});

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    preact({ devtoolsInProd: true })
  ]
});

Available options

Option	Type	Default	Description
devToolsEnabled	boolean	true	Inject devtools bridge
prefreshEnabled	boolean	true	Inject Prefresh for HMR
devtoolsInProd	boolean	false	Inject devtools bridge in production bundle instead of only in development mode

Babel configuration

The babel option lets you add plugins, presets, and other configuration to the Babel transformation performed on each JSX/TSX file.

preact({
  babel: {
    presets: [...],
    // Your plugins run before any built-in transform (eg: Fast Refresh)
    plugins: [...],
    // Use .babelrc files
    babelrc: true,
    // Use babel.config.js files
    configFile: true,
  }
})
