            "entry": "./src/lib.ts",
            "name": "MyLib",

        }
    }
}

    "resolve": {
        "alias": [                    # Path aliases
            {"find": "@", "replacement": "./src"},
            {"find": "~", "replacement": "./"}
        ],

                "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";'
            ]
        )
    ]
)

Custom Functions

Add custom JavaScript functions to your Vite config:

func = """
function foo() {
    return 'bar';
}
"""
config = rx.Config(
    plugins=[
        ViteConfigPlugin(
            config,
            functions=[RawJS(func)]
        )
    ]
)

Prereuisites

This repository builds with pantsbuild which requires Linux or Mac. If you're on a Windows, you can use WSL. Install pants using the provided instructions for your OS.

Development Setup

1. Fork the repository and clone.
2. Install dependencies: pants lock
3. Optionally export a venv: pants venv. Creates dist/export/python/virtualenvs/python-default/3.X.Y.
4. If you run pants venv you can update your IDE interpreter using the available venv.

Now you can make code changes as necessary.

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.
