Vite plugin for Zenso e-ink plugins: Liquid dev rendering, manifest.json / index.liquid build emit, and plugin.zip packing — by convention (src/* in, dist/ out, no path options).

Extracted from zenso-plugin-template so all plugin projects share one build system.

Install

npm i -D @zenso/zenso-vite-plugin

Requires Node 22+ and vite 6 or 7 (peer).

Usage

// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { zensoPlugin } from '@zenso/zenso-vite-plugin';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [zensoPlugin({ zip: true, generateMockData: true })]
});

Build defaults (outDir, rollup inputs/outputs) come from the plugin's config() hook — your own build values in vite.config.ts merge over them.

Options

Option	Default	Meaning
`generateMockData`	`true`	Derive config-based mock layers + sync sparse `mock/plugin.json` (dev only). `false` renders files + inline data only.
`mock`	—	Inline mock data, highest-precedence layer. Spread imported JSONs: `zensoPlugin({ mock: { ...zensoMock, ...pluginMock } })`. Top-level `user`/`device`/`system` keys fold into the `zenso` scope.
`zip`	`true`	Pack `dist/` into `plugin.zip` after build. Object overrides zip-pack options, `false` disables.

What it does

Dev: renders src/index.liquid with the resolved mock context on /, injects dev asset refs (/src/* + HMR client), watches template / mocks / zenso.config.json / package.json with full reload. Mock layers (highest wins): inline mock: → mock/plugin.json → mock/zenso.json → derived defaults. zenso.system.timestamp_utc is stamped live per render.
Build: emits dist/index.liquid (production head assets), dist/manifest.json (allowlisted merge of zenso.config.json + package.json; fails fast on empty name / non-SemVer version), bundled dist/assets/*, then packs plugin.zip.
Only JS entry (src/main.ts) is bundled when the script capability is set.
