Create a New React App with degit

Our goal is to create an application that allows us and others to create and manage event listings to help others discover events in their area. The first step in getting there is getting set up with a new application that we can start building upon.

In this first lesson, we’ll dig right in by creating a new React application on top of Vite. We’ll learn how we can use an existing template cloned to our local filesystem using degit, to ultimately give us the ability to more quickly start a new project with some templated groundwork that we can use between this and other new projects.

We’ll explore our new application including some of the basic UI and routing that will allow us to jump right into getting started wiring it up with Appwrite.

What You’ll Learn

• Create a new React app from a starter template
• Get familiar with how the app is organized including routing
