Vite Crash Course | Faster Alternative To CRA 

HOW this is the third time I needed to learn a particular language quick and when I get ready to study it, you've released a video

Just got started with Vite. Wanted a really quick intro so I could jump into it and not have to waste time watching a 2hr tutorial. This was perfect. Anything I need, I'll learn on the way.

Hey Brad, this was really useful to me, thank you for the long-form content on Vite, super clear explanation, love your style!

Thanks Brad! A replacement for CRA has been a long overdue! Vite looks really cool and excited to use it; starting today.

The future of frontend tooling is here, thank you Brad.

Anything taught by you simply gets into my head in a go. Thanks for such crystal clear lectures.

Exactly at the moment when I wanted to search for "vite tutorial" this showed up. Great timing!

The developer experience is so much better! No more having to wait for the code to rebuild, and often you won't have to reload the whole component tree

Thank you so much for making a informative video about a good replacement for CRA. The video is great, we have the theory and the practice. Couldnt ask for more. Thank you c:

thank u so much Mr Brad it was an amazing video about Vite Thank u so much, and I did %50 the javascript course on ur website so I love it thank u so much for all staff

Awesome as always Brad. Thanks 😊

As expected of Brad, the best explanation. Thank u !

It always feels special when I see a notif about a new video from you.

excellent tutorial, I followed along without a single issue. thank you so much.

You just made my life so cheerful ❤ I was in little panic when i heard new react docs got rid of cra & now they have mentioned to use next js by default. CRA official github repository also seems inactive. I did not want to learn Next js right now, but would still love to enjoy react on new projects without setting up things manually. This video really gave me confidence back.

Love the way, how you present things....

Thank you so much for this video, was very useful, definitely learned a lot! Thanks!

Amazing video, exactly what I needed.

Amazing video Brad! so succinct :)

I wish I could like this a million times. Thank you so much!

Thanks for doing staff like this vitejs for some of us. Appreciate that a lot. Am learning bro. Thanks

Ive been waiting for this!

I LOVE VITE

Sweet! I just started using it.

I am glad I found this clip. I actually didn't enjoy Vite at first. Felt confusing... you know why? With webpack and other solutions got used to the fact that I have to define paths to bundle-able assets, a lot of other boilerplate config beforehand, specific production config and optimizations that you have to set up - I was looking for that in Vite and got super confused when I found nothing like it. This has been the best switch I have done in build tools, ever.

It was a great video in order to get our hands dirty using Vite 👏🏻💯

I needed something that I could use to quickly build out a concept without all the bells and whistles of nextjs and I ran into Vite. This video was godsend. I was kind of overthinking it since I am also still learning some React and WebPack fundamentals in the background. After watching your video, I am realizing how simple getting a Vite project up and running is and I can still finish learning react since nothing is syntactically different at least as of now.

Really helpful content. Thank You.

Vite is really cool, i love the way it is so lightweight, giving the developer more control, and making the dev experience more enjoyable

Would be nice with more Vite tutorials. Like setting up navbar and routing.

Excellent stuff, thanks😊

Excited to learn about vite

Thanks a lot, traversy media, for this

I enjoyed this! Thanks

Thank you, it was very helpful

Thanks very much my mentor

Thank you so much !

Brad never disappoint

Great ! Simple and clear ~ Next time, could you do the same but including, nextjs, node and Mongo DB?

i love these videos.

Right on time!

Thanks Brad!

Wow! Greate resource ever

Did Brad just upload a Crash Course from his hotel room? lol 😂 Thanks Brad. Keep up the good work!!

Thanks for the video, but it'd be better if it shows how to configure ESLint and add rules to the project and also how to add settings for unit tests (vitest or react-testing-library).

Hi brad Great Stuff! I just been wandering could we use it to build our own Frontend Framework?

Thanks a lot!

@TraversyMedia Loved the video. Can you also share the extensions u used for those autocomplete of imports, vite configs on ur vscode

Thanks!

Thank u Brad

Very good

excellent

Thanks for the video 😀🙏 How can I update vite version in an existing vite-react app Also can we have ( maybe later ) a video on how to set up pwa with vite-react app ? 🙏

"Through out this video It might seem like I'm bashing CRA but actually I'm just talking about vite", COLD.

Cool!

Wow just saw an article about this vite

For the environment variables section, when you run tests on your react application, you get cannot use import.meta outside a module even though I define type="module" in my package.json. so what I did was, reversed engineered vite to use the process keyword instead of import.meta. so I can now do something like process.env.API_URL. But the issue with the process keyword is that, in production, I get process is not defined since the process keyword is not accessible in browser environments. How do I get around this

Hi Brad. How did your VS code auto-suggest @12:01? Was it co-pilot?

Vite is awesome. Our build time got so much faster when we switched to it from webpack. Until this video, I've pronounced it to rhyme with "byte", whoops.

thanks man

When working with huge scss files, vite can also get fairly slow. It even crashes sometimes.

The idea isn't about getting slow, but taking too much resources. for someone like me just started and not having the best laptop or computer tool like create-react-app is really heavy on my machine and take a lot of resources ram, cpu, ... to run, so the idea is simplicity and using resources as minimum as possible

What's the theme you are using in the VS code?

Hi, how are called the theme you used in that video? Also what extension you use for vs code?

Follow up on create a react app with Vite. Do you use npm init vite@latest my-project or npm create vite@latest my-project?

Hi, make a video on your thoughts about the new react docs and the fact they recommend nextjs and others related frameworks. Is this good for beginners?

Pls do it for angular projects also 👍

Cheers

GoodJob!

It could have been fantastic if you had incorporated testing with Vite as well.

Hi, how can we setup testing library and jest, or is there better solution for testing?

What theme do you use for vsc?

3:21 I think this is not correct. esbuild is not used to serve ES Modules. As you say in the video, this is what the browser just does for us. esbuild is a module bundler. It is used to pre-bundle depencencies, and also when you run build the Vite application.

Hi, Brad I have enrolled in your MERN stack app course in udemy should I continue with same. Or it will get updated

I'm trying to bind nextjs landing page with client react app which uses vite but how can I define base: /lang/path as dynamic path to connect both apps? Is base static only because of linking assets?

You give me Hope that i will be great in Tech space

is this the introduction of the course or this is the course i was excpecting more lool

Thanks - great demo.

Please make Solidity crash course!

What are the icons you are using and theme?

what is the name of the vs code theme and the icon pack that you are using ?? thanks )))

I was using CRA, but lately am using Vite it's fast and never looking back

I love Vite, its like million times faster than Webpack

I am getting an error while choosing react with JavaScript and swc. The error says "[vite] Internal server error: Bindings not found"

Videos have worked for me but how can I make my website fix on small device's

Hi people! I am completely new to learning react, I bought a udemy course, and they are teaching with CRA, should I continue or shift to VITE? I do not have enough information to make a decision, lemme know? plesss.

Thanks for this! I like vite precisely for its quickness. The only reason it took me so long to switch over: Dang they need a different logo! This one is just ugly.

Can you please create a crash course on react with typescript

Hey Brad !! thanks for Uploading, i have a question for you or the audience here, everytime i hear about upgrading a software or a website, they say it's need funding wich mean money, so how upgrading software or a website need money, it's just coding that all. because i recently heard about twitter and he will be upgrading his source code and they say that it's will take a lot of money. So any explanation please ?

So does that mean you can't use vite with certain older browsers

hi, how we use Context API in Vite thankyou ...

Kindly create a video about how to configure vite

Why npm run preview shows blank white page ?

Sir please make one video on Pinia

🎉

2.2k+...Thanks

Vite is showing a blank page after using routing, anyone has the same problem?

👍

will vite work with certain backends like django?
