Vite
Based on Vite 8 beta (Rolldown-powered). Vite 8 uses Rolldown bundler and Oxc transformer.
Vite is a next-generation frontend build tool with fast dev server (native ESM + HMR) and optimized production builds.
Preferences
- Use TypeScript: prefer
vite.config.ts - Always use ESM, avoid CommonJS
