Start by creating a new React project using vite. Select the React + TypeScript template:
Replace everything in src/index.css with the following:
@import "tailwindcss";
The current version of Vite splits TypeScript configuration into three files, two of which need to be edited. Add the baseUrl and paths properties to the compilerOptions section of the tsconfig.json and tsconfig.app.json files:
{
"files": [],
"references": [
{
"path": "./tsconfig.app.json"
},
{
"path": "./tsconfig.node.json"
}
],
"compilerOptions": {
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"@/*": ["./src/*"]
}
}
}
Add the following code to the tsconfig.app.json file to resolve paths, for your IDE:
{
"compilerOptions": {
// ...
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"@/*": [
"./src/*"
]
}
// ...
}
}
Add the following code to the vite.config.ts so your app can resolve paths without error:
import path from "path"
import tailwindcss from "@tailwindcss/vite"
import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react"
import { defineConfig } from "vite"
// https://vite.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [react(), tailwindcss()],
resolve: {
alias: {
"@": path.resolve(__dirname, "./src"),
},
},
})
You can now start adding components to your project.
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button";
function App() {
return (
<div className="flex min-h-svh flex-col items-center justify-center">
<Button variant="success">Button</Button>
</div>
)
}
export default App
