Introducing experimental support for Vite

[gfscott]

Hydrogen v2024.1.3 introduces experimental support for Vite. In addition to its extremely fast hot module reloading, we're looking forward to enabling Hydrogen access to Vite's powerful plugin ecosystem.

After upgrading, you can try Vite in Hydrogen today by running this command in your Hydrogen project:

$ npx shopify hydrogen setup vite

This command will install the new dependencies, as well as adding, editing, and renaming several config files. Because this configuration relies on Vite APIs that are still experimental, we’re releasing this as an unstable feature for now — don't use it to build your production apps yet. If you run into any issues while trying it out, please file a bug report!

Check out our blog post with the complete details about Hydrogen's March 2024 release.
