Take Our Vite – Frontend Build Tool Course

Vite is a modern frontend build tool that is designed to be fast and efficient. It is created by Evan You, the same developer behind Vue.js. Vite is gaining popularity among front-end developers because of its simplicity and speed.

In this tutorial, we will learn about Vite and how to use it to create a Vue.js project. We will cover the installation process, setting up a new project, and building and deploying our project.

Installation:
To get started with Vite, you will need to have Node.js installed on your machine. You can check if you have Node.js installed by running the following command in your terminal:

node -v

If you don’t have Node.js installed, you can download it from the official Node.js website (https://nodejs.org/).

Once you have Node.js installed, you can install Vite using npm by running the following command:

npm install -g create-vite

Setting Up a New Project:
To create a new Vite project, run the following command in your terminal:

create-vite my-vite-project

Replace ‘my-vite-project’ with the name of your project. This will create a new directory with the project files.

Navigate to the project directory using the following command:

cd my-vite-project

Next, you can start the development server by running the following command:

npm run dev

This will start the development server and you can view your project in your browser at http://localhost:3000.

Building and Deploying:
To build your project for production, run the following command:

npm run build

This will generate a ‘dist’ directory in your project with the production-ready files.

To deploy your project, you can use any static hosting provider like Netlify or Vercel. Simply upload the contents of the ‘dist’ directory to the hosting provider to deploy your project.

Conclusion:
In this tutorial, we have learned how to set up a new Vite project, run the development server, build the project for production, and deploy the project. Vite is a powerful build tool that is simple to use and provides fast development speeds. You can explore more features of Vite by referring to the official documentation at https://vitejs.dev/.
