Please name a single platform where profile verification helped and didn't lead to disaster.

Now we need a post about Vite vs Vue CLI for project scaffolding. And it would be awesome if we can have Vite as part of Vue CLI in the future. I'd preffer to stick with Vue CLI instead of relying on another one for my apps

I am using Vite with vanilla js and Tailwind CSS and I was mind blowing, it's insanely fast and the development experience is awesome

I tried this out today, and it is awesome. This makes webpack seem silly. I've tried snowpack in the past but could not get the sourcemaps to work correctly with react + typescript + monorepo. Vite does. I plan on using this for my projects going forward.

I check it today and I have to say it's amazing, fast and easy. I wrote an article explaining my experience dev.to/richicodes/hello-vite-react...

Recent laravel-mix release sped up compilation in a vue app for me by a lot (twitter.com/dev_michaelz/status/13...)

Excited to see how vite will further bring these times down.

So is vite just like snowpack but with a different name?

I was asking myself the exact same question. πŸ˜‚ A little bit confused about the similarities and differences. I think both use esbuild.

Great first post on DEV, even tho it is kind of an advertisement and I hope to see more cool posts by you here.

Vite looks pretty cool. As a React dev (thank you for supporting React btw!) I plan to try it out.

Is there a way when creating a project to choose options like vuex, routing... and so on like the Vue Cli?

Thanks.

Sounds really great - I would be interested in migrating an existing big React webpack project to use Vite. Are there any webpack migration documents/tutorials ?
Thanks

Try hqjs.org it is the first ESM friendly builder that is framework agnostic since 2018, it supports Angular as well and requires no configuration.

Wow this is absolutely incredible. It just took me like 5 segs to get a new react project and install all dependencies with yarn.

Congratz and good job!

Oh, wow! I love that you got to scalability by plugin by version 2. You really had me when you said you're supporting CSS as a first-class citizen! I'm bookmarking this one to come back to later.

This article is great because I played with vite when Evan first tweeted about the NPX module but I didn't quite understand what the it was going for. I'm excited to give it another go now.
