Starting and Running a React Project with Vite
Step 6: Initialize the Project
To set up the project, use the terminal. Open the terminal in your code editor (if it's not already open), run the following command, and press Enter:
pythonnpm create vite@latest .
When prompted, select React as the framework using the arrow keys:
Then, choose either JavaScript or TypeScript, depending on your preference:
After the setup is complete, Vite will prompt you to install dependencies. Run the following command:
pythonnpm install
Once the installation is done, start the development server by running:
pythonnpm run dev
After running these commands, you'll see a local development URL — typically: http://localhost:5173/
. You can open this link in your browser to view the app live.
Step 7: Begin Customizing
The project is set up, you can begin customizing it:
- Your main work will happen inside the src folder;
- You'll find default files like
App.jsx
andmain.jsx
, which you can modify or replace based on your project's needs; - If you worked previously in CodeSandbox, recreate your familiar structure: ensure you have a
main.jsx
(the Vite equivalent ofindex.js
) as the entry point and build your main application inApp.jsx
; - Create additional folders as needed to organize your components, styles, and assets.
