jijinbei / Office-Addin-React-Vite-Template

A template for Office.JS add-ins using Vite, React 18 and Typescript(PowerPoint)

Office Add-in React Vite Template

This is a template for developing an Office.JS PowerPoint add-in with Vite and React 18. The main advantage of using this template is a much faster development cycle. The development server starts in just 2-3 seconds and hot-reloaded changes are near instant.

Key differences

This template was generated using the generator-office generator which is based on the Office-Addin-Taskpane-React project.

These are the key differences between this template and the default generated template:

• Use Vite instead of Webpack.
• Use React 18.
• Remove polyfills and support for IE 11.
• Enabled typescript strict mode

Usage

To start the development server, run:

npm run dev

To load the add-in in your Excel, use any of the start scripts. e.g:

npm run start

To create a production build, run:

npm run build

Legacy Browsers

This template does not include support for IE11. If you need support, add @vitejs/plugin-legacy.
