FAQPage Schema

How do I speed up frontend dev server startup and hot module replacement?▼

Use Vite to speed up frontend dev server startup and HMR with its native ESM workflow. It serves source files on demand, providing instant hot module replacement without full rebundling during development iterations.

Can I use Vite for server-side rendering and library mode builds?▼

Yes, Vite supports server-side rendering (SSR) for server-rendered applications and library mode for building distributable packages. Both use cases are configurable through vite.config.ts with environment-aware settings.

How do I configure Vite plugins and environment-aware settings in vite.config.ts?▼

Configure Vite plugins and environment-aware settings by using the defineConfig helper in vite.config.ts. The flexible plugin API allows custom tooling integration and framework-specific optimizations for your build process.

How does migrating to Vite 8's Rolldown affect my current Rollup and esbuild workflow?▼

Migrating to Vite 8's Rolldown replaces your Rollup and esbuild-based workflow with a unified Rust-based bundler. This transition maintains existing plugin compatibility while improving production build performance and SSR support.

Does Vite work with modern frameworks like React, Vue, Preact, and Svelte?▼

Yes, Vite works with modern frameworks including React, Vue, Preact, and Svelte. Its ESM-first architecture and plugin API provide native integration and optimized builds for these frontend frameworks.
