const Dotenv = require("dotenv");
import path from "path";
Dotenv.config({ path: path.join(__dirname, ".env") });

const STATIC_URL = process.env.STATIC_URL;
// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
  base: `${STATIC_URL}`,
  clearScreen: false,
  plugins: [
    reactRefresh(),

  ],
  build: {
    target: "esnext",
    outDir: "./static/",
