Create the app

We will use TypeScript & **Webpack** for this tutorial and enable Shadow DOM to keep our styles encapsulated. Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with these concepts yet; you will learn as we go.

Webpack is not installed as part of this npx script  
npx makes aurelia crypto-prices -s dev,typescript,shadow-dom,mocha

The docs also reference the package [GitHub - Vheissu/aurelia-crypto-prices: The accompanying code for the Aurelia 2 cryptocurrency tutorial.](https://github.com/Vheissu/aurelia-crypto-prices)  
Since that code has webpack, there is a line in package.json “start”: “webpack serve”. In the npx generated code, it is “start”: “vite”

When you get to **Seeing what we have so far** and do npm run start, browser page is blank. There is code there, but, I don’t think the SRC folder data is compiling. I did verify the coingecko api is functioning.

Thanks

Sorry for the delay @regolas but this has been fixed. It’s due to the fact some changes were made to the defaults of the `makes` CLI and Aurelia itself in regards to decorators and whatnot. The example code has been updated too.
