library3.0.1jsnpmunverified

Seamlessly integrate Elm into Vite projects. Current stable version is 3.0.1, with pre-releases up to 3.1.0-2. This plugin compiles .elm files during Vite's build and dev server, supporting HMR. Key differentiators: minimal configuration, supports Elm’s default compiler and custom via node-elm-compiler. ESM-only since v3, requiring Vite 5+. Active development with occasional pre-releases.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

elm

✓ import elm from 'vite-plugin-elm'

✗ const elm = require('vite-plugin-elm')

Default export. Since v3, package is ESM-only, so require() fails.

default

✓ import elm from 'vite-plugin-elm'

✗ import { elm } from 'vite-plugin-elm'

The plugin is a default export, not a named export. Named import will be undefined.

vite-plugin-elm

✓ import elm from 'vite-plugin-elm'

✗ import ElmPlugin from 'vite-plugin-elm'

Any name works for default import, but elm is conventional.

Sets up Vite to compile Elm files using vite-plugin-elm. Import the default export and add it to the plugins array.

// vite.config.js import { defineConfig } from 'vite'; import elm from 'vite-plugin-elm'; export default defineConfig({ plugins: [elm()] });
