Build a Reusable Footer - Build a Reusable Footer

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

If I try to copy the completed project code into a Vite/React app installed on my local computer using VSCode, all I get is a blank screen, but my code passes the freeCodeCamp tests. As soon as I switch the import statement in my index.html file to anything other than the default “./src/main.jsx”, I breaks. Why is that? I was hoping I’d be able to directly replicate projects from fCC in my local environment.

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>Reusable Footer Component</title>

I do have something resembling a hypothesis but I don’t entirely know it’s accuracy. FreeCodeCamp is using Babel to transform the React code into something that’s compatible with browser-based Javascript.

Vite doesn’t do this and doesn’t mess around with data-plugins and presets.
