Vite React Shadcn Convex Setup

Use this workflow to set up the same stack in an existing folder without creating a nested project directory.

Workflow

1. Inspect the directory first:

   • Run pwd, rg --files -uu -g '!*node_modules*' -g '!*.git*', and git status --short.
   • Read existing README.md, .env.example, docker-compose.yml, and Convex files before scaffolding.
   • Preserve user files. If Vite overwrites README.md, restore the useful existing notes afterward.

2. Scaffold Vite React TypeScript in the current folder:

   • Run npm create vite@latest . -- --template react-ts from the target root.
   • If the directory is not empty, use a TTY and choose Ignore files and continue.
   • Do not choose the option that removes existing files.
   • Decline "install and start now"; run installs explicitly afterward.
   • The npm package name should default to basename "$PWD". Verify it in package.json.
