Simple Production Ready Vite template for MERN stack.

vite-mern-template

Simple opinionated template for MERN stack with Vite and Redux Toolkit. This includes React+TypeScript with familiar configuration for vite.config.ts.

This has been created with the official Vite template (npm create vite@latest) and some extended setup. There are two separate folders called server and client. The entry point for the backend is server/src/index.js.

Thanks to awesome-vite for publishing this project.

Demo

Installation

npx degit apicgg/vite-mern-template my-app

Install dependencies

cd my-app
cd client
npm install
cd ..
npm install

Start the development server

npm run watch
npm run dev

• Run the above two commands on different terminal sessions.

• Remove the .git folder and initialize your own git repository.

• In this case npm run watch needs to be executed before starting the development server with npm run dev as the TypeScript files need to be compiled to JavaScript before staring the dev server with node. ts-node can be used this to avoid this.

TODO

• Create a npm CLI library for scaffolding projects.
