Vite-plugin-pug NPM

vite-plugin-pug

A plugin that makes Vite parse <pug src="example.pug"></pug> in your index.html. The rendered template replaces this tag with the compiled markup.

:information_source: Vue single file components don’t require this plugin, adding Pug to the dependency list is enough. — aka npm i -D pug

Features

CommonJS and ES module builds.
Handle self-closing pug tags.
Works with multiple pug tags.
Generated TypeScript declarations.
Reload when saving changes on a .pug file.
Support Pug local variables.
Templates for multiple inputs.
Experimental hot module reloading functionality.
Handle adding or removing files.

Contribution

~~After Rollup~~ I started to use Vite recently but this is not a reason to leave my beloved template format behind. Its lack of active Pug plugins made me make one quickly. It does the job to me, I will extend it when I need it. :suspect:

If it doesn't match with your setup please start a new discussion about it, I'm interested to see other workflows. If something is simply not working, please raise an issue. PRs certainly welcome! (.❛ ᴗ ❛.)
