A Tour of my new Rails Vite Kickoff Template

As I took a quick break from my other series (Let's Build for Ruby on Rails developers, and Tailwind Components) I recently came across a new gem called Vite Ruby. This video walks through what the gem entails and tours a new Ruby on Rails application template I've created for free use!

P.S. I believe I'm pronouncing "Vite" wrong so forgive me in advance. It should be "vit". 😆

What is Vite?

Vite is a new way to think about the front-end. We're at the dawn of some big changes for frontend tooling. ESM modules are now supported in the browser which means tools like Vite can exist.

From Vite's website the summarized version of what is and why it exists is as follows:

Vite (a French word for "fast", pronounced /vit/) is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects. It consists of two major parts:

• A dev server that provides rich feature enhancements over native ES modules, for example extremely fast Hot Module Replacement (HMR).

• A build command that bundles your code with Rollup, pre-configured to output highly optimized static assets for production.

Vite is opinionated and comes with sensible defaults out of the box, but is also highly extensible via its Plugin API and JavaScript API with full typing support.
