AWS Amplify React+Vite Starter Template

This repository provides a starter template for creating applications using React+Vite and AWS Amplify, emphasizing easy setup for authentication, API, and database capabilities.

Overview

This template equips you with a foundational React application integrated with AWS Amplify, streamlined for scalability and performance. It is ideal for developers looking to jumpstart their project with pre-configured AWS services like Cognito, AppSync, and DynamoDB.

Features

• Authentication: Setup with Amazon Cognito for secure user authentication.
• API: Ready-to-use GraphQL endpoint with AWS AppSync.
• Database: Real-time database powered by Amazon DynamoDB.

Local Development

To run the application locally:

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

2. Start the local backend sandbox:

npx ampx sandbox

This will start a local instance of your Amplify backend services. The sandbox provides local development capabilities without deploying to the cloud.

3. Start the development server:

npm run dev

The application will be available at http://localhost:5173

For testing:

npm run test      # Run tests once
npm run test:dev  # Run tests in watch mode

Note: The npx ampx sandbox command requires:

• AWS Amplify CLI installed (npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli)
• Valid AWS credentials configured
• Amplify project initialized (amplify init)

Deploying to AWS

For detailed instructions on deploying your application, refer to the deployment section of our documentation.
