Usage

Add the vite-plugin-shopify to your vite.config.js file and configure it:

import shopify from 'vite-plugin-shopify'

export default {
  plugins: [
    /* Plugin options are not required, defaults shown */
    shopify({
      // Root path to your Shopify theme directory (location of snippets, sections, templates, etc.)
      themeRoot: './',
      // Front-end source code directory
      sourceCodeDir: 'frontend',
      // Front-end entry points directory
      entrypointsDir: 'frontend/entrypoints',
      // Additional files to use as entry points (accepts an array of file paths or glob patterns)
      additionalEntrypoints: [],
      // Specifies the file name of the snippet that loads your assets
      snippetFile: 'vite-tag.liquid',
     // Specifies whether to append version numbers to your production-ready asset URLs in `snippetFile`
      versionNumbers: false
    })
  ]
}

The Shopify Vite Plugin does not require you to specify the entry points for your theme. By default, it treats JavaScript and CSS files (including preprocessed languages such as TypeScript, JSX, TSX, and Sass) within the frontend/entrypoints folder in the root of your project as entry points for Vite.

/
└── frontend/
    └── entrypoints/
        ├── theme.scss
        └── theme.ts

Adding scripts and styles to your theme

The Shopify Vite Plugin generates a vite-tag snippet which includes <script> and <link> tags, and all the liquid logic needed to load your assets.

With your Vite entry points configured, you only need to reference them with the vite-tag snippet that you add to the <head> of your theme's layout:

{% liquid
  # Relative to entrypointsDir
  render 'vite-tag' with 'theme.scss'
  render 'vite-tag' with 'theme.ts'
%}

During development, the vite-tag will load your assets from the Vite development server and inject the Vite client to enable Hot Module Replacement. In build mode, the snippet will load your compiled and versioned assets, including any imported CSS, and use the asset_url filter to serve your assets from the Shopify content delivery network (CDN).

Loading `additionalEntrypoints`

{% liquid
  # Relative to sourceCodeDir
  render 'vite-tag' with '@/foo.ts'
  render 'vite-tag' with '~/foo.ts'
%}

{% liquid
  # Relative to project root
  render 'vite-tag' with '/bar.ts' # leading slash is required
%}

Preloading stylesheets

You can pass the preload_stylesheet variable to the vite-tag snippet to enable the preload parameter of the stylesheet_tag filter. Use it sparingly. For example, consider preloading only render-blocking stylesheets. Learn more.

{% render 'vite-tag' with 'theme.scss', preload_stylesheet: true %}

Import aliases

For convenience, ~/ and @/ are aliased to your frontend folder, which simplifies imports:

import App from '@/components/App.vue'
import '@/styles/my_styles.css'

Example

See the vite-shopify-example theme for a basic demonstration of vite-plugin-shopify usage.
