Assumed File Structure
The default file structure assumes that this will be used in a tradition server rendered website such as a CMS like Drupal or Wordpress.
|-- dist/ (js and sass compiles here)
|-- js/
| |-- main.js
|-- sass/
| |-- style.scss
|-- package.json
|-- vite.config.mjs
If doing a Single Page App (SPA) with a Javascript framework like Vue.js or
React then the vite.config.js
can have its root
changed to whatever
suits it best. For reference in configuring a SPA see one of Vite's online
demos https://vitejs.dev/guide/#trying-vite-online.

Configuration
Vite
Vite is used to compile all code and can be
configured with the vite.config.mjs
file.
https://vitejs.dev/config/
Default Tasks
tasks-config.default.js
contains all of the default configuration for
controlling the tasks. This file can be referenced for all possible config
options. Docs can be found at https://github.com/ucdavis/ucd-theme-tasks/blob/master/docs/config.md
Version 4 removed many of the old configuration options since Vite handles them. Most of the configuration is now about path locations for syncing files across projects.
Pattern Lab
If you are using this package within Pattern Lab then
it can build and watch patterns using ucd-theme-tasks patternLab
.
