Starter Kit for Vite, React, TypeScript, Tailwind and Node.js ESM

Minimal, sensible defaults, fast.

Read the blog post about this template.

Technologies

• Vite
• React
• TypeScript
• Tailwind
• pnpm (Optional)

Setup

• Press the "Use this template" on the top of this repository's GitHub page.
• Run pnpm install (or npm install if you don't use pnpm).
• pnpm dev for development.
• Use pnpm test to run tests.
• pnpm build for production builds.

Note: You can install pnpm via homebrew on macOS: brew install pnpm.

Protips for the fastest Developer Experience

• Use npm-run-all to parallelize local test runs.
• Prettier and eslint have --cache flags. Use them!
• Do not run prettier inside of eslint. It commonly takes 50% of the eslint runtime!
• Automatically sort imports when running prettier/saving the document via @trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports.
• Use swc with ts-node for fast node scripts with ESM. See below ↓

Run node scripts with ESM and TypeScript, fast.

Create a script.ts file, run chmod x script.ts and execute it via ./script.ts.

#!/usr/bin/env node --no-warnings --experimental-specifier-resolution=node --loader ts-node/esm

console.log('Your code goes here.');

Use this to restart your scripts instantly when a file changes:

#!/usr/bin/env NODE_ENV=development node --watch --no-warnings --experimental-specifier-resolution=node --loader ts-node/esm

console.log('This processes instantly restarts when a file changes.');
