Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects. It consists of a dev server with rich feature enhancements and a build command that bundles your code with Rollup.
npm create vite@latest
Instant Server Start
On-demand file serving over native ESM, no bundling required! The dev server starts instantly regardless of your application size.
Lightning Fast HMR
Hot Module Replacement (HMR) that stays fast regardless of app size. Edits are reflected in the browser almost instantly for a seamless development experience.
Rich Features
Out-of-the-box support for TypeScript, JSX, CSS and more. Use them directly without extra configuration.
Optimized Build
Pre-configured Rollup build with multi-page and library mode support. Automatic tree-shaking and CSS code-splitting.
Universal Plugin Interface
Rollup-superset plugin interface shared between dev and build. A single, consistent plugin API.
Fully Typed APIs
Flexible programmatic APIs with full TypeScript typing. First-class TypeScript support provides an excellent developer experience and IDE integration.
Flexible Plugin System
Vite's plugin system extends Rollup's well-designed plugin interface with a few extra Vite-specific options. Write a plugin once and use it for both dev and build seamlessly.
Fully Typed API
Vite ships with full TypeScript types out of the box. Enjoy an excellent developer experience with auto-completion and type checking across your entire configuration.
Your own SSR support
Vite provides low-level SSR APIs to efficiently load and update ESM-based source code in Node.js during development. Almost like server-side HMR built right in.
