Introduction

Developers do not usually write React directly in a standard HTML file. Instead, they use a tool like Vite or Next.js to generate a complete React project folder automatically. This sets up all the necessary files instantly.

Syntax

1/* terminal commands */
2npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react
3cd my-app
4npm install
5npm run dev

Key Points

Vite is the modern, fast way to build React apps.
Next.js is the popular choice for full-stack React.
Create React App is no longer recommended.
The `npm run dev` command starts a local server.
