The Vite Ecosystem
summary
Vite runs a dev server that avoids bundling and delivers module-level HMR for near-instant feedback, while using esbuild minification and type stripping during build. Frameworks like Nuxt 3 and Laravel adopt Vite as default, Astro and Storybook build on its Rollup plugin API, and Netlify provides a dedicated plugin for Edge deployment. Vitest is a native Vite test runner that leverages fast HMR for unit tests and has seen rapid adoption across starters and frameworks.
