Vite base config with vite 3.x

// vite.config.js
import {defineConfig} from "vite";
import symfonyPlugin from "vite-plugin-symfony";

/* if you're using React */
// import reactRefresh from "@vitejs/plugin-react-refresh";

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        /* reactRefresh(), // if you're using React */

        symfonyPlugin({
            /* defaultValues */
            servePublic: true,
            publicDirectory: 'public',
            buildDirectory: 'build',

            /* boolean or array of paths for your twig templates : true, false, ["templates/**/*.twig"] */
            refresh: false,

            /** If you set server.host: '0.0.0.0' in your vite.config.js
             * you have to set 'localhost' */
            viteDevServerHostname: null
        }),
    ],

    build: {
        rollupOptions: {
            input: {
              app: "./assets/app.js" /* relative to the root option */
            },
        },
    }
});

and your package.json :

{
    "scripts": {
        "dev": "vite",
        "build": "vite build"
    },
    "devDependencies": {
        "vite": "^4.0",
        "vite-plugin-symfony": "^0.7.3"
    }
}

From the options publicDirectory and buildDirectory, vite-plugin-symfony will automatically determine the right configuration for vite:

• base
• build.outDir

If you have a specific need you can still define your configuration on top.

With pentatrion/vite-bundle

Although it has no special dependencies, this package is intended for use with the Symfony Bundle : pentatrion/vite-bundle. This bundle provides two twig functions to load your js/css files into your templates. It also acts as a proxy by forwarding requests that are not intended for it to the Vite dev server.

Migrations

If you use previous version of the plugin consult migration page.
