vite-cep-plugin

library2.2.0jsnpmunverified

A Vite plugin for bundling Adobe CEP (Common Extensibility Platform) Extension panels. Current stable version is 2.2.0, released with regular updates. It integrates Vite's fast development server and build pipeline into Adobe CEP workflows, supporting TypeScript, React, Vue, and Svelte out of the box. Unlike older workflows using Webpack or manual scripts, this plugin provides HMR, CSS modules, and optimized builds. Intended to be used with the Bolt CEP boilerplate but works standalone. It is ESM-only, requires CEP 8+ (CC 2018+), and automatically handles manifest generation and zipping for distribution.
