Why this matters

Before you can write a single Vue component, you need a build pipeline in place. Nextcloud app frontends are written in Vue 3 and compiled by Webpack before the browser ever sees them — raw .vue files and modern JavaScript syntax need to be transformed into something browsers understand.

This module gets that pipeline working. It's a one-time setup; once it's in place, Module 6 and everything after can focus entirely on building features.
