vite-plugin-components

On demand components auto importing for Vite

Usage

ℹ️ Vite 2 is supported from v0.6.x, Vite 1's support is discontinued.

Install

npm i vite-plugin-components -D # yarn add vite-plugin-components -D

Add it to vite.config.js

// vite.config.js
import Vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
import ViteComponents from 'vite-plugin-components'

export default {
  plugins: [
    Vue(),
    ViteComponents()
  ],
};

That's all.

Use components in templates as you would usually do but NO import and component registration required anymore! It will import components on demand, code splitting is also possible.

Basically, it will automatically turn this

<template>
  <div>
    <HelloWorld msg="Hello Vue 3.0 + Vite" />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  name: 'App'
}
</script>

into this

<template>
  <div>
    <HelloWorld msg="Hello Vue 3.0 + Vite" />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import HelloWorld from './src/components/HelloWorld.vue'

export default {
  name: 'App',
  components: {
    HelloWorld
  }
}
</script>

Configuration

The following show the default values of the configuration

ViteComponents({
  // relative paths to the directory to search for components.
  dirs: ['src/components'],

  // valid file extensions for components.
  extensions: ['vue'],
  // search for subdirectories
  deep: true,

  // Allow subdirectories as namespace prefix for components.
  directoryAsNamespace: false,
  // Subdirectory paths for ignoring namespace prefixes
  // works when `directoryAsNamespace: true`
  globalNamespaces: [],
})

Example

See the Vitesse starter template.
