Deploying a Vite or Webpack frontend to static hosting requires structuring the project with a dist output directory, configuring publicPath, enabling hash routing, and uploading the build to CloudBase static hosting.

Integrating the CloudBase Web SDK for authentication and database operations involves installing the SDK via npm install, initializing it with your environment ID, and calling its APIs to manage user auth and data queries.

Using hash routing for static hosting deployments prevents broken paths during page refreshes or direct URL access, because the hosting server always serves the single entry point file without needing complex server-side rewrite rules.

You need a specific project structure to use CloudBase Web SDK that separates frontend source code in the src directory, build output in the dist directory, and CloudBase cloud functions in a cloudfunctions directory.

To query the environment ID for your web app using CloudBase, use the envQuery function provided by the CloudBase Web SDK after installing dependencies and initializing the client.

CloudBase static hosting works with modern frontend tooling like Vite or Webpack by configuring the build output directory and publicPath correctly, enabling seamless deployment of modern web apps.
