What is ew-auto-import-tool?#

ew-auto-import-tool is a command-line tool for automatically configuring on-demand imports of component libraries in Vue projects. It helps developers quickly set up popular component libraries such as Element Plus, Ant Design Vue, etc., without manually modifying configuration files.

Why do we need this tool?#

When using component libraries in Vue projects, it's common to configure on-demand imports to optimize performance. This involves several steps:
