Vue-cli: Provide option to create blank App.vue without HelloWorld.vue

[lloydjatkinson]

What problem does this feature solve?

Developers with Vue experience do not need the App.vue component to display Vue ecosystem links (as they are already familiar with them) and do not need the HelloWorld.vue component either.

Deleting them is an extra step to perform when the new project has been made. Implementing this feature removes this extra step.

What does the proposed API look like?

An extra toggle option in the following menu:

Vue CLI v3.0.0-rc.10
? Please pick a preset: Manually select features
? Check the features needed for your project: Babel, Linter, Unit
? Pick a linter / formatter config: Basic
? Pick additional lint features: Lint on save
? Pick a unit testing solution: Jest
? Where do you prefer placing config for Babel, PostCSS, ESLint, etc.? In dedicated config files
? Save this as a preset for future projects? No
? Scaffold ecosystem links and HelloWorld component? [Default: Yes]

Thanks for opening this issue, I 100% agree.

Scaffold ecosystem links and HelloWorld component

Confusing terminology to a newcomer. Most beginners will have no idea what this means. I think it better to leave things as they are. The time taken to remove the default example boilerplate is trivial compared to the potential confusion to new users.

A more user friendly message could be used instead.

While of course the essage could be improved, I still think that it's more valuable to provide a good example setup for newcomers than it is to save seasoned devs from 30 seconds of deleting 2 files and 5 lines of code.

If we choose to implement this, I would rather do it as a cli flag, maybe? --skip-default-scaffold or something.

This moves it outside of the immediate focus of a beginner who follows the happy path of simply running vue create [project name]

Even in a world where I was making a new project every day I don't think that this trade-off would be worth the added confusion in onboarding new developers to the ecosystem. The onslaught of configuration questions is intimidating - it should be as short as possible.

A flag sounds reasonable.

Maybe vue create name --bare
