Question 1

How do I pick the right Vite template for a Vue 3 project?

Accepted Answer

Scan the Vue 3 templates in Awesome Vite.js: Vitesse is ideal for opinionated, full-featured setups, while vitesse-lite offers a minimal alternative. Check included tools like Pinia or UnoCSS to match your stack.

Question 2

What's the best way to add PWA support with Vite?

Accepted Answer

Awesome Vite.js lists vite-plugin-pwa under plugins—a popular zero-config choice. Always verify the plugin's compatibility with your Vite version and review its GitHub for recent issues or alternatives.

Question 3

Awesome Vite.js vs. npm search: which is better for finding plugins?

Accepted Answer

Awesome Vite.js provides curated, vetted options with categorization, reducing noise, while npm offers raw breadth. Use Awesome Vite for discovery and npm for version-specific details or newer releases.

Question 4

How can I contribute my own starter template to the list?

Accepted Answer

Fork the GitHub repository, add your template to the appropriate framework section in the README with a brief description, and submit a pull request, ensuring it follows the project's quality standards.

Question 5

Is there a template for building Chrome extensions with Vite and React?

Accepted Answer

Yes, browse the React templates section for entries like chrome-extension-boilerplate-react-vite, which pre-configures manifest v3, HMR, and TypeScript for extension development.

Question 6

How to set up Vite with Electron for a desktop app?

Accepted Answer

Refer to the Electron templates category, such as electron-vite-vue or electron-vite-react, which handle main/renderer process integration. Some include builders like vite-electron-builder for automated releases.
