vite_deno_dnt v0.1.0

vite-deno-plugin

A Vite plugin that can resolve Deno modules.

• Run Vite without node_modules directory.
• URL import just works.
• Import map support.

Motivation

Deno now supports npm module loading and can run Vite. However, the development experience with Deno is not consistent with Vite, as Vite tries to load modules from node_modules, which requires a node_modules directory and --node-modules-dir flag. By using this plugin, the same module resolution as in Deno can be used inside Vite.

Getting Started

Configure a plugin in vite.config.mts(NOT vite.config.ts).

import { defineConfig } from 'npm:vite@4.5.0';
import viteDeno from 'https://deno.land/x/vite_deno_plugin/mod.ts';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [viteDeno({})],
});

$ deno run -A npm:vite@4.5.0 . --config ./vite.config.mts

Config

importMapFilename

Specify the filename of import map. Default value is deno.json.

viteDeno({
  importMapFilename: "deno.json"
});

Known Issues

• Currently npm:* specifier is not supported. So you have to load npm modules via https://esm.sh/ instead.
