Vite

Website: https://vite.dev/

Vite has gained popularity as a modern build tool for web development because of several key advantages over older tools like Webpack. Here’s why we choose Vite:

• Instant Hot Module Replacement (HMR): Vite provides fast HMR, allowing updates to be reflected in the browser almost instantly. This makes development faster and more efficient, especially in large projects.
• ESModules: Vite uses native ES modules in the browser, allowing for faster module resolution and the use of modern JavaScript features like import/export.
• No bundling in development: Unlike Webpack, Vite doesn’t bundle your code in development, which eliminates the need for a slow bundling process during development. It only bundles when preparing for production.
• Vite uses Rollup: under the hood for production builds, which provides highly optimized, tree-shaken, and minified bundles for the best performance.
• Code Splitting and Lazy Loading: are supported out of the box, enabling efficient production builds that load faster.
• Vite provides built-in support for TypeScript: so you don’t need to configure separate loaders or plugins as you do with Webpack.
• Vite is optimized for modern browsers that support ES Modules: This enables faster development and production builds, as the browser can load and execute JavaScript directly without needing to transform it for older environments.
• Code Splitting and Tree Shaking: Vite is focused on optimizing your bundle size with efficient code splitting and tree-shaking, ensuring you only ship the code that is actually needed.
