                "math": "parens-division"
            }
        }
    }
}

Using RawJS for JavaScript Code

For configuration values that need to be raw JavaScript, use the RawJS wrapper:

from vite_config_plugin import RawJS

vite_config = {
    "define": {
        "__VERSION__": RawJS("JSON.stringify(process.env.npm_package_version)"),
        "__DEV__": RawJS("process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'")
    },
    "plugins": [
        RawJS("react()"),
        RawJS("viteTsconfigPaths()")
    ],
    "build": {
        "rollupOptions": {
            "output": {
                "manualChunks": RawJS("""
                    (id) => {
                        if (id.includes('node_modules')) {
                            if (id.includes('react')) {
                                return 'react-vendor';
                            }
                            return 'vendor';
                        }
                    }
                """)
            }
        }
    }
}

Custom Imports

Add custom JavaScript imports to your Vite config:

config = rx.Config(
    plugins=[
        ViteConfigPlugin(
            config,
            imports=[
                'import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react";',
                'import { resolve } from "path";',
                'import { defineConfig, loadEnv } from "vite";'
            ]
        )
    ]
)

FAQ

Q: Can I use this plugin with existing Vite plugins?

A: Yes! You can include any Vite plugin using the RawJS wrapper in the plugins array.

Q: How do I handle environment-specific configurations?

A: Use Python's environment variables and conditionals to create different configs for development/production.

Q: Can I override the default Reflex Vite configuration?

A: That depends. The plugin uses deep dict merging, so MOST of your configuration will override defaults but lists of items are concantenated rather than overridden. That being said, it is not recommended to override Reflex's defaults as it can break Reflex/Vite in unexpected ways.
