What this skill does


# Laravel Vite

## Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, use `TeamCreate` to spawn 3 agents:

1. **fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase** - Check existing vite.config.js, package.json
2. **fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert** - Verify latest Vite docs via Context7
3. **mcp__context7__query-docs** - Query specific patterns (SSR, Inertia)

After implementation, run **fuse-ai-pilot:sniper** for validation.

## Overview

Vite is Laravel's default frontend build tool. It provides fast HMR in development and optimized builds for production.

| Feature | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| **HMR** | Instant updates during development |
| **Bundling** | Optimized production assets |
| **SSR** | Server-side rendering support |
| **Frameworks** | Vue, React, Svelte integration |

---

## Critical Rules

1. **Always use laravel-vite-plugin** - Never raw Vite config
2. **VITE_ prefix for env vars** - Only exposed to frontend
3. **Use @vite directive** - Not manual script tags
4. **Build before deploy** - `npm run build` in CI/CD
5. **Configure HMR for Docker** - Set `server.host: '0.0.0.0'`

## Decision Guide

### Stack Selection

```
Using Tailwind CSS?
├── YES → v4? @tailwindcss/vite plugin
│         v3? PostCSS config
└── NO → Just laravel-vite-plugin

Using JavaScript framework?
├── Vue → @vitejs/plugin-vue
├── React → @vitejs/plugin-react
├── Svelte → @sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte
└── None → Plain JS/CSS only
```

### SSR Decision

```
Need SEO/fast first paint?
├── YES → Using Inertia?
│   ├── YES → Inertia SSR
│   └── NO → Consider Inertia or Livewire
└── NO → Client-side only
```

## Quick Reference

### Basic Setup

```javascript
// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import laravel from 'laravel-vite-plugin';

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        laravel({
            input: ['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'],
            refresh: true,
        }),
    ],
});
```

### Blade Directive

```blade
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
    @vite(['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'])
</head>
```

### Commands

| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `npm run dev` | Start dev server |
| `npm run build` | Production build |
| `npm run preview` | Preview build |

---

## Best Practices

### DO
- Use `refresh: true` for Blade HMR
- Configure aliases for clean imports
- Split vendors into separate chunks
- Use `VITE_` prefix for frontend env vars
- Test Docker/Sail config locally

### DON'T
- Expose sensitive data via VITE_ vars
- Forget to build before deploying
- Use absolute paths for assets
- Skip source maps in staging
- Ignore chunk size warnings

---

## Laravel 13 Notes

`laravel/vite-plugin` reste compatible **Laravel 13 + Vite 6**. Adaptations :

- Le helper `@vite()` Blade fonctionne sans changement
- Pour Inertia 2 + React 19 : utiliser le preset `@vitejs/plugin-react` v4+
- HMR via WebSocket : Reverb 1.4 et Vite peuvent cohabiter sur des ports distincts en dev
- Build production : ajouter `build.target: 'es2023'` pour profiter de PHP 8.3 côté serveur
