What is ddev-vite?

ViteJs is a modern bundler, designed to be fast.

This add-on is a low-config option that exposes Vite’s default port from DDEV so you can view the page in your browser. It is based on the article Working with Vite in DDEV - an introduction, by Matthias Andrasch. Developers are responsible for installing, maintaining, and running the Vite server. This add-on only exposes the port.

Components of the repository

• config.vite.yaml: configure DDEV to expose the port.
• install.yaml: describes how to install the service or other component.
• test.bats: test suite to confirm add-on continues to work as expected.
• Github actions setup: automates daily tests and on pull requests.

Getting started

This add-on assumes the developer has:

• Installed ViteJs via their preferred package manager.
• A valid ViteJS configuration file is present in the project root.

1. Install the add-on and restart DDEV

ddev add-on get tyler36/ddev-vite
ddev restart

1. Update vite.config.js

const port = 5173;
const origin = process.env.DDEV_PRIMARY_URL;

export default defineConfig({
    ...
    // Adjust Vites dev server for DDEV: https://vitejs.dev/config/server-options.html
    server: {
        // The following line is require until the release of https://github.com/vitejs/vite/pull/19241
        cors: { origin },
        // ----------------
        host: '0.0.0.0',
        port: port,
        origin: `${origin}:${port}`,
        strictPort: true
    },
});

1. Start Vite inside the container.

ddev npn run dev

Automatically start ViteJs

To automatically start the ViteJs server, update DDEV post-start hook in .ddev/config.yaml. For example:

hooks:
  post-start:
    - exec: npm run dev
