Building the development build took about `10` seconds whereas building this application took less than `2` seconds.\n\n## Getting Started\nInstall the dependencies!\n```\nnpm i\n```\n\nThen, run snowpack!\n```\nnpx snowpack\n```\n\n## Running the Dev Server\nJust run the `babel` in one tab and `servor` in another :)\n```\n# Run this in one tab\n# You will get a warning saying \"could not resolve \"/web_modules/vue/dist/vue.esm-browser.js\" in file XXX\"\n# which you can ignore!\nnpx babel src/ --out-dir lib --watch --extensions \".ts\"\n\n# And also run this in parallel in another tab\nnpx servor --reload\n```\n\n## Caveats\n1. This would not be good to use in a production website.\n2. You cannot use `.vue` files ATM. There are solutions out there but they're not simple. Snowpack is currently looking for someone to write a \"short guide for authoring .vue SFC’s and then compiling them to valid JS\".\n3. We still use babel. I think this would be hard to get rid of given our use of TypeScript and module aliasing. A faster alternative is [sucrase](https://github.com/alangpierce/sucrase) which is an \"alternative to Babel that allows super-fast development builds\".\n4. As you cannot use `.vue` files and you cannot import `css` files, all must import css as you normally would in a website (ie. using a `style` block). Luckily, one can easily use [Tailwind](https://tailwindcss.com/) to style components (more information [here](https://www.snowpack.dev/#tailwind-css)).\n\n## References\nUse watchman to run go-tspath and then sucrase. Output to lib. Run the servor app. Voila. Maybe try to run Electron too.\n\n- https://github.com/joseluisq/go-tspath\n- https://github.com/remy/nodemon/blob/master/doc/events.md#states\n- https://github.com/remy/nodemon/issues/1383\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjsmith%2Fvue-fast","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjsmith%2Fvue-fast","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjsmith%2Fvue-fast/lists"}
