Mocking up web app with Vitesse^(speed)
with modular design pattern.

If you are really into the "Vitesse" starter template created by Anthony Fu (Vue core team member) but want to use the clean architectural pattern instead of monolithic architecture, then you can clone this repo and use your own project. If you want a quick introduction concept, you can read this very short blog post.

Usage

Development

Just run and visit http://localhost:3333

pnpm dev

Build

To build the App, run

pnpm build

And you will see the generated file in dist that ready to be served.

Separation of Concerns

• Create separate folder for each module and place them under /src folder
• The following folders are auto imported within each module
  • components/
  • modules/
  • pages/
  • stores/
• Place all the layouts in the common/layouts folder
• Place all the custom styles in the common/styles folder and import them into main.css

Deploy on Netlify

Go to Netlify and select your clone, OK along the way, and your App will be live in a minute.

Docker Production Build

First, build the vitesse image by opening the terminal in the project's root directory.

docker buildx build . -t vitesse:latest

Run the image and specify port mapping with the -p flag.

docker run --rm -it -p 8080:80 vitesse:latest

Why

I have created several Vite apps recently. Setting the configs up is kinda the bottleneck for me to make the ideas simply come true within a very short time.

So I made this starter template for myself to create apps more easily, along with some good practices that I have learned from making those apps. It's strongly opinionated, but feel free to tweak it or even maintains your own forks. (see community maintained variation forks)
