Error: @vitejs/plugin-react can't detect preamble. Something is wrong.
Root Cause: Compiled JavaScript files (.js) in src/components/ were interfering with Vite's React plugin. TypeScript was emitting JS files that conflicted with Vite's transformation.
Solution:
- Removed all compiled
.jsfiles fromsrc/directory (18 files) - Added
"noEmit": truetotsconfig.json - Vite now handles all compilation exclusively
- Added JS files to
.gitignoreto prevent future issues
Error: Failed to load app data. Please refresh the page.
Root Cause:
- Data files were in
data/directory (not served by Vite) - API paths didn't have leading
/(e.g.,data/articles.jsoninstead of/data/articles.json)
Solution:
- Moved
data/folder →public/data/ - Updated paths in
app.config.tsto use/data/... - Vite now serves JSON files from public directory
- All data loads successfully
Error: Failed to load resource: 404 on main.tsx, styles.css, etc.
Root Cause: Incorrect Vite project structure
Solution:
- Moved
index.htmlto project root - Simplified
vite.config.ts(removed unnecessary options) - All resources now resolve correctly with proper base path
✅ Compiled JS Files: All src/**/*.js and tests/**/*.js (no longer needed)
✅ Duplicate Configs: vite.config.js, vitest.config.js
✅ Old Code: src/app.ts, src/views/ (replaced by React components)
✅ Duplicate HTML: public/index.html (using root index.html)
✅ Data: data/ → public/data/ (now served by Vite)
✅ tsconfig.json: Added "noEmit": true (no JS emission)
✅ app.config.ts: Fixed data paths with leading /
✅ .gitignore: Prevents compiled JS commits
✅ package.json: Added clean script
npm run dev- Runs on http://localhost:3000/
- Hot module replacement works
- No errors in console
