vite-plugin-target

library0.1.1jsnpmunverified

A Vite plugin that makes Vite support Electron (main, preload, renderer) and Node.js targets. Current stable version is 0.1.1 with no frequent releases; it provides a minimal, configuration-based approach to adapt Vite's build for non-browser environments. Its key differentiator is unified API for multiple targets, though alternative tools like electron-vite or vite-plugin-electron offer more comprehensive Electron support. The plugin is early-stage and may have limited community adoption.

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe plugin is in early development (v0.1.1); API may change without major version bump.

fix

Pin to exact version and check changelog before upgrading.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaFor Electron renderer with nodeIntegration disabled, importing electron may fail unless handled differently.

fix

Set nodeIntegration: true or use alternative approach (e.g., preload with contextBridge).

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe plugin only works with Vite's ESM build; CJS output is not supported for target environments.

fix

Ensure Vite's build target and format are set appropriately (e.g., esm).

affects: >=0.0.0
