vite-plugin-builder is a Vite plugin designed to simplify the setup of dual compilation for Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and Client-Side Rendering (CSR) in Vite projects. It allows you to build both server and client entry points in a single Vite project, streamlining the development of modern web applications that require both SSR and CSR functionality.

• Dual Compilation: Supports compiling both SSR and CSR in a single project.
• Vite Integration: Designed to work seamlessly with Vite, leveraging its fast build system and hot module replacement.
• SPA (Single-Page Application) Support: Makes it easier to manage the SSR and CSR workflows for modern SPAs.
• TypeScript Support: Written in TypeScript, providing full type safety and better developer experience.
• Minimal Setup: Easy to integrate with minimal configuration required.

To install vite-plugin-builder in your Vite project, you can use npm or yarn:

npm install vite-plugin-builder --save-dev

or

yarn add vite-plugin-builder --dev

For detailed documentation, please refer to the main README.md file located in the plugin package.

You can explore a basic usage example by looking at the basic example in the examples folder.

1. Install the plugin as a dev dependency (as shown above).
2. Import and configure the plugin in your vite.config.ts file.

import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import path from "path";
import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react-swc";
import builder from "vite-plugin-builder";
// https://vite.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
  base: "/",
  plugins: [
    react(),
    // Simple Configuration
    builder({
      serverEntry: "server/main.js",
      serverConfig: {
        outDir: "sandbox",
      },
      clientEntry: {
        main: "index.html",
      },
      clientConfig: {
        outDir: "sandbox/spa",
      },
    }),
  ],
});

This configuration generates the following structure:

# Server Out Dir
#/sandbox
/sandbox/app.js
/sandbox/bin/[name]-[hash].js
/sandbox/assets/[name]-[hash].[ext]
# Client Out Dir
#/sandbox/spa
/sandbox/spa/index.html
/sandbox/spa/js/[name]-[hash].js
/sandbox/spa/assets/[name]-[hash].[ext]
