Vite Patterns

Build tool and dev server patterns for Vite 8+ projects. Covers configuration, environment variables, proxy setup, library mode, dependency pre-bundling, and common production pitfalls.

When to Use

• Configuring vite.config.ts or vite.config.js
• Setting up environment variables or .env files
• Configuring dev server proxy for API backends
• Optimizing build output (chunks, minification, assets)
• Publishing libraries with build.lib
• Troubleshooting dependency pre-bundling or CJS/ESM interop
• Debugging HMR, dev server, or build errors
• Choosing or ordering Vite plugins
