Examples - Buildless

[hwclass]

Hi there 👋

I am planning to add a now example showing how to deploy apps without a transpiling/build/bundling step using some bundler(s). This example will be a tiny app containing a nice combination of preact & snowpack by using covid19 public api.

Is that OK to send a PR for that example?

Note: We've already published an app based on the same setup, so that's all.

Thanks.

Hi @hwclass

The official examples are reserved for frameworks and their corresponding boilerplate.

Since we already have a preact example, we don't need another one, otherwise we would overwhelm new users selecting a template from our import page: https://zeit.co/import/templates

@hwclass I would be interested in seeing this example. Do you have a repo you can share?

In case anyone else finds there way here looking for a Vercel + Snowpack example: https://github.com/clintharris/playground-monorepo/tree/master/vercel-snowpack-react

@clintharris this was SUPER helpful! Really appreciate you leaving the link here. I was tearing my hair out!

Oops, I spoke too soon. Just tried this solution but I'm unable to hit the endpoint locally. :( Any idea why the Vercel dev-server would be complaining? I'm using the package.json and tsconfig as you.

Going to pull down your example and see if it works for me locally in the meantime.

Looks like the comments in your tsconfig were blowing up for me. Fixed by removing them.

Hi @clintharris,

The repo we built buildless.site is private and deployed on vercel. I can give you an invite to have a look if you need. You can also find the examples which are not directly related with vercel there inside the website.

Have you and @clintharris tried out the new Snowpack 3 plugin system? Currently there isn't a Vercel plugin. :(
