Awesome

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.

Docker Production Build

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

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)
