhow, I think your babel.config.js should just be like this:

module.exports = {     presets: ["@vue/cli-plugin-babel/preset"], }; 

And for keeping your package.json more clean, you could make an .eslintrc.js file instead - just copy/paste the data from your eslintConfig key in package.json
