Favicons Vite Plugin
Leverages on favicons to automatically generate your favicons for you. And if you want to also consolidate your PWA manifest, will generate that as well with linked icons.
Partially adapted from and config compatible with favicons-webpack-plugin
Installation
Install the plugin with npm:
$ npm install --save-dev vite-plugin-favicon
# Or shorthand
npm i -D vite-plugin-faviconZero Config Usage
Add your base logo as logo.png file to your assets folder.
Add the plugin to your vite config as follows:
const ViteFaviconsPlugin = require('vite-plugin-favicon')
// or ESM
import { ViteFaviconsPlugin } from "module";
plugins: [
ViteFaviconsPlugin()
]Basic Usage
Add the plugin to your vite config as follows:
const ViteFaviconsPlugin = require('vite-plugin-favicon')
// or ESM
import { ViteFaviconsPlugin } from "module";
...
plugins: [
ViteFaviconsPlugin('/path/to/logo.png') // svg works too!
]The default configuration will automatically generate webapp manifest files along with
44 different icon formats
as appropriate for iOS devices, Android devices, Windows Phone and various desktop browsers out of your single logo.png.
Tip: You might want to fine tune what vendors to support.
A Note on Path Resolution
Under the hood, Vite/Rollup resolve the paths to the logo and favicons according to the following rules:
-
If
/path/to/logois absolute, there is nothing to resolve and the path specified is used as is. -
If
./path/to/logois relative, it's resolved with respect toprocess.cwd().
HTML Injection
In combination with Vite's html plugin hooks it will also inject the necessary html for you:

]To fine tune what icons/metadata is generated, refer to favicons' documentation.
The options specified under favicons: are handed over as is to favicons,
except that if appName, appDescription, version, developerName or
developerURL are left undefined, they will be automatically inferred
respectively from name, description, version, author.name and
author.url as defined in the nearest package.json if available.
And if there's no author it will use the first in the contributors.
To disable automatically retrieving metadata from package.json, simply set
to null the properties you want to omit.
Examples

favicons: {
appName: 'my-app',
appDescription: 'My awesome App',

}
}
})

Handling Multiple HTML Files
Vite calls the HTML transform hook for each HTML file template file you have configured in Vite, so this works automatically.
