Vite Build & Dev Optimization

Best practices for managing high-performance build pipelines and dev environments with Vite.

Core Optimization

• •Code Splitting: Use dynamic imports to reduce initial bundle size.
• •Caching: Configure build output for long-term browser caching.
• •Asset Optimization: Leverage built-in support for SVG, images, and CSS modules.

Configuration Patterns

• •Environment Variables: Use .env files and import.meta.env for typed configuration.
• •Proxies: Set up server.proxy for seamless integration with backends during development.
• •Plugins: Use the Vite plugin ecosystem for tasks like PWA generation or visualizer analysis.

Usage

• •Apply when troubleshooting build errors or long load times.
• •Use for optimizing the CI/CD pipeline.
• •Reference when adding new dependencies that require specific build configurations.
