Umbraco recommends building extensions with a setup using TypeScript and a build tool such as Vite. Umbraco uses the library Lit for building web components which we will use throughout this guide.

{% hint style="info" %}
This guide is based on our **general recommendations** for working with and building extensions for the Umbraco backoffice.

You can use **any framework or library**, as you are not limited to the mentioned frameworks.
These are general recommendations for working with and building extensions for the Umbraco backoffice. You can use any framework or library of your choice.

## Getting Started With Vite
## Before You Begin

Vite comes with a set of good presets to get you quickly up and running with libraries and languages. For example: Lit, Svelte, and Vanilla Web Components with both JavaScript and TypeScript.
Make sure to read the [Setup Your Development Environment](./) article before continuing.

## Create a Vite Package

Vite comes with a set of good presets to get you quickly up and running with libraries and languages. For example: Lit, Svelte, and Vanilla Web Components with both JavaScript and TypeScript.

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the project folder where you want to create your new Vite Package.
2. Run the following command in the folder to create a new Vite Package:
1. Open your terminal and navigate to the folder where you want to create the new Vite package.
2. Run the following command:

```bash
npm create vite@latest
```

This command will set up your new package and ask you to pick a framework and a compiler.
This command starts a setup prompt.

3. Enter `Client` as both the **Project Name** and **Package name** when prompted.
For this tutorial, it is recommended to use the names given below. However, feel free to choose other names if preferred.

4. Choose **Lit** and **TypeScript** as the framework and language.
3. When prompted:
* Enter **client** as the **Project Name**.
* Select **Lit** as the framework.
* Select **TypeScript** as the variant.

This creates a new folder called `Client`, sets up our new project, and creates a `package.json` file, which includes the necessary packages. This is where all your source files live.
This creates a new folder called **client** with your project files.

{% hint style="info" %}
Alternatively, you can skip the interactive prompts and use this command:

For Windows environments the command should be slightly different::

```typescript
npm create vite@latest Client -- --template lit-ts
npm create vite@latest client --- --template lit-ts
```

This will create a Vite Package with Lit and TypeScript in a folder called **Client**.
or you will still see the interactive prompts, especially when using PowerShell.

4. Navigate into the new **client** folder and install the packages:

This alters the Vite default output into a **library mode**, where the output is a JavaScript file with the same name as the `name` attribute in `package.json`. The name is `client.js` if you followed this tutorial with no changes.

The source code that is compiled lives in the `src` folder of your package folder and that is where you can see a `my-element.ts` file. You can confirm that this file is the one specified as our entry on the Vite config file that we recently created.
