## Quick start
Go to [draw.io](https://www.draw.io) create a new file and use the UML objects in order to create your components tree. Be aware, use only the labelled as an **object** (the fist one).

You can use arrows to link the components, the relation parent-children is express by having an arrow from the **children** to the **parent**

If you want to also inclued a file into your component you need to use the specific arrow **use**

That means that, for example, the file *Home.vue* will import file *User.vue*.
Once you have finished your application you must export it as XML **not compressed**
Then, to create your components, open the terminal and type
```
drawio2vuejs --xml=<pathToYourXml> --dist=<pathToYourVuejsApp>
```
For help
```
drawio2vuejs --help
```
## Pro Tip
You can fast use the *vue-cli* in order to create an app and then use our program to ovveride *App.vue* and the components folder.
