Preview

Here's what the template looks like out of the box:

Installation

You can easily create a new project using this template with the following command:

npx vite-crazy-kickstart@latest 

This will set up the template in a new folder called my-new-project. You can then navigate into your project directory and start the development server.

cd my-new-project
npm install  # Install dependencies
npm run dev  # Start development server

For pnpm or yarn users, you can use your preferred package manager instead of npm.

Build for Production

To create a production build of your project, run:

npm run build

This will output your built files into a dist folder, ready for deployment.
