Vite bootstraps modern JavaScript applications and provides development tooling for a React app. It supplies the minimum structure needed to experiment with WebAssembly, while bundling packages into modules that JavaScript can import. section 9.4
Vite
Vite is a frontend build tool that provides development-server and asset-bundling tooling for modern JavaScript applications.
How Refactoring to Rust covers it
- How deep it goes
- Demonstrates project creation and plugin configuration, stopping short of detailed bundler internals.
- Examples
- Uses a React project, vite.config.js, WebAssembly plugins, and a component that fetches papers asynchronously.
- What it assumes
- Assumes npm installation while introducing application bootstrapping, bundling, and React integration through concrete steps.
- What you can do after
- Operate Vite via npm commands and configure it to integrate React components with bundled WebAssembly.
- How it connects
- Connects React, JavaScript, npm, WebAssembly, bundlers, and asynchronous module imports.
