Fast web dev server

CLI

devito is a fast web dev server, inspired by vite.

It also uses esbuild.

devito my-file.tsx

The above will serve my-file.tsx and will refresh on every change.

Open in editor

Allows opening file[:line[:col]] links from the DevTools console output, right into your editor. Use --editor=<editor> to set your own (defaults to code).

Get the Chrome DevTools extension.

See the supported editors.

import.meta.url

import.meta.url is transformed to <location.origin>/@fs/<path>.

The relative base path /@fs/ is computed with --homedir=<path>. It defaults to os.homedir().

Workers/Worklets/iframe

// Worker
new Worker(new URL('./my-worker.js', import.meta.url).href, { type: 'module' })

// AudioWorklet
audioContext.audioWorklet.addModule(
  new URL('./my-audio-worklet.js', import.meta.url).href
)

// iframe
const src = new URL('sandbox-iframe.js', import.meta.url).href
iframe.srcdoc = `<script src="${src}" type="module"></script>`

CSS

import 'some.css'

Statically bundled modules will bundle all css to bundle.css.

Dynamically discovered modules (such when using import()) will create a <style> element and it'll be appended in <head>.

JSON

import json from 'some.json'

JSX

// @jsxImportSource jsx-lib

tsconfig.json:

"compilerOptions": {
  ...
  "jsx": "react-jsx",
  ...
}

Caching ~ Certificate

To enable browser caching in order to get all the speed benefits, you'll need to create a certificate.

devito will try to find a cert+key for devito.test under process.env.SSL_CERTS_DEVITO, ~/.ssl-certs/ or using --cert=xxx (minus the -key.pem and .pem suffixes).

Make certificate:

mkcert -install
mkcert devito.test
cp devito.test* ~/.ssl-certs/

Then add an entry 127.0.0.1 devito.test in /etc/hosts.

Chrome/Firefox should now cache assets properly for that location.
