Scaffold new Vike app without Vike extension

In general, we recommend vike.dev/new for creating new Vike apps as it scaffolds apps that use Vike extensions such as vike-react/vike-vue/vike-solid.

But you can also create a new Vike app that doesn't use any Vike extensions. The following command scaffolds a Vike app with a fully custom React/Vue integration.

🧠
Custom integrations can be complex and we generally recommend using vike-{react,vue,solid} instead.

👉 That said, a custom integration can make sense in following scenarios:
You are building an app with a simple architecture.
For example, https://vike.dev has a simple architecture and uses a custom integration.
You can read the source code of vike-{react,vue,solid} (it's small!) and check whether you'll need most of the code or not — if you do then it most likely makes sense to use vike-{react,vue,solid}.
You have already tried vike-{react,vue,solid} but ran into a fundamental blocker with it.
We recommend starting a discussion with a vike-{react,vue,solid} maintainer.
You are curious and want to deepen your React/Vue/Solid/... knowledge.
