Vite 6 is important, here's why

[@markshall94]

Would it be fair to say that Vite has had almost more of an impact in the web-dev world than Vue has?

[@devin-little]

definitely it would be. idek why vue has so many stars on GitHub I honestly think vite should have way more

[@TheBswan]

Significantly more impact than Vue

[@tonystroemsnaes554]

yes

[@samuelmorkbednarzkepler]

I dont think thats much of a debate. And I say that as a Vue fanatic. Altough, you could argue that since Vite was supposed to be for vue, therfore any impact vite has is by extension Vue`s impact. And I guess from that point of view vue has had more of an impact because Vue's impact encompases all of vite's impact pluss its own impact in other areas.

[@SeanCassiere]

Nikhil has spoken about how he's also looking at possibly using Vite's Environment API to reduce the Vinxi magic and rather turn it more into an orchestration tool. Edit: We (at TanStack Start) aren't looking to drop Vinxi anytime soon. Evan has hinted at there being a closer integration between Vite and Nitro that may be coming in the future, which is probably the only avenue of exploration we'd make if required.

[@dezly-macauley]

Bun + Vite + Svelte are the only reason why I go near Front-End Development. Especially Vite. Now I can spend more time actually learning TS than fighting with some random issue.

[@Z4KIUS]

honestly I don't know whether it's Bun or Vite doing the magic but not having to know that is nice too, it's been such a pain to make tsc and node happy!

[@incarnateTheGreat]

I purposely built two different projects with Next and Remix respectively just to see the difference. I was blown away with how easy and fast Remix is. Next works, it has RSC, and Turbopack is a nice touch, but I'm honestly fine with the simplicity and speed that Remix provides. Also, using Context to support useLoaderData and useGetLoaderData is wonderful.

[@fischi9129]

just soämäe clarification, H3 is part of the unjs echosystem and is a minimal backend li rary e.g. Express, nitro is built upon it and is a backend framework, it adds deployment configs, db connectors, caching etc. Vinxi is built on top of Nitro to have multiple things. But H3 is an integral part of Nitro (nitro doesn't work without it) and Nitro is an integral part of vinxi.

Hey Theo, you said you think Storybook sucks... why? For the technical setup? For the functionality? Or even the whole idea? Any alternatives you'd recommend?

[@snowe..]

Theo says a bunch of stuff sucks when it doesn't, and says a bunch of stuff is good when it isn't. If you like storybook then use storybook.

[@horstcredible4247]

​@@snowe.. Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I know Theo does that a lot. It's not that I'm changing my professional decision made for the company I'm working for years ago because of a side comment in a KZbin video. Not a fan of hype engineering. Business uses the tool to give feedback early, devs use it a lot for a11y and more. Works great for us. But I love to hear different opinions and views about things. We can always learn. And that's why I always ask why in such cases.

[@leob_v2]

I * really * like Vite...but migrating a large project to it was really difficult and was scrapped in the end. After a while, we tried again, with rsbuild - did it in 2 days, there's barely any config, and the HMR and build speed still astonish us daily, months later...

[@ajithav2011]

I am in a similar situation. What were the issues you faced when migrating to vite?

[@leob_v2]

​@@ajithav2011 For us, it was: a) incompatibility with some of the libraries we're using - primarily Antd 3.x and b) how "hard-fixed" some of the defaults are. (Antd is a separate story, as we migrated to 5.x, only to find out first-hand about horrible performance issues that there is no resolution for until 6.x, so had to stay with 3), With Vite, and going for least configuration, we needed to do a lot of work in the project to overcome the errors and warnings - admittedly, it's good defaults, and most of our problems came from doing non-standard stuff that use of webpack and plugins introduced over time, but it wasn't easy to do gradually - more of a all or nothing approach. Compared to that, with rsbuild, we got even more performance (frontend build and deploy went from 1.9 min with webpack to 10 sec total with rsbuild) , equal ability to just remove 20+ dev packages of different webpack and babel plugins, and the migration was just less painful / more gradual...We got it working very quickly, and then polished. For Vite, it was 90% of work needed up-front, just to get the app running. I think a lot of it is project/situation-specific, and if starting with a fresh project, it's a great choice - I really like the overall feel of it. But rsbuild gives no reason to be avoided, and comes with some strong points on top as well.

[@EscherSketcher]

Same. I tested both Vite and RSBuild. Ended up switching a large CRA app to RSBuild w ease. Some things I noticed: Vite had problems w file extensions. Like having JSX in a .js file. RSBuild is crazy fast in starting the dev server, hmr, and building a dist. Both are great imo. But one worked better for our use case. And we still use ViteTest for testing.

[@leob_v2]

@@ajithav2011 Not sure why my detailed reply was removed...

[@leob_v2]

​@@ajithav2011 I'll try again shorter. A) Incompatibility with some of the libraries we're using - like Antd 3.x B) A lot of work to overcome errors and warnings - defaults are really good, but if going for least configuration, kind of hard-wired, so it's difficult to work around them.

[@lucacampli3652]

What's so extremely complicated about it? It surely add complexity but like every new paradigm you just need to get used to it. 99% of the times you just have to mindful of not calling browser APIs outside of useEffect or check if you are in the browser or not before calling it

[@kyuss789]

Depends on what you are building. Sometimes you need to generate the base html rather than serve it statically, conditionally adding head tags based on region, AB testing your assets. Etc somethings are just cleaner and easier when you can dynamically generate the first thing a user sees Basic SSR for initial page render is not hard or complex. It’s server components etc that make it difficult

[@Alkaris]

There's too many frameworks for basically doing the same thing, it's nice there are different options to choose from, but it just feels as if though people just keep creating new frameworks for the sake of making new frameworks around certain things, when one or two already exists and does most of or all of what they want already by copying the same features of the ones that already exist, but with little extra things added in that they want to see. Having too many different frameworks just complicates things, and if you ever try to step away from one to move to another, you end up having to change a lot of your stuff to convert to the new stuff.
