Vite.js is a next-generation frontend tooling that allows for fast and efficient development of web projects. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to create a Vite.js project from scratch.
Step 1: Setting up your environment
Before you can create a Vite.js project, you will need to have Node.js and npm installed on your computer. If you do not have them installed, you can download and install them from the official website.
Step 2: Creating a new Vite.js project
To create a new Vite.js project, you can use the following command in your terminal:
npm init @vitejs/app my-vite-projectReplace my-vite-project with the name you want to give to your project. This command will prompt you to select a template for your project. You can choose from various options such as Vue, React, or Vanilla.
Once you select a template, Vite.js will create a new project folder with all the necessary files and dependencies.
Step 3: Installing dependencies
Navigate to your project folder using the cd command and then run the following command to install all the dependencies listed in the package.json file:
npm installThis will install all the necessary packages and dependencies required for your Vite.js project.
Step 4: Running the development server
To start the development server and run your Vite.js project, run the following command in your terminal:
npm run devThis will start the development server and open your project in the browser. You can now start building your project, making changes to your code, and seeing the results in real-time.
Step 5: Building your project for production
Once you have finished developing your Vite.js project, you can build it for production by running the following command:
npm run buildThis will create a production-ready build of your project in the dist folder. You can then deploy this build to a web server or hosting platform.
And that’s it! You have successfully created a Vite.js project from scratch. Happy coding!
