Overview
What is React + TypeScript + Vite?
This template provides a minimal setup to get React working with Vite, TypeScript, Hot Module Replacement (HMR), and some ESLint rules. It is intended for developers starting a new React project with TypeScript using Vite as the build tool.
How to use React + TypeScript + Vite?
The template is used by cloning or scaffolding a new project from it. After setup, developers can configure ESLint for type‑aware linting by updating the parserOptions property and replacing recommended rules with type‑checked rules. Two official plugins are available: @vitejs/plugin-react (using Babel) and @vitejs/plugin-react-swc (using SWC) for Fast Refresh.

FAQ from React + TypeScript + Vite
What two official plugins are available?
The Vite‑React plugin comes in two variants: @vitejs/plugin-react (uses Babel) and @vitejs/plugin-react-swc (uses SWC). Both provide Fast Refresh but differ in underlying tooling.
How do I enable type‑aware lint rules?
Update the parserOptions in the ESLint config to include project: ['./tsconfig.node.json', './tsconfig.app.json'] and replace tseslint.configs.recommended with tseslint.configs.recommendedTypeChecked or strictTypeChecked. Optionally add stylisticTypeChecked and install eslint-plugin-react.
Are there any runtime requirements?
The README does not specify runtime requirements. The template assumes a Node.js environment for development and standard browser support for production.
Does this template include any authentication or transport layer?
No. The template is a basic React + TypeScript + Vite setup with ESLint and does not include any authentication or transport mechanisms.
