What is Vite.NET

Vite.NET is a set of backend and front-end tools in order to easily integrate ASP.NET Core backends with Vite powered Single Page Applications.

Why Vite?

Vite is fast, reliable and low config. It provides a much better developer experience than Webpack and it is highly customizable when needed. It marks the next step in front-end tooling in many fronts.

It is also compatible with React, Svelte, Solid, Vue and other popular front-end frameworks and simplifies the setup for the different tools with a single build tool.

What is a Vite integration and why does this matter?

Vite allows you to integrate with any backend technology of your choice with a set of exposed configurations and APIs. A front end that is integrated with a backend can easily enjoy the benefits of shared configuration in said backend, such as layouts, server-side rendering and the embedding of a SPA (or many) in a single server.

This allows you to simplify deployments, share styles, enable server-side rendering and even implement a micro front end approach while using tools you are already familiar with.
