## Building the app
Start by building the Vue app from scratch.
### Initialize an Ionic Vue app
Use the [Ionic CLI](https://ionicframework.com/docs/cli) to initialize an app called `supabase-ionic-vue`:
```bash
npm install -g @ionic/cli
ionic start supabase-ionic-vue blank --type vue
cd supabase-ionic-vue
```
Install the only additional dependency: [supabase-js](https://github.com/supabase/supabase-js)
```bash
npm install @supabase/supabase-js
```
Save the environment variables in a `.env` file, including the API URL and key that you copied [earlier](#get-api-details).
<$CodeTabs>
```bash name=.env
VUE_APP_SUPABASE_URL=YOUR_SUPABASE_URL
VUE_APP_SUPABASE_KEY=YOUR_SUPABASE_KEY
```
</$CodeTabs>
With the API credentials in place, create a helper file to initialize the Supabase client. These variables will be exposed on the browser, and that's fine since Supabase enables [Row Level Security](/docs/guides/auth#row-level-security) on Databases by default.
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/ionic-vue-user-management/src/supabase.ts"
lines={[[1, -1]]}
meta="name=src/supabase.ts"
/>
### Set up a login route
Create a Vue component to manage logins and sign ups that uses Magic Links, so users can sign in with their email without using passwords.
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/ionic-vue-user-management/src/views/Login.vue"
lines={[[1, -1]]}
meta="name=src/views/Login.vue"
/>
### Account page
After a user has signed in, let them edit their profile details and manage their account with a new component called `Account.vue`.
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/ionic-vue-user-management/src/views/Account.vue"
lines={[[1, 9], [11, 67], [69, -1]]}
meta="name=src/views/Account.vue"
/>
### Launch!
With all the components in place, update `App.vue` and the app routes:
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/ionic-vue-user-management/src/router/index.ts"
lines={[[1, -1]]}
meta="name=src/router/index.ts"
/>
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/ionic-vue-user-management/src/App.vue"
lines={[[1, -1]]}
meta="name=src/App.vue"
/>
Once that's done, run this in a terminal window:
```bash
ionic serve
```
And then open the browser to [localhost:8100](http://localhost:8100) 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
First install two packages to interact with the user's camera.
```bash
npm install @ionic/pwa-elements @capacitor/camera
```
[Capacitor](https://capacitorjs.com) is a cross-platform native runtime from Ionic that enables you to deploy web apps to app stores and provides access to native device API.
Ionic PWA elements is a companion package that polyfills certain browser APIs that provide no user interface with custom Ionic UI.
With those packages installed, update `main.ts` to include an additional bootstrapping call for the Ionic PWA Elements.
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/ionic-vue-user-management/src/main.ts"
lines={[[1, -1]]}
meta="name=src/main.ts"
/>
Then create an `AvatarComponent`.
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/ionic-vue-user-management/src/components/Avatar.vue"
lines={[[1, -1]]}
meta="name=src/components/Avatar.vue"
/>
### Add the new widget
And then add the widget to the Account page:
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/ionic-vue-user-management/src/views/Account.vue"
lines={[[1, -1]]}
meta="name=src/views/Account.vue"
/>
At this stage you have a fully functional application!
