React, Vue, and other SPAs
Build and deploy single-page applications to Ampt.
Ignoring Buildtime Only Files
If you are using a SPA framework or static site generator that requires a build step, you can store your source files in your project directory and configure your output directory to be /static. To prevent Ampt from syncing source files to your developer sandbox, you can add an .amptignore file in the root of your project and add a list of directories and files you do not wish to sync.
For example, if your front-end source files are stored in /src, your .amptignore file should contain the following:
.amptignore./src
note
Please be sure to restart your shell after changing the .amptignore file.
Managing SPA dependencies
Any SPA related dependencies you may have defined in your package.json are only needed at build time when deploying to a stage environment.
For example, if a large React dependency like @mui/material is defined in dependencies, Ampt's builder will assume these are runtime dependencies, and include them in your final bundle. This could lead to bundle size limits being hit. Instead, include any SPA dependencies as devDependencies:
json"devDependencies": { "react": "^18.2.0", "react-dom": "^18.2.0", "@mui/material": "^5.13.0", "vite": "^4.0.3" }, "dependencies": { "@ampt/sdk": "^0.0.1-beta.41", "express": "^4.18.2" },
