.env File

The .env files have some predefined key value pairs that are generated based on the answer you've given while scaffolding the app.

If you didn't provide any values, then a default path will be set. This env variables are used for api request in axios configuration file and if graphql is used then the VITE_SCHEMA_PATH will be used to set the path of schema

Where are the env variables used?

src/generated/axiosHelper.ts (VITE_API_URL)
codegen.yml (VITE_SCHEMA_URL)

VITE_SCHEMA_PATH = http://localhost:9000/query
VITE_API_URL = http://localhost:9000/query

Other Packages (Experiments & Recommendations)

Vitest :A blazing fast unit-test framework powered by Vite.
We are current experimenting on setting up Vitest and once this is finalized. It will be added to create-rara-app
react-hook-form: For forms
This probably will never be added as a default dependancy on create-rara-app. But it is recommended to use this package when you need any form related libraries.
zustand: For state management
No state management packages will be added as a default dependancy on create-rara-app for now. Though, we will be experimenting with redux, redux toolkit, zustand, Xstate. And if we ever come to agree on any state management, then we might be considering adding a state management library on create-rara-app. For now, we are recommending zustand.
