It uses native ES modules in the browser during development and is built on the ultra-fast **esbuild** bundler (or Rollup for production). ## Key features of Vite 1. **Instant dev server start** - no preliminary build of the whole project is needed. 2. **Very fast code updates** - only the changed module is reloaded. 3. **Native support for TS, JSX, Vue, React, and CSS modules out of the box.** 4. **Rollup build for production** - the final bundles are optimized and compact. ## How it works - in development mode, Vite serves the source files to the browser as ES modules, avoiding a long rebuild - in production, it builds the whole project, but with heavy optimizations already applied ## Summary Vite is a tool that speeds up development and builds thanks to ES modules, next-level HMR, and minimal delay between a code change and the result in the browser.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
