React + TypeScript DevContainer Template

A VS Code DevContainer skeleton for React.js + TypeScript development. Runs Node.js 20 LTS on Debian Bookworm inside a reproducible container.

How to use

1. Clone this repository
2. Open the directory in VS Code
3. Click Reopen in Container (or run Dev Containers: Reopen in Container from the Command Palette)
   • The first run builds the Docker image; subsequent starts are fast.
4. Scaffold a new React project inside the terminal:

   # Vite (recommended — create-react-app is deprecated)
   npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react-ts
   cd my-app && npm install
   npm run dev

5. Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser

Requirements

• Docker Desktop (or Docker Engine on Linux)
• VS Code with the Dev Containers extension
