Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a fast development experience by leveraging the power of ES modules. In this guide, we will show you how to set up a new React.js project with Vite in just a few simple steps.

Step 1: Install Vite

First, make sure you have Node.js installed on your machine. You can then install Vite globally by running the following command:

npm install -g create-vite

Step 2: Create a New Project

Next, create a new React.js project using Vite by running the following command:

create-vite my-react-app --template react

This command will create a new directory called my-react-app with a basic React.js project setup.

Step 3: Start the Development Server

Go into the newly created directory and start the development server by running the following command:

cd my-react-app
npm run dev

This will start a local development server at http://localhost:3000 where you can preview your React.js project.

Step 4: Build for Production

Once you are ready to deploy your React.js project, you can build it for production by running the following command:

npm run build

This will create an optimized bundle of your project in the dist directory.
