Alternatives to Vite
6 alternatives found
Vite (French for 'fast') is a next-generation frontend build tool and dev server created by Evan You (creator of Vue.js), first released in 2020. Vite solves the slow development server problem that plagued webpack-based tools: instead of bundling the entire app before serving, Vite serves source files over native ES modules (supported by all modern browsers) and only transforms files on request.
