v2.7.0
Date: 2024-02-20
We're excited to announce that support for Vite is now stable in Remix 2.7.0
! Ever since the initial unstable release of Remix Vite, we’ve been hard at work refining and extending it over the past few months with help from all of our early adopters and community contributors. This also means that Vite-only features such as SPA Mode, Server Bundles, and basename
support are now officially stable as well 😊.
For more information, check out the blog post and the Vite docs.
Layout
ExportWe've found that it's super common to create your own component in your root route to hold the shared layout/app shell between your Component
/ErrorBoundary
/HydrateFallback
. This is so common (and can also cause some minor edge-case issues such as a FOUC on hydration) that we've incorporated this as a first-class API in 2.7.0
.
You can now export an optional Layout
component from your root route which will be provided your route component, ErrorBoundary, or HydrateFallback as it's children
. For more information, please see the Layout
docs and the RFC.
React Router has long supported a basename
config that allows you to serve your app within a subpath such as http://localhost/myapp/*
without having to include the /myapp
segment in all of your route paths. This was originally omitted from Remix because v1 nested folders file-convention made it pretty easy to put your route files in a routes/myapp/
folder, giving you the same functionality. There has also been an open proposal from the community to add this functionality.
Two things have since changed that made us reconsider the lack of basename
support:
myapp.
compared to the nested folder conventionbase
config which is often (and easily) confused with the concept of a React Router basename
(when in reality it's more aligned with the old Remix publicPath
config)In 2.7.0
we've added support for a basename
in the Vite plugin config. For more information, please check out the basename
docs.
Note: This is a Vite-only feature and is not available via the esbuild
compiler.
⚠️ This is a breaking change for projects relying on Cloudflare support from the unstable Vite plugin
The Cloudflare preset (unstable_cloudflarePreset
) as been removed and replaced with a new Vite plugin:
import {
unstable_vitePlugin as remix,
- unstable_cloudflarePreset as cloudflare,
+ cloudflareDevProxyVitePlugin as remixCloudflareDevProxy,
} from "@remix-run/dev";
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
+ remixCloudflareDevProxy(),
+ remix(),
- remix({
- presets: [cloudflare()],
- }),
],
- ssr: {
- resolve: {
- externalConditions: ["workerd", "worker"],
- },
- },
});
A few notes on the new plugin:
remixCloudflareDevProxy
must come before the remix
plugin so that it can override Vite's dev server middleware to be compatible with Cloudflare's proxied environmentremixCloudflareDevProxy
can set ssr.resolve.externalConditions
to be workerd

Changelog
v2.6.0
Date: 2024-02-01
As we continue moving towards stabilizing the Vite plugin, we've introduced a few breaking changes to the unstable Vite plugin in this release. Please read the @remix-run/dev
changes below closely and update your app accordingly if you've opted into using the Vite plugin.
We've also removed the unstable_
prefix from the serverBundles
option as we're now confident in the API (#8596).
🎉 And last, but certainly not least - we've added much anticipated Cloudflare support in #8531! To get started with Cloudflare, you can use the unstable-vite-cloudflare
template:
npx create-remix@latest --template remix-run/remix/templates/unstable-vite-cloudflare
For more information, please refer to the docs at Future > Vite > Cloudflare and Future > Vite > Migrating > Migrating Cloudflare Functions.
@remix-run/server-runtime
- Add future.v3_throwAbortReason
flag to throw request.signal.reason
when a request is aborted instead of an Error
such as new Error("query() call aborted: GET /path")
(#8251)@remix-run/server-runtime
- Unwrap thrown Response
's from entry.server
into ErrorResponse
's and preserve the status code (#8577)
@remix-run/dev
- Vite: Add manifest
option to Vite plugin to enable writing a .remix/manifest.json
file to the build directory (#8575)
build/server/bundles.json
file has been superseded by the more general build/.remix/manifest.json
manifest
option@remix-run/dev
- Vite: Rely on Vite plugin ordering (#8627)
⚠️ This is a breaking change for projects using the unstable Vite plugin
The Remix plugin expects to process JavaScript or TypeScript files, so any transpilation from other languages must be done first.
For example, that means putting the MDX plugin before the Remix plugin:
import mdx from "@mdx-js/rollup";
import { unstable_vitePlugin as remix } from "@remix-run/dev";
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
+ mdx(),
remix()
- mdx(),
],
});
Previously, the Remix plugin misused enforce: "post"
from Vite's plugin API to ensure that it ran last
However, this caused other unforeseen issues
Instead, we now rely on standard Vite semantics for plugin ordering
The official Vite React SWC plugin also relies on plugin ordering for MDX
@remix-run/dev
- Vite: Remove interop with <LiveReload />
, rely on <Scripts />
instead (#8636)
⚠️ This is a breaking change for projects using the unstable Vite plugin
Vite provides a robust client-side runtime for development features like HMR, making the <LiveReload />
component obsolete
In fact, having a separate dev scripts component was causing issues with script execution order
To work around this, the Remix Vite plugin used to override <LiveReload />
into a bespoke implementation that was compatible with Vite
Instead of all this indirection, now the Remix Vite plugin instructs the <Scripts />
component to automatically include Vite's client-side runtime and other dev-only scripts
To adopt this change, you can remove the LiveReload component from your root.tsx
component:
import {
- LiveReload,
Outlet,
Scripts,
}
export default function App() {
return (
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<Outlet />
<Scripts />
- <LiveReload />
</body>
</html>
)
}
@remix-run/dev
- Vite: Only write Vite manifest files if build.manifest
is enabled within the Vite config (#8599)
⚠️ This is a breaking change for consumers of Vite's manifest.json
files
To explicitly enable generation of Vite manifest files, you must set build.manifest
to true
in your Vite config:
export default defineConfig({
build: { manifest: true },
// ...
});
@remix-run/dev
- Vite: Add new buildDirectory
option with a default value of "build"
(#8575)
⚠️ This is a breaking change for consumers of the Vite plugin that were using the assetsBuildDirectory
and serverBuildDirectory
options
This replaces the old assetsBuildDirectory
and serverBuildDirectory
options which defaulted to "build/client"
and "build/server"
respectively
The Remix Vite plugin now builds into a single directory containing client
and server
directories
If you've customized your build output directories, you'll need to migrate to the new buildDirectory
option, e.g.:
import { unstable_vitePlugin as remix } from "@remix-run/dev";
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
remix({
- serverBuildDirectory: "dist/server",
- assetsBuildDirectory: "dist/client",
+ buildDirectory: "dist",
})
],
});
@remix-run/dev
- Vite: Write Vite manifest files to build/.vite
directory rather than being nested within build/client
and build/server
directories (#8599)

and build/.vite/server-manifest.json

SPA Mode (RFC) allows you to generate your Remix app as a standalone SPA served from a static index.html
file. You can opt into SPA Mode by setting unstable_ssr: false
in your Remix Vite plugin config:
// vite.config.ts
import { unstable_vitePlugin as remix } from "@remix-run/dev";
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [remix({ unstable_ssr: false })],
});
Development in SPA Mode is just like a normal Remix app, and still uses the Remix dev server for HMR/HDR:
remix vite:dev
Building in SPA Mode will generate an index.html
file in your client assets directory:
remix vite:build
To run your SPA, you serve your client assets directory via an HTTP server:
npx http-server build/client
For more information, please refer to the SPA Mode docs.
This is an advanced feature designed for hosting provider integrations where you may want to split server code into multiple request handlers. When compiling your app into multiple server bundles, there will need to be a custom routing layer in front of your app directing requests to the correct bundle. This feature is currently unstable and only designed to gather early feedback.
You can control the server bundles generated by your Remix Vite build by setting the unstable_serverBundles
option in your vite config:
import { unstable_vitePlugin as remix } from "@remix-run/dev";
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
remix({
unstable_serverBundles: ({ branch }) => {
const isAuthenticatedRoute = branch.some(
(route) => route.id === "routes/_authenticated"
);
return isAuthenticatedRoute ? "authenticated" : "unauthenticated";
},
}),
],
});

@remix-run/dev
: Vite - Remove unstable_viteServerBuildModuleId
in favor of manually referencing virtual module name "virtual:remix/server-build"
(#8264)
⚠️ This is a breaking change for projects using the unstable Vite plugin with a custom server
This change was made to avoid issues where @remix-run/dev
could be inadvertently required in your server's production dependencies.
Instead, you should manually write the virtual module name "virtual:remix/server-build"
when calling ssrLoadModule
in development.
-import { unstable_viteServerBuildModuleId } from "@remix-run/dev";
// ...
app.all(
"*",
createRequestHandler({
build: vite
