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.
