Your First React Project: Vite + TypeScript, Project Structure, StrictMode and React DevTools
We build a project skeleton for the series with Vite's react-ts template, feature folders, an @/ alias from a single source via Vite 8's resolve.tsconfigPaths, Oxlint's hook rules and a dev proxy that forwards /api requests to the Bookstore API. With real output we show that StrictMode renders twice and runs effects setup-cleanup-setup in development while the production build runs everything once, and that without the proxy the browser refuses to read the response because of CORS.
