## Building the app
Start building the Vue 3 app from scratch.
### Initialize a Vue 3 app
This guide uses [Vite with Vue 3 Template](https://vitejs.dev/guide/#scaffolding-your-first-vite-project) to initialize
an app called `supabase-vue-3`:
```bash
# npm 6.x
npm create vite@latest supabase-vue-3 --template vue
# npm 7+, extra double-dash is needed:
npm create vite@latest supabase-vue-3 -- --template vue
cd supabase-vue-3
```
Then install the only additional dependency: [supabase-js](https://github.com/supabase/supabase-js)
```bash
npm install @supabase/supabase-js
```
And finally save the environment variables in a `.env` file, you need the API URL and the key that you copied [earlier](#get-api-details).
<$CodeTabs>
```bash name=.env
VITE_SUPABASE_URL=YOUR_SUPABASE_URL
VITE_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=YOUR_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY
```
</$CodeTabs>
With the API credentials in place, create an `src/supabase.js` helper file to initialize the Supabase client. These variables are exposed
on the browser, and that's fine since you have [Row Level Security](/docs/guides/auth#row-level-security) enabled on the Database.
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/vue3-user-management/src/supabase.js"
lines={[[1, -1]]}
meta="name=src/supabase.js"
/>
Optionally, update [src/style.css](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/supabase/supabase/master/examples/user-management/vue3-user-management/src/style.css) to style the app.
### Set up a login component
Set up an `src/components/Auth.vue` component to manage to add Magic Links as an option, so users can sign in with their email without using passwords.
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/vue3-user-management/src/components/Auth.vue"
lines={[[1, -1]]}
meta="name=src/components/Auth.vue"
/>
### Account page
After a user signs in, allow them to edit their profile details and manage their account.
Create a new `src/components/Account.vue` component to handle this.
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/vue3-user-management/src/components/Account.vue"
lines={[[1, -1]]}
meta="name=src/components/Account.vue"
/>
### Launch!
With all the components in place, update `App.vue`:
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/vue3-user-management/src/App.vue"
lines={[[1, -1]]}
meta="name=src/App.vue"
/>
Once that's done, run this in a terminal window:
```bash
npm run dev
```
And then open the browser to [localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173) and you should see the completed app.

## Bonus: Profile photos
Every Supabase project is configured with [Storage](/docs/guides/storage) for managing large files like photos and videos.
### Create an upload widget
Create a new `src/components/Avatar.vue` component that allows users to upload profile photos:
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/vue3-user-management/src/components/Avatar.vue"
lines={[[1, -1]]}
meta="name=src/components/Avatar.vue"
/>
### Add the new widget
Finally, add the widget to the Account page.
The `Account.vue` component [shown earlier](#account-page) already includes the `Avatar` component.
At this stage you have a fully functional application!
