What is vite-node?

The vite-node package is a tool that allows you to run Node.js scripts with Vite's native ES modules support, providing features such as hot module replacement (HMR) and TypeScript support out of the box. It is designed to work with Vite's ecosystem and can be used for tasks like server-side rendering (SSR) and testing.

What are vite-node's main functionalities?

Running Node.js scripts with ES modules

This feature allows you to run Node.js scripts that use ES module syntax, leveraging Vite's module resolution and transformation capabilities.

import { createServer } from 'vite-node/server';

const server = createServer({
  // Vite's options here
});

server.moduleGraph.ensureEntryFromUrl('/path/to/your/module.js');

Hot Module Replacement (HMR)

vite-node supports HMR, enabling developers to have a more interactive development experience by automatically reloading modules when changes are detected.

import { createServer } from 'vite-node/server';

const server = createServer({
  // Vite's options here
});

server.watcher.on('change', (file) => {
  server.moduleGraph.invalidateModule(file);
});

TypeScript support

With vite-node, you can run TypeScript files directly without pre-compilation, as it integrates with Vite's built-in TypeScript support.

import { createServer } from 'vite-node/server';

const server = createServer({
  // Vite's options here
});

server.moduleGraph.ensureEntryFromUrl('/path/to/your/typescript-module.ts');
