Vite is the new front-end tooling for Laravel. https://vitejs.dev/ is the Next Generation Frontend Tooling, which is Laravel's default from now on.
Make sure to have the latest version of Laravel, which today is 9.19, to use the new Vite tooling.
import laravel from 'laravel-vite-plugin' import {defineConfig} from 'vite' export default defineConfig({ plugins: [ laravel([ 'resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js', ]), ], }); This is where we use the vite and laravel-vite-plugin packages, and we also define our asset paths.
To run Vite, you use the npm script npm run dev, which we have defined, which is just an alias for npm run vite.
