HTML

You can handle bundling multiple HTML files with vite-plugin-handlebars. Make sure Handlebars Context as you need.

If you want to use multiple partial files, Add your partial files into the _partials folder.

src/_partials

You can call partial files directly by other templates like this example.

{{> _header }}
  <main>
    <h1>Welcome to VITAM Docs!</h1>
    <p>VITAM is a front-end template with Vite for static websites.</p>
  </main>
{{> _footer }}

site.config.ts manages the site's basic information. You have to edit site.config.ts when you create a new page.

const pagesData = {
  '/sample/index.html': {
    locale: siteData.locale,
    title: `Smaple Page | ${siteData.siteName}`,
    description: `This is a sample page. ${siteData.description}`,
    url: `${siteData.url}/sampple/`,
    ogpImage: siteData.ogpImage,
    ogType: 'article',
    fbAppId: siteData.fbAppId,
    fbAdmins: siteData.fbAdmins,
    twitterCard: siteData.twitterCard,
    twitterSite: siteData.twitterSite,
  },
};

Sass (Dart Sass)

You can manage style sheets logically with Sass. I've already defined some functions and Mixins. Check out these files before you get started with your project.

CSS Architecture

This starter template gives you CSS architecture which is Enduring CSS standardly, but it's not necessary architecture in all projects. I recommend you introduce the best architecture in each project.

📖 Learn CSS Architecture

What's Enduring CSS?

Enduring CSS is an architecture to write style sheets for large-scale, rapidly changing, long-lived web projects. You can get these benefits from Enduring CSS.

• Isolated, self-quarantining styles
• Scale to any size
• Avoiding abstraction and specificity
• One key selector to rule them all
• Handling state

📖 Learn Enduring CSS

How to write Enduring CSS selectors

Here is the example selector.

.namespace-Component_ChildNode

TypeScript

This template supports TypeScript. It's easy to import ts files. You can customize TypeScript's options with tsconfig.json at any time.

I've already defined some utility functions. Check out these files before you get started with your project.

src/ts/utils/*.ts

postInstall command will help you to install typings in this project.

Jest is built-in in this project. You can run Jest from the command line.

Usage of SVG sprite

</svg>

PWA

Vite Plugin PWA supports making your website faster. Edit vite.config.ts if you would like to customize settings for PWA. You can generate icons for PWA with Favicon Generator.
