⚡ vite-react-ts-tailwind-starter

Starter using Vite + React + TypeScript + Tailwind.

Motivation

Improve building your faster prototyping by using Vite, TypeScript, React, TailwindCSS.

This starter uses following libraries:

  • Vite
  • React
    • React Router
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS
    • daisyUI
  • ESLint
  • Prettier

Set up

mv .env.local.example .env.local
yarn
yarn dev

Vite

Vite is a fast frontend build tool. According to the README, it consists of two major parts:

  • A dev server that serves your source files over native ES modules, with rich built-in features and astonishingly fast Hot Module Replacement (HMR).
  • A build command that bundles your code with Rollup, pre-configured to output highly optimized static assets for production.

React

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

Due to its awesome renderer system, there are many React Renderor. So React can be not used only Web, for example, used by React Native.

Let's dive into React and Vite can use with React.

TypeScript

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript. It is just one of NPM library, but it provides an original compiler.

When you use TypeScript with React, you can write JSX with TypeScript, called TSX. Then you can develop views written by Type-Safe template.

Tailwind CSS

Tailwind CSS is modern utility-first CSS framework. It provides many CSS rules, but these are purged when production builds. So developers do not worry about CSS asset size for performance optimization.

In VSCode, I recommend to use intellisense extension.

Frequently, React developers are worried about how to write CSS in TSX(JSX) template. You must choose from CSS Modules, styled-components, linaria, and so on. Additionally, CSS architecture is difficult about scoping, e.g. BEM, FLOCSS.

When you decide to use Tailwind, you only write utility-first CSS classes, you don't have to worry about them!

daisyUI

daisyUI is Tailwind CSS Components library.

It prepares components CSS classes such as 'btn'. If you provide 'btn' class to <button> element, then there should be placed completely designed button.

If you don't want to use it, just remove the package and remove config in tailwind.config.js.

Formatter and Linter

Already set up ESLint and Prettier. You can customize the rules.
