⚛ Creating a React App with React Vite and Installing Dependencies

In this documentation, we'll outline the steps to create a React application using React Vite as the build tool. Additionally, we'll install and configure the following dependencies:

• Tailwind CSS
• Flowbite
• React Router DOM
• React Icons

Step 1: Set Up React with Vite

1. Ensure that you have Node.js installed on your system. You can download it from here: https://nodejs.org/en/download

2. Open your terminal or command prompt

3. Create a new React Vite project by running

   npm create vite@latest project-name -- --template react

4. Navigate into your project directiory and install the node modules

   cd project-name
   npm install

Step 2: Install Dependencies

1. Install Tailwind CSS:

   npm install -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer
   npx tailwindcss init -p
   

   Configure the template paths inside the tailwind.config.js file:

   module.exports = {
     content: [
       './src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}',
     ],
     theme: {
       extend: {},
     },
     plugins: [],
   }

   Set up the Tailwind directives inside the ./src/index.css file:

   @tailwind base;
   @tailwind components;
   @tailwind utilities;

2. Install Flowbite (optional):

   npm install flowbite flowbite-react
   

   Require Flowbite as a plugin inside your tailwind.config.js file:

   module.exports = {
     plugins: [
       require('flowbite/plugin')
     ]
   }

   Additionally, add the Flowbite source paths to apply the classes from the interactive elements in the tailwind.config.js file:

   module.exports = {
     content: [
       // ...
       'node_modules/flowbite-react/lib/esm/**/*.js'
     ]
   }

3. Install React Router DOM:

   npm install react-router-dom
   

4. Install React Icons:

   npm install react-icons
   

5. Run the app:

   npm run dev

2. Navigate into the cloned repository and install its dependencies

   cd gdsc-react-workshops
   npm install

3. You can now open the project on an IDE (VS Code as an example)

   code .

   Or run the project on localhost

   npm run dev
