vite-plugin-mpa

Out-of-the-box multi-page-application (MPA) support for Vite - supports Vue2/3, React and others

Motivation

• Vite natively supports multi-page apps, but you must configure rollupOptions.input manually
• When running vite dev, you must open localhost:3000/src/pages/index/xxx.html for $projectRoot/src/pages/index/xxx.html
• Similar to vue-cli, this plugin helps rewrite urls for MPA and auto open the first page for you
• Experimental: when building, organize the folder for you (like vue-cli) - e.g dist/src/pages/subpage/index.html will move to dist/subpage/index.html

Usage

yarn add vite-plugin-mpa

// vite.config.ts
import mpa from 'vite-plugin-mpa'

// @see https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    // ...other plugins
    mpa(/* options */),
  ],
})

Options

{
  /**
   * open url path when server starts (customizable)
   * @default path of first-page
   */
  open: string
  /**
   * where to locate pages
   * @default 'src/pages', e.g. src/views
   */
  scanDir: string
  /**
   * how to locate page files (passed to fast-glob), e.g. index.{js,jsx}
   * @default 'main.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}'
   */
  scanFile: string
  /**
   * what is your html file name, e.g. index.html / main.html / entry.html / template.html
   * @default 'index.html'
   */
  filename: string
}

Examples

• see src/examples

• use shelljs after-build to organize dist folder (may be a better approach - help wanted)

How It Works

• Uses fast-glob to collect all pages, e.g. src/pages/*/main.{js,ts}, and calc MPA entries
• The result is passed into vite#rollupOptions#input
