eleventy-plugin-vite 🕚⚡️🎈🐀

A plugin to use Vite v4.0 with Eleventy v2.0.

This plugin:

• Runs Vite as Middleware in Eleventy Dev Server (try with Eleventy’s --incremental)
• Runs Vite build to postprocess your Eleventy build output

• slinkity by @Holben888: a much deeper and more comprehensive integration with Vite! Offers partial hydration and can use shortcodes to render framework components in Eleventy!
• vite-plugin-eleventy by @Snugug: uses Eleventy as Middleware in Vite (instead of the post-processing approach used here)

      },

      build: {
        mode: "production",
      },

      // New in v2.0.0
      resolve: {
        alias: {
          // Allow references to `node_modules` folder directly
          '/node_modules': path.resolve(".", 'node_modules')
        },
      }
    }
  });
};

Limitations and TODOs

• TODO: While serverless routes can be used and rendered in the dev server, Vite cannot be used to process that output yet. Issue #1: Process Serverless Output with Vite.
