Vite Tutorials

[aliceridgway]

A few months ago, I asked some colleagues about what I should learn next. One of them suggested Vite.

I'm usually sceptical when someone suggests yet another JavaScript thing to learn.

When I was learning to code, I was very frontend orientated. I loved JavaScript and React. After being employed as a Django developer, I fell out of love with it. Using Vue in Multi-Page Apps isn't straightforward. I missed the effortlessness of spinning up a Vue application with Vue CLI.

Vite has helped me rediscover the joy of frontend development. Its real value is in the developer experience. It gives you the benefits of a JavaScript development environment without having to create a separate front-end app.

So I'm excited my guide to Vite with you all.

In another tutorial, we use Vite to add Vue to Django templates.

The code for both tutorials can be found in the django-vite-vue-starter.

I hope it helps you kick-start your journey with Vite.
