ViteJs

[usu]

Revisiting #484 as I had to use again my (slow) notebook for the upcoming Hackathon :-)

Is this something that looks interesting to you?

I guess I could make it workable with another hour or two. At the moment only the Login screen and the home screen works.

Pending:

• Fix font inter-ui
• Fix all imports without file ending .vue
• Find replacement for Webpack's require.context (Does vite provide a require.context-like API? vitejs/vite#77)

Can Vite only handle files with .vue extension?

Nice! Ideally I'd like to use the same build tool for local development and building for production, so there are no unexpected surprises. Can vite also build the finished bundle?
Also, would this work for the client side part of the print service as well? (not a big problem if it does not in my eyes, since it's a separate service)

Vite should be able to handle anything that is Javascript. If I recall correctly, with version 2 Vite not even depends on Vue anymore and is framework agnostic.

What changes is that the file extension cannot be omitted anymore for importing Vue files. This is by design and will stop working in upcoming releases of vue-cli as well.

Yes, vite can also build for production:
https://vitejs.dev/guide/build.html

It uses rollup under the hood for building. Haven't tried it yet, though.

Theoretically, yes. Haven't tried it yet & it's still marked as experimental:

Cool!
