Project does not create an actual scaffold

[christophfriedrich]

How is this officially "The recommended way to start a Vite-powered Vue project"?! It does create such a project, but before I can start coding my own actual project, I have to delete a ton of garbage: Components I don't need, CSS I don't need, logos and icons I don't need...

In its current state, this project creates a good example for beginners that shows off a few of Vue's features and gives links for further reading. But it massively fails at just providing an empty template from which to start one's own project. I was expecting a scaffold, which means the minimal setup to get it to run and say something like "Hello World", nothing more.

Like @ZackPlauche said it in #186: "I want the same thing, but minus all of the starter components and css." I opened a new issue because

1. over the past 8 months that issue didn't get any attention (except, notably, five thumbs-up reactions of people thinking the same) and
2. he titled his issue a "question", whereas I see mine more as a bug report, in the sense of "this software does not do what it is supposed to do, please fix".

"The recommended way to start a Vite-powered Vue project"?

What matter is to set up the tooling like typescript, vitest , e2e test, vite etc...

Imho your making it sound harder than it actually is, you can quite easily rm -rf src...

Then, replace public/favicon.ico and modify index.html to set the title etc..

and then add those files and you get yourself a starter

src/App.vue

<template>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
</template>

src/main.ts

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'

createApp(App).mount('#app')

If you want to make this faster you can create a script that does this in one command,

(the most complicated part will be the regex to change the title I guess)?

you could also have a variation to add the boilerplate for the router / for pinia
