# ⚡️ Viact

<p>Viact is a starter template for React TypeScript that uses Vitejs, which supports RTL for specific styles, proxy fetching API (to fix CORS errors) and a simple mock REST API server. <br />Additionally, Is set up VScode, Storybook, ErrorBoundary, UnoCss (atomic CSS engine), Eslint, Prettier, and more.</p>

# Synopsis & Motivation

<p>It's an opinionated setup for modern web applications (a GitHub template). This is a set of essential (and minimal) libraries, components, and utilities that developers typically require when developing React applications.</p>
<p>Almost all projects need to have a router, a UI framework, error handling, base file/folder structure, a builder, some developer tools (eslint, prettier, postcss, etc), and many more. As a starter kit, we tried to include the best options available in the above fields.</p>

# Features

<p>Viact is a minimalist starter template, it includes:</p>

# UnoCSS
Plese see this link for more information about UnoCSS:<br />
- [Unocss](https://github.com/unocss/unocss)
- [Let’s Define Exactly What Atomic CSS is](https://css-tricks.com/lets-define-exactly-atomic-css/)
- [Atomic CSS](https://acss.io/)
- [Reimagine Atomic CSS](https://antfu.me/posts/reimagine-atomic-css)
### The default CSS Preset (Atomic CSS Class)
As you might know, Tailwind and Windi CSS transform specific class names in the HTML file (or in the JSX or TSX file) to specific property styles as you need them(on-demand). <br />
A number of rules have been defined for the use of commonly used styles, Which is defined in the following file:

```
./acss.ts
```

- Support all utilities styles
- Support css Pseudo Classes/Elements
- Support group selectors, like .navbar a {...}
- Support CSS variables

### Rules:
- In classNames, spaces cannot be used (because a new class has already been defined). <br />Therefore, the underscore(_) sign should be used instead of a space. We will now replace the underscore(_) sign with a space.
- **For Group Selectors:**
	- Group Selectors must start with @
	- All selectors must end with dollar sign ($)
	- The classname can only contain one dollar sign ($)<br />
	**example:**
	```
        space between
              👆
      @.wrapper_p$fs[16px] => .wrapper p{font-size: 16px;}
      👇         👇
      👇    end group selectors
      👇
     start group selectors
	```

#### example
You can use utility classes in your components and stylesheets as usua.

| ACSS ClassName     | Corresponding CSS                                       |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| pt-[10]		      | padding-top: 1.5rem; **The default unit is the rem**      |
| py-[1.5rem]		   | padding-top: 1.5rem; <br /> padding-bottom: 1.5rem;       |
| bd-[1px_solid_#F5F5F5] | border: 1px solid #F5F5F5; |
| bdt-[1px_solid_#F5F5F5]  | border-top: 1px solid #F5F5F5;  |
| br-[10px] |  border-radius: 10px; |
| bgc-[#fff] | background-color: #fff; |
| w-[100vw] | width: 100vw; |
| fs-[1.2em] | font-size: 1.2em |
| text-[center] | text-align: center |
| px-[1rem] | padding-left: 1rem; <br /> padding-right: 1rem; |
| @.navbar_a$fs-[1.4rem] **Group Selectors** | .navbar a { font-size: 1.4rem; } |
| @.github:hover_svg$fill-[#fff] | .github:hover svg { fill: #fff !important; } |
| hover:bg[red] **Pseudo Classes** | elem:hover{background: red;} |
| after:cnt[text] **Pseudo Elements** | elem::after{content: "text"} |
| root:[--primary:#0d6efd] **Global CSS variables** | :root {--primary: #0d6efd;} |
| elem:[--primary:#0d6efd] **Local CSS variables** | elem {--primary: #0d6efd;} |

# Set Proxy (If you need)
For Set Proxy, please see and edit the `proxy` field in file `.vite.config.js`

# Fake REST API (If you need)
To create mock REST APIs, see the `mock` folder. <br />
We use `json-server` to create mock REST APIs. Plese see the following link for more information:<br />
[json-server](https://github.com/typicode/json-server)
