npm install vitext

Vitext (Vite + Next) is a lightning fast SSG/SSR tool that lets you develop better and quicker front-end apps. It consists of these major parts:

💡 Instant Server Start

The development server uses native ES modules, So you're going to have your React app server-rendered and client rendered very fast, under a half a second for me.

💥 Suspense support

Vitext supports React Suspense & Lazy out of the box.

import { lazy, Suspense } from 'react';

const Component = lazy(() => import('../components/Component'));
const Loading = () => <p>Loading the Component</p>;

const App = () => {
  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<Loading />}>
	  <Component />
    </Suspense>
  );
};

⚫ Next.js like API

If you're coming from a Next.js background, everything will work the same way for you. Vitext has a similar API design to Next.js.

// pages/Page/[id].jsx
const Page = ({ id }) => {
  return <div>{id}</div>;
};

// build time + request time (SSG/SSR/ISR)
export function getProps({ req, res, query, params }) {
  // props for `Page` component
  return { props: { id: params.id } };
}

// build time (SSG)
export async function getPaths() {
  // an array of { params: ... }, which every `params` goes to `getProps`  
  return {
    paths: [{ id: 1 }],
  };
}

export default IndexPage;

getPaths & getProps are optional. If getPaths' running got done, then every paths item is going to be passed to a getProps function, And when the user requests for the specific page, they're going to receive the exported html (SSG). But if getPaths wasn't done or there's no exported html page for the user's request, then the getProps is going to get called with the request url's params (SSR).

📦 Optimized Build

Vitext uses Vite's building and bundling approach, So it bundles your code in a fast and optimized way.

💎 Build & Export on fly

You don't need to wait for HTML exports of your app because Vitext exports pages to HTML simultaneously while serving your app, So no next export.

🚀 Lightning SSR/SSG

ES modules, Fast compiles and Web workers empower the Vitext SSR/SSG strategy, so you'll have an astonishingly fast SSR/SSG.

⚡ Fast HMR

Vitext uses @vitejs/plugin-react-refresh under the hood, So you have a fast HMR right here.

🔑 Vite & Rollup Compatible

We can call Vitext a superset of Vite; It means that Vitext supports everything Vite supports with vitext.config.js.

// exact Vite's config API 
export default {
  plugins: [...],
  optimizeDeps: {...},
  ...
};
