vite-dir

Vite Dir

A shortcut command that runs vite dev server with vite-plugin-list-directory-contents so you get a live reloaded directory of files.

But, Why?

I made this for my tutorials, where we create lots of little projects. Running this on a directory of projects will process any .html file as it's own project. This gives you a nice UI where you can click through your projects.

Live reloading, typescript loading, CSS Parsing, all the good stuff vite gives you.

Usage

As an npx command:

npx vite-dir

or a Global install:

npm i -g vite-dir
vite-dir

You can also specify a directory:

vite-dir app/

Configs

Just like vite, no config is needed, but if you have a local vite.config.js file, it will use that and add the directory plugin.

Flags

All flags get passed to vite's server config.

example:

vite-dir --port 6969 --host --https true

Flags that specify things outside the server don't work. Pass them in a custom config, or just setup a project with vite-plugin-list-directory-contents instead.
