Guide for creation

1. npm create vite@latest . -- --template react-ts
2. Create the tsconfig.build.json (this is the file used in the build process)

{
  "extends": "./tsconfig.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "declaration": true,
    "declarationMap": true,
    "emitDeclarationOnly": true,
    "declarationDir": "./dist",
    "outDir": "./dist",
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "jsx": "react-jsx",
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
  },
  "include": ["lib"]
}

3. Update vite.config.ts with the build configuration

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react';
import { dirname, resolve } from 'node:path';
import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url';


// https://vite.dev/config/

const __dirname = dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url));
console.log('Vite build path:', __dirname);

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [react()],
    resolve: {
        alias: {
            '@': resolve(__dirname, 'src'),
        },
    },
    build: {
        copyPublicDir: false,
        lib: {
            entry: resolve(__dirname, 'lib/main.ts'),
            formats: ['es'],
        },
        rollupOptions: {
            external: ['react', 'react-dom', 'react/jsx-runtime'],
            output: {
                globals: {
                    react: 'React',
                    'react-dom': 'ReactDOM',
                },
                assetFileNames: 'assets/[name][extname]',
                entryFileNames: '[name].js',
            },
        },
    },
});

4. Add CSS module d.ts (css-modules.d.ts)
5. npm publish (for that you need to enable the 2fa in your npm account if you use the public registry)

React + TypeScript + Vite

This template provides a minimal setup to get React working in Vite with HMR and some ESLint rules.

Currently, two official plugins are available:

• @vitejs/plugin-react uses Babel (or oxc when used in rolldown-vite) for Fast Refresh
• @vitejs/plugin-react-swc uses SWC for Fast Refresh

React Compiler

The React Compiler is not enabled on this template because of its impact on dev & build performances. To add it, see this documentation.

Expanding the ESLint configuration

If you are developing a production application, we recommend updating the configuration to enable type-aware lint rules:

export default defineConfig([
  globalIgnores(['dist']),
  {
    files: ['**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
    extends: [
      // Other configs...

      // Remove tseslint.configs.recommended and replace with this
      tseslint.configs.recommendedTypeChecked,
      // Alternatively, use this for stricter rules
      tseslint.configs.strictTypeChecked,
      // Optionally, add this for stylistic rules
      tseslint.configs.stylisticTypeChecked,

      // Other configs...
    ],
    languageOptions: {
      parserOptions: {
        project: ['./tsconfig.node.json', './tsconfig.app.json'],
        tsconfigRootDir: import.meta.dirname,
      },
      // other options...
    },
  },
])

You can also install eslint-plugin-react-x and eslint-plugin-react-dom for React-specific lint rules:

// eslint.config.js
import reactX from 'eslint-plugin-react-x'
import reactDom from 'eslint-plugin-react-dom'

export default defineConfig([
  globalIgnores(['dist']),
  {
    files: ['**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
    extends: [
      // Other configs...
      // Enable lint rules for React
      reactX.configs['recommended-typescript'],
      // Enable lint rules for React DOM
      reactDom.configs.recommended,
    ],
    languageOptions: {
      parserOptions: {
        project: ['./tsconfig.node.json', './tsconfig.app.json'],
        tsconfigRootDir: import.meta.dirname,
      },
      // other options...
    },
  },
])
