Answer 1

The vue-cli tool (version 2.8.0) has a build command that you can run to build an individual component.

vue build Component.vue --prod --lib

This will create an optimized bundle in UMD format, and the name of exported library is set to Component, you can use --lib [CustomLibraryName] to customize it.

You can take the built script and include it in your file like you are in your question. Technically it does use webpack under the hood, but you do not have to configure anything.
