Capacitor Templates for SolidJS (and vite)

This repository holds production ready Capacitor templates for building native mobile applications using SolidJS + vite. Using Capacitor, you can quickly build out a native mobile application for iOS and Android using web technology, such as SolidJS.

Getting Started

Be sure to follow our getting started guide for Capacitor to setup your environment correctly. Once your environment is set up for mobile development, you can use degit to clone one of these Capacitor templates and start building your native app with SolidJS!

When developing, you can use vite just as you would for a standard web application. For these templates, you can run npm start to boot up the vite dev server with Hot Module Replacement (HMR). Once you are ready to test your app on mobile, you can use one of the following commands to build and run your native app on your mobile device.

iOS

npm run build
npx cap run ios

Android

npm run build
npx cap run android

note: The Capacitor + SolidJS dependencies are maintained via pnpm via pnpm up -Lri. This is the reason you see a pnpm-lock.yaml. That being said, any package manager will work. The pnpn-lock.yaml file can be safely be removed once you clone a template if you would like to use another package manager like npm or yarn.

Deploying to App Stores

Once you are ready to deploy your app, you can follow our guides building your native application for the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
