VTX Workspace manager for vite

Vtx is an wrapper on vite cli tool to manage multi apps, libs and custom packages on monorepo style focus only with typescript support.

Dependencies

yarn global add @websublime/vtx-cli

After this you will have binary vtx available as your cli tool.

  create-app
  create-lib

For more info, run any command with the `--help` flag:

  $ vtx create-lib --help

Options:
  --host [host]           [string] specify hostname

Workspace

Start to create a workspace for your apps. Just run:

vtx create-workspace

And answer to the questions from the cli to config your workspace. Vite config produced will have a config to resolve every entry from your workspace and also will automatic resolve alias for your apps and libs that are created with this tool.

Vue App

After creating your workspace you are ready to add as many apps as you want. Inside your workspace directory run:

vtx create-app

And answer the questions to perform your app config. Then perform install.

yarn

Lib

Inside your workspace directory run:

vtx create-lib

Run

By default your first app will be the default app to serve. If you want to run a different app just define the name the app you want to run.

vtx dev --app my-app

Or you can adjust your package.json script to run different apps like:

"scripts": {
  "dev": "vtx dev --config ./vite.config.js --debug",
  "dev:ready": "vtx dev --config ./vite.config.js --debug --app ready",
  "build": "vtx build",
  "preview": "vtx preview"
}

Vtx supports all options from vite-cli plus --app and --lib.

Build

To build just run:

vtx build --app todo

For type application will produce dist normally. The particular case goes for lib as:

vtx build --lib services

When your lib as created, is package.json as config entry for rollupOptions where you can pass vite rollupOtions as vite documentation describe. The lib will be created with the name that to you gave it and get necessary options from workspace package.json.

It is mandatory to indicate which type and name you are building.

Config

Vtx saves the configuration on root of your workspace in package.json. You can review it there.

"config": {
  "packages": {
    "todo": {
      "name": "todo",
      "namespace": "@workspace/todo",
      "dir": "/workspace/vtx/temp/my-awesome/apps/todo",
      "type": "application"
    },
    "services": {
      "name": "services",
      "namespace": "@lib/services",
      "dir": "/workspace/vtx/temp/my-awesome/libs/services",
      "type": "lib"
    }
  },
  "default": "todo",
  "namespace": "@workspace",
  "root": "/workspace/vtx/temp/my-awesome"
}

You can then manually perform config on your app to resolve and include a lib. On package.json of your app you can add the lib as dependency:

"dependencies": {
  "@lib/services": "^1.0.0"
}

And on the tsconfig you can resolve typings and imports:

"paths": {
  "@workspace/todo/*": [
    "./src/*"
  ],
  "@lib/services": [
    "../../libs/services/src/index.ts"
  ]
}

yarn workspace will resolve your dependency and perform the necessary link to it.
