What is vite?

Vite is a modern frontend build tool that provides a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects. It leverages native ES modules and is designed to serve your code via HTTP in development, enabling hot module replacement (HMR) for a fast development cycle, and bundles it for production using Rollup.

What are vite's main functionalities?

Instant Server Start

With Vite, you can start a development server instantly due to its use of native ES modules. Here's a simple command to start the server:

npx vite

Hot Module Replacement (HMR)

Vite provides out-of-the-box support for HMR, which enables you to update code and see changes in real-time without a full page reload. The code sample shows how to use HMR with a Vue application.

import { createApp } from 'vue';
const app = createApp(App);
if (import.meta.hot) {
  import.meta.hot.accept();
}

Optimized Build

For production, Vite uses Rollup to bundle your code. This results in an optimized build that's ready for deployment. The command to create a production build is straightforward.

npx vite build

Plugin System

Vite supports a rich plugin system that allows you to extend its functionality. This code sample demonstrates how to include the official Vue plugin in your Vite configuration.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [vue()]
});

TypeScript Support

Vite comes with built-in TypeScript support, allowing you to develop your application using TypeScript without additional setup. The command to start a server with TypeScript support is the same as for JavaScript.

npx vite --host
