Mocking up web app with Vitesse^(speed)

Live Demo

Note: This template is created during the early transition of Vue 3 and Vite. At this moment, if you are seeking for better Vue developer experience and more consistent maintenance, we recommend using Nuxt 3 instead (it also works perfectly with SPA or SSG as needed). This template still serves as a reference, but expect slower updates.

pnpm dev

Build

To build the App, run

pnpm build

And you will see the generated file in dist that ready to be served.

Deploy on Netlify

Go to Netlify and select your clone, OK along the way, and your App will be live in a minute.

Docker Production Build

First, build the vitesse image by opening the terminal in the project's root directory.

docker buildx build . -t vitesse:latest

Run the image and specify port mapping with the -p flag.

docker run --rm -it -p 8080:80 vitesse:latest

Why

I have created several Vite apps recently. Setting the configs up is kinda the bottleneck for me to make the ideas simply come true within a very short time.

So I made this starter template for myself to create apps more easily, along with some good practices that I have learned from making those apps. It's strongly opinionated, but feel free to tweak it or even maintain your own forks. (see community maintained variation forks)
