Vite (French: [vit], like "veet") is a local development server written by Evan You,[1] the creator of Vue.js, and used by default by Vue and for React project templates. It has support for TypeScript and JSX. It uses Rollup and esbuild internally for bundling.[2]
It monitors files as they're being edited and upon file save the web browser reloads the code being edited through a process called Hot Module Replacement (HMR)[3] which works by just reloading the specific file being changed using ES6 modules (ESM) instead of recompiling the entire application.
Vite provides built-in support for server-side rendering (SSR). By default, it listens on TCP port 5173. It is possible to configure Vite to serve content over HTTPS and proxy requests (including WebSocket) to a back-end web server (such as Apache HTTP Server or lighttpd).
Features and performance
[edit]Vite has a Hot Module Replacement (HMR) system, which reduces wait times during development. Vite supports frameworks such as React, Vue, and Svelte, and has server-side rendering (SSR), code-splitting, and asynchronous loading.
Vite's production build times are fast compared to traditional build tools, clocking in at 3.37 seconds versus Webpack’s 10.82 seconds and Parcel’s 9.01 seconds. Vite is framework-agnostic and integrates seamlessly with tools such as Vitest for testing, Astro for content-driven sites, and Slidev for presentations.[4]
