SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Vite programmatic API enables developers to embed and automate Vite-driven tooling inside custom applications, CI, or IDEs, removing the need to manually manage dev servers and builds.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Launch and control a dev server with createServer() and listen(), for custom workflows and middleware integration.
  • Run production builds with build() and render previews with preview().
  • Resolve and merge configurations with resolveConfig() and mergeConfig(), load environment variables via loadEnv(), and read config files with loadConfigFromFile().
  • Transform code and assets programmatically using transformWithOxc() (and transformWithEsbuild for older Vite versions).

Quick Start

Start by creating a server with createServer(), call listen() to start it, then use build() for production outputs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I control a Vite dev server programmatically inside custom tooling?

Use the Vite programmatic API to control a dev server by calling createServer() and listen(). This embeds Vite into custom tooling, IDE plugins, or CI pipelines without manual CLI management.

Can I load Vite config files and environment variables in a custom script?

Yes, you can load Vite config files and environment variables programmatically. Use loadConfigFromFile() to read configuration and loadEnv() to handle environment variable loading in custom workflows.

What is the best way to run a Vite production build in an automated pipeline?

To run a Vite production build in an automated pipeline, call the build() function directly in your script. This programmatically executes the build process and outputs production assets.

Does Vite support programmatic code transforms for custom development tasks?

Vite supports programmatic code transforms for custom development tasks. Use transformWithOxc() to transform code and assets, with transformWithEsbuild() available for older Vite versions.

How do I resolve and merge multiple Vite configurations at runtime?

To resolve and merge Vite configurations at runtime, use the resolveConfig() and mergeConfig() functions. These handle various config sources and apply config resolution within custom applications.
