Make sure Composer is installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.

Applications that use Symfony Flex

This package does not support Symfony Flex yet.

Applications that don't use Symfony Flex

Step 1: Download the Bundle

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:

composer require viaevista/vite-bundle

Step 2: Enable the Bundle

Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the config/bundles.php file of your project:

// config/bundles.php

return [
    // ...
    Viaevista\ViteBundle\ViaevistaViteBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Step 3: Configure the Bundle

Create a viaevista_vite.yaml file in your config/packages directory and configure the bundle to match your Vite.js setup.

viaevista_vite:
    server:
        # Enable or disable the server mode
        use_server_mode: '%env(bool:ENABLE_VITE_SERVER)%'
        # The host of your Vite.js when development server is running
        host: 'http://localhost:5173'
    
    # The base path configured in your Vite.js config
    base_path: '/build/'

Step 4: Define your environment variables

In your .env file, define the VITE_SERVER_MODE variable to enable or disable the server mode.

Set 1 when your using the vite.js development server, and 0 when you have built your assets.

ENABLE_VITE_SERVER=0

Step 5 : Configure your Vite.js

In the root of your Symfony project, add a vite.config.js with this minimal configuration for any Vite.js project.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'

const sourcesFolder = './assets';
const basePath = 'build';
const input = {
    'app.js': `${sourcesFolder}/app.js`,
};

export default defineConfig({
    root: sourcesFolder,
    base: `/${basePath}/`,
    envDir: '../',
    build: {
        manifest: true,
        outDir: `../public/${basePath}`,
        rollupOptions: {
            input,
        },
    },
});

Change sourcesFolder, basePath and input to match your project.

• sourcesFolder is where your Js and CSS to be compiled are located. This is usually the assets folder in Symfony projects.
• basePath is the folder where Vite.js will output the compiled assets. This should match the base_path configuration in the viaevista_vite.yaml file.
• Add in input the entry points of your application,
  • Key are the input name (the name which will be used in the vite tag in your Twig views) and the value is the path to the file.

When building your assets, compiled files should be under the Symfony public folder to be served by the web server.
