Cista Vue Frontend

The frontend is a Single-Page App implemented with Vue 3. Development uses the Vite server together with the main Python backend, but in production the latter also serves the prebuilt frontend files.

npm install
npm run dev

Recommended IDE Setup

VSCode + Volar (and disable Vetur) + TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar).

Type Support for `.vue` Imports in TS

TypeScript cannot handle type information for .vue imports by default, so we replace the tsc CLI with vue-tsc for type checking. In editors, we need TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar) to make the TypeScript language service aware of .vue types.

If the standalone TypeScript plugin doesn't feel fast enough to you, Volar has also implemented a Take Over Mode that is more performant. You can enable it by the following steps:

Disable the built-in TypeScript Extension
1. Run Extensions: Show Built-in Extensions from VSCode's command palette
2. Find TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features, right click and select Disable (Workspace)
Reload the VSCode window by running Developer: Reload Window from the command palette.

Customize configuration

See Vite Configuration Reference.

Project Setup

npm install

Compile and Hot-Reload for Development

npm run dev

Note: you need to run the cista --dev -l :8000 backend server, where Vite will forward the API requests, concurrently in another terminal.

Type-Check, Compile and Minify for Production

npm run build

This is also called by hatch build during Python packaging.
