Pre-release

This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

Litestar Vite

Litestar Vite connects the Litestar backend to a Vite toolchain. It supports SPA, Template, and Inertia flows, and can proxy Vite dev traffic through your ASGI port or run Vite directly.

Features

  • One-port dev: proxies Vite HTTP + WS/HMR through Litestar by default; switch to two-port with VITE_PROXY_MODE=direct.
  • Production assets: reads Vite manifest from public/manifest.json (configurable) and serves under asset_url.
  • Type-safe frontends: optional OpenAPI/routes export + @hey-api/openapi-ts via the Vite plugin.
  • Inertia support: v2 protocol with session middleware and optional SPA mode.

Quick start (SPA)

pip install litestar-vite
litestar assets install  # installs frontend deps via configured executor

from litestar import Litestar
from litestar_vite import VitePlugin, ViteConfig

app = Litestar(plugins=[VitePlugin(config=ViteConfig(dev_mode=True))])

litestar run  # starts Litestar; Vite dev is proxied automatically

Template / HTMX

from litestar import Litestar
from litestar.contrib.jinja import JinjaTemplateEngine
from litestar.template.config import TemplateConfig
from litestar_vite import VitePlugin, ViteConfig

app = Litestar(
    template_config=TemplateConfig(engine=JinjaTemplateEngine(directory="templates")),
    plugins=[VitePlugin(config=ViteConfig(mode="template", dev_mode=True))],
)

Inertia (v2)

Requires session middleware.

from litestar import Litestar
from litestar.middleware.session.server_side import ServerSideSessionConfig, ServerSideSessionMiddleware
from litestar_vite import VitePlugin, ViteConfig
from litestar_vite.inertia import InertiaPlugin
from litestar_vite.inertia.config import InertiaConfig

app = Litestar(
    middleware=[ServerSideSessionMiddleware(config=ServerSideSessionConfig(secret="secret"))],
    plugins=[
        VitePlugin(config=ViteConfig(mode="template", inertia=True, dev_mode=True)),
        InertiaPlugin(InertiaConfig()),
    ],
)

Type generation

VitePlugin(config=ViteConfig(types=True))  # enable exports

litestar assets generate-types  # one-off or CI

CLI cheat sheet

  • litestar assets doctor — diagnose/fix config
  • litestar assets init --template react|vue|svelte|... — scaffold frontend
  • litestar assets build / serve — build or watch
  • litestar assets deploy --storage gcs://bucket/assets — upload via fsspec
  • litestar assets generate-types — OpenAPI + routes → TS types
  • litestar assets install — install frontend deps with the configured executor

Doctor command highlights

  • Prints Python vs Vite config snapshot (asset URLs, bundle/hot paths, ports, modes).
  • Flags missing hot file (dev proxy), missing manifest (prod), type-gen exports, env/config mismatches, and plugin install issues.
  • --fix can rewrite simple vite.config values (assetUrl, bundleDirectory, hotFile, type paths) after creating a backup.
