    Does the import of external asset files (CSS, JS, and fonts) follow the same procedure?

      External assets as in from a CDN? No, you should just be able to plop the <link/> or <script> for those directly within your EdgeJS page/layout.

      If the assets are being handled by Vite, then yes the process will be the same. You can also use the asset() helper to reach for specific files as well.

    I setup a project for adonisjs from scatch and it seems to be already following the 2 separate entrypoints for app.css and app.js

    It's been nearly a year since you published this so maybe you're already aware, Vite is French for "quick" and is pronounced "veet" … just for future videos etc.

      Thank you, secondman!! Yeah, the folks in the YouTube comments quickly provided feedback when this lesson was released. My pronunciation should be fixed from, I believe, this lesson onward.
