About

What is Vite?

Vite (French for 'quick') is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects. It consists of a dev server with instant Hot Module Replacement (HMR) and a build command that bundles your code with Rollup. Used by Vue, Svelte, Solid, Qwik, Astro, Nuxt, and hundreds of other frameworks.
