Canvas Builder + Vite

Vite is the fastest modern front-end build tool — ideal for Bootstrap 5 projects. Canvas Builder generates clean Bootstrap 5 HTML that integrates directly into Vite-powered projects. No framework overhead required — just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Use Cases

Vite + Bootstrap 5 multi-page websites
Landing pages with Vite build pipeline
Static HTML sites with Vite asset optimisation
Prototype pages with hot-module replacement
Bootstrap 5 components in Vite + Vanilla JS

How It Works

1

Create a Vite project

npm create vite@latest my-site -- --template vanilla. This creates a minimal Vite project with an index.html entry point and main.js.

2

Install Bootstrap 5

npm install bootstrap. In main.js: import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css'; import * as bootstrap from 'bootstrap'; Bootstrap is now available globally and tree-shaken by Vite's bundler.

3

Paste Canvas Builder HTML

Copy your Canvas Builder-generated HTML into index.html (or separate HTML files for multi-page sites). Vite serves HTML files directly with hot-module replacement during development.

4

Build and deploy

npm run build outputs optimised assets to /dist. Vite automatically minifies HTML, CSS, and JS. Deploy the /dist folder to any static hosting: Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, or traditional hosting.

Benefits

Instant dev server with hot-module replacement
Optimised production build with automatic CSS/JS minification
Bootstrap 5 tree-shaking for smaller bundles
Works with Canvas Builder HTML directly — no conversion needed
Multi-page HTML support for full multi-page sites

Can I use Canvas Builder HTML directly in Vite without modification?
Yes — Vite serves HTML files directly. Copy your Canvas Builder output into index.html or create additional HTML files. No conversion needed for plain HTML/CSS/JS projects.
