FAQ

What is Vite?

Vite (French word for "quick", pronounced /vit/, like "veet") is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects. It consists of two major parts:

A dev server that provides rich feature enhancements over native ES modules, for example extremely fast Hot Module Replacement (HMR).
A build command that bundles your code with Rollup, pre-configured to output highly optimized static assets for production.

Vite is opinionated and comes with sensible defaults out of the box, but is also highly extensible via its Plugin API and JavaScript API with full typing support.

Why was FTP's Better Vite created?

We believed that the default template for Vite was insufficient for our needs. The template required some extra functionality, and we also wanted to increase its flexibility. That's when (and why) we created FTP's Better Vite.
