Blits-create

Getting Started

To get started with creation of Blits application, follow these simple steps to set up your development environment and create your first Lightning 3 App.

Installation

• Open your terminal or command prompt.

• Run the following command to start a new Blits Lightning 3 App project:

npm create @lightningjs/blits@latest

You will be guided through a short series of questions to generate a new project with all the boilerplate code you need to start building your own Lightning 3 App.

• Navigate to the newly created project directory and install the project dependencies:

cd my_blits_app
npm install

Running Your App

• After installing the dependencies, you can start your development server by running:

npm run dev

This command will create an application bundle and launch a development server using Vite.

Once the server is up and running, open your web browser and navigate to the URL displayed in the console. Congratulations! You now have your brand new Blits Lightning 3 App up and running.

Coding environment

You can use any code editor of your preference to further develop your Blits App.

We recommend using VS code, since we have a dedicated VS code extension for Blits that provides better syntax highlighting, code completion, error checking, and other features to make working with Blits easier.
