vite-node

Vite as Node runtime.

EXPERIMENTAL

Why?

It runs Vite's id resolving, module transforming, and most importantly, the powerful plugins system!

Usage

npx vite-node index.ts

Features

• Out-of-box ESM & TypeScript support (possible for more with plugins)
• Top-level await
• Shims for __dirname and __filename
• Respect vite.config.ts
• Access to node modules like fs, path etc.

How?

It fires up a Vite dev server, transforms the requests, and runs them in Node.

Credits

Based on @pi0's brilliant idea of having a Vite server as the on-demand transforming service for Nuxt's Vite SSR.

Thanks @brillout for kindly sharing this package name.
