In VS code my scripts don't have a start command i tried adding it manually but it won't run and the preview command does't show live reloads

Question

"scripts": {
 "dev": "vite",
 "build": "vite build",
 "lint": "eslint src --ext js,jsx --report-unused-disable-directives --max-warnings 0",
 "preview": "vite preview"
 },

this is my script

"scripts": {
 "start": " react-scripts start",
 "build": "react-scripts build",
 "test": "react-scripts test",
 "eject": "react-scripts eject"
} 

I tried using these scripts instead but it would show this error

> [email protected] start
> react-scripts start
Could not find a required file.
 Name: index.html

Answer 1

Make sure you have Vite installed as a dependency in your project. You can install Vite using:

npm install vite --save-dev

Update your start script in the scripts section of your package.json to use Vite:

"scripts": {
 "start": "vite",
 "build": "vite build",
 "test": "react-scripts test",
 "eject": "react-scripts eject"
}

Ensure that your Vite project has the required files, including an index.html file in the root of your project. If it's missing, you can create a basic index.html file after run the app with npm start
