Next Generation Frontend Tooling

💡 Instant Server Start
⚡️ Lightning Fast HMR
🛠️ Rich Features
📦 Optimized Build
🔩 Universal Plugin Interface
🔑 Fully Typed APIs

Vite (French word for "quick", pronounced /viːt/, like "veet") is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects. It consists of two major parts:

A dev server that provides rich feature enhancements over native ES modules, for example extremely fast Hot Module Replacement (HMR).
A build command that bundles your code with Rolldown, pre-configured to output highly optimized static assets for production.

In addition, Vite is highly extensible via its Plugin API and JavaScript API with full typing support.
