Overview

Vite is tooling for developing and building web projects. It provides a development server and a production build workflow, and it can be used with several interface frameworks rather than defining one application framework of its own.

How it is used

During development, the server delivers source modules and updates the browser as files change. The build command produces assets intended for deployment to a hosting environment.

A useful distinction

Development-server behavior and production output are separate concerns. Test the built application with its real asset paths and routing configuration before treating a deployment as verified.
