• Clear and update the App.jsx and index.css.
• Delete unnecessary files and folders.
• Opens the project in Visual Studio Code

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js (latest LTS version)
• npm (Node Package Manager)
• Visual Studio Code (optional, for opening the project)

Usage

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repository.git
   cd your-repository
   

2. Make the script executable (on Unix-based systems):

   chmod +x create-react-vite-project.js
   

3. Run the script:

   node create-react-vite-project.js
   

4. Follow the prompts to set up your project.

Script Overview

1. Asking for Project Details

The script will first prompt you for:

• The name of your project
• Whether to install additional libraries (Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion, GSAP, etc.)

2. Setting Up the Project

Based on your responses:

• A new Vite project will be created with the React template.
• Libraries you chose will be installed.
• ESLint and Vite configuration files will be set up.

3. Project Configuration

• ESLint Configuration: .eslintrc.cjs
• Vite Configuration: vite.config.js
• File and Directory Structure: Creates necessary directories and updates key files (e.g., App.jsx, index.css).

4. Final Steps

• Opens the newly created project in Visual Studio Code (optional).

Example

Here is how the script will execute:

Enter the name of your project: my-react-app
Install Tailwind CSS? (y/n): y
Install Framer Motion? (y/n): n
Install GSAP? (y/n): y
Install React Query? (y/n): y
...

Troubleshooting

• Dependency Conflicts: If you encounter dependency conflicts, you may need to use the --legacy-peer-deps option with npm commands.

• File Permissions: Ensure the script has execute permissions (on Unix-based systems) using chmod +x create-react-vite-project.js.
