Here’s a short practice exercise to help you get familiar with Vite:
- Create a new directory for your Vite project and open a terminal or command prompt in that directory.
- Initialize a new Node.js project with npm:csharpCopy code
npm init -y - Install Vite as a development dependency:cssCopy code
npm install vite --save-dev - Create an index.html file in your project directory with the following code:phpCopy code
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <title>My Vite App</title> </head> <body> <div id="app"></div> <script type="module" src="./src/main.js"></script> </body> </html> - Create a src directory and add a main.js file with the following code:javascriptCopy code
console.log('Hello, Vite!'); - Start the development server by running the following command:Copy code
npx vite - Open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000 to see your app running.
Now that your basic Vite project is set up, try making some changes to the main.js file and watch Vite update the app in real time using hot module replacement. You can also add more files to your project, such as CSS stylesheets or additional JavaScript modules, and import them into your main.js file using ES modules. Vite makes it easy to develop and build modern web applications, and with a little practice, you can start to take advantage of its powerful features to create fast and efficient apps.
