Deta currently does not have that many starter template options to choose from. In past, I always used BetaHuhn/deta-express-starter, this starter template is very good, but some coding style and config do not suit me.

As a vue developer, I'm very used to using path alias. But implementing typescript path alias always has problems after complie.

Finally, after tried vite-node / tsx and tsup / esbuild can resolves all the problems.
But vite-node hmr(watch-mode) has some problem that can't be used, so I'm choosing to use tsx

Quickstart

notice: rename .env.example to .env

1. install the deps

$ yarn

2. development start

$ yarn dev

3. build for prod

$ yarn build

4. preview prod

$ yarn preview

Config path alias

Default path alias is @ target to the src folder.
If you wanna change it or add new alias, just modify tsconfig paths:

tsconfig.ts

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

FAQ

• Why build output is a single file ?

  If you want output to keep origin structure, just go tsup.config.ts and change the entry property to:

entry: ['src/**/*.ts']
