This project was created from official starter app template and simplified by removing handling of query string params

It's configured with a public Bay Town Plant imodel, authentication was changed to get iTwin Sandbox token instead of interactive sign-in. It works in local dev server, but it's not after importing this project to codesandbox.io or Stackblitz. CORS is blocking the request. A hacky workaround is to get auth token manually and paste it as a constant in Auth.ts file

This is an experiment to demonstrate that iTwin.js viewer app can be configured with vite.js instead of official webpack + @bentley/react-scripts setup.

vite.config.ts contains bare minimum to get the starter app running. I found that handling sass transpilation of iTwin.js libraries is especially problematic, I couldn't find a ready to use vite plugin to cover it. The config has a cheap and dirty resolver, to handle errors that surfaced while running this app, but it's not production ready at all.

iTwin.js viewer needs assets to be copied to public folder. There is vite-plugin-static-copy plugin which can do that for build output, but it's not making a required copy before starting a local dev server. I used copyfiles cli script as a quick workaround.
