The Inner Workings of Vite Build
summary
Vite claims a production build that is fast and predictable by wiring an opinionated Rollup setup to a chain of internal plugins, using esbuild for fast TS/JSX transpile and minifier, and emitting hashed assets with code splitting and a generated manifest.json. Expect automatic asset inlining below a size threshold, dynamic-import instrumentation that generates async JS and CSS chunks plus vendor chunk preloading, and a preview command that serves the actual optimized dist output.
