Prerequisite software: Node.js v20 (minimum supported version)
Vite is a frontend dev tool we use:
.css
and .js
files.scss
files into .css
.fonts
and images
used in your project, from the assets
folder to the public
folder.First you need to install dependencies into the node_modules
directory by running this command:
npm install
If everything ran ok, you should see a new root folder named node_modules
where all the npm packages are installed.
If npm install
fails, this could be caused by user permissions for npm.
Our recommendation is to install npm through Node Version Manager
.
The watch
command compiles the components then monitors the source files and triggers their recompilation when one of them is changed:
npm run watch
Initially, Vite is configured to delete and rebuild the contents of these folders from the public
folder:
The folders are populated from their counterparts in src/App/assets
.
Make sure to not edit anything inside the four public folders manually. Other files and folders in the public folder will be left as is.
An alternative to the watch
command is build
which simply compiles the components, overwriting as needed:
npm run build
