Modern Web App Development with Vite

Web development moves fast, and your build tools should keep up. Vite has redefined the developer experience by providing a lightning-fast environment that stays performant regardless of project size. This course provides a clear path for developers to modernize their workflow and move away from slow, legacy bundling processes. You will transition from traditional bundling methods to a modern, ESM-first workflow. Through detailed written explanations and code-based exercises, you will understand how to configure projects for speed, optimize assets for production, and leverage the full power of the Vite ecosystem for professional-grade applications. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts of JavaScript modules, tree-shaking, and how Vite handles module bundling under the hood. - Configure development environments that utilize native ESM for nearly instantaneous hot module replacement. - Integrate popular frameworks like React and Vue with optimized build settings and environment variable management. - Apply advanced optimization techniques including code splitting and asset compression for high-performance production builds. - Create custom Vite plugins to extend functionality and automate repetitive development tasks. - Implement modern unit testing within your build pipeline using the Vitest framework for application stability. The course begins with foundational definitions of bundling and the evolution of build tools before moving into practical configuration. You will progress through written modules that cover everything from basic project scaffolding to advanced plugin architecture and modern testing patterns. This course is designed for web developers and beginners who are familiar with basic JavaScript and want to adopt modern, professional build workflows. No prior experience with Vite or complex build systems is required. Start building faster and more efficient web applications today.
