A developer integrates Vite into an existing TailwindCSS CLI project for better performance and workflow efficiency.
Key steps include creating a backup branch, understanding Vite best practices, and updating folder structure for modularity using vite-plugin-ejs.
Vite's features like Hot Module Replacement, optimized production builds, and seamless integration with modern tools are highlighted.
A comparison between the developer's current setup and Vite showcases the speed, modularity, and ease of use Vite offers.
The developer creates a modular folder structure to organize the project code and enhances the workflow through Vite and Vite-plugin-ejs.
NPM scripts are updated to align with Vite's commands, and the TailwindCSS setup is adjusted to work seamlessly with the new modular structure.
The developer tests the development workflow, builds for production, inspects the output, and prepares for deployment.
Comments are added to key files for easier understanding, and the production setup is optimized for performance.
The final process of building for production ensures the site is ready for deployment, with optimized performance and minimal file sizes.
Integrating Vite has streamlined the workflow, enhanced development processes, and improved site performance, setting a solid foundation for future exploration.
