webr + lit + vite npm template

A quick way to start a new WebR project with:

• WebR
  • Comes with an r.js that has some batteries included with more on the way
• Pyodide (via CDN; uninitialized; just there if you need it)
• Lit: Three basic components available now, but more coming soon
  • action-button.js: a simple button that does what you tell it to when pressed
  • ojs-plot.js: a very generic Observable Plot component
  • status-message.js: the "WebR: Loading…/Loaded" thingy, leveled up a bit
• Vite: fast build system
• Light/Dark mode CSS based on Tachyons
• An initial index.html that shows off the components and the entire CSS design system

To get started:

npx create-webr-vite-lit my-webr-project

Initialize it:

cd my-webr-project
mv _gitignore .gitignore # i'll eventually do this for you
npm install

Test!

npx vite --port=4000
