Vite

Install and configure curv-ui for Vite.

Create project

Start by creating a new React project using init. Select the React + TypeScript template:

npm

npm create vite@latest

Add tailwind CSS

npm

npm install tailwindcss @tailwindcss/vite

Replace everything in src/index.css with the following:

csssrc/index.css

@import "tailwindcss";

Edit tsconfig.json file

The current version of Vite splits TypeScript configuration into three files, two of which need to be edited. Add the baseURl and paths properties to the compilerOptions section of the tsconfig.json and tsconfig.app.json files:

jsontsconfig.json

{
  "files": [],
  "references": [
    {
      "path": "./tsconfig.app.json"
    },
    {
      "path": "./tsconfig.node.json"
    }
  ],
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@/*": ["./src/*"]
    }
  }
}

Edit tsconfig.app.json file

Add the following code to the tsconfig.app.json file to resolve paths, for your IDE:

jsontsconfig.app.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    // ...
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@/*": [
        "./src/*"
      ]
    }
    // ...
  }
}

Update vite.config.ts

Add the following code to the vite.config.ts so your app can resolve paths without error:

npm

npm install -D @types/node

tsvite.config.ts

import path from "path"
import tailwindcss from "@tailwindcss/vite"
import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react"
import { defineConfig } from "vite"

// https://vite.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react(), tailwindcss()],
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      "@": path.resolve(__dirname, "./src"),
    },
  },
})

Run the CLI

Run the curv-ui init command to setup your project:

npm

npx curv-ui init

Add Components

You can now start adding components to your project.

npm

npx curv-ui add button

The command above will add the Button component to your project. You can then import it like this:

tsxsrc/App.tsx

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="flex min-h-svh flex-col items-center justify-center">
      <Button>Click me</Button>
    </div>
  )
}

export default App
