vite

Next-generation frontend build tool with native ESM dev server, HMR, and Rolldown-powered production builds.

- Fast dev server using native ES modules and hot module replacement; production builds optimized with Rolldown bundler and Oxc transformer

- Configuration via vite.config.ts with support for conditional configs, environment variables, and plugin API for extending build behavior

- Built-in features include import.meta.glob for dynamic imports, asset queries (?raw, ?url), and HMR API for custom refresh logic

- Library mode and SSR support with ssrLoadModule and JavaScript API for programmatic builds

- Vite 8 introduces multi-environment API for custom runtimes and migration path from traditional bundlers

Vite
