Vite Setup Vite Project Setup
Vite is today's mainstream scaffolder for React projects: one command generates a development environment with hot reloading, and both startup and build times are far faster than the old CRA setup. Whether you are learning or shipping a new product, starting from it is the recommended path. The generated project is a plain npm package, so every tool in the ecosystem works out of the box.

Output：
A monospace card lists four lines of "file name — description"; clicking any line highlights it, and the bottom line shows "Currently selected: xxx", mimicking how you browse the directory of a Vite project and what each file is responsible for.💡 Key Points
