Features

• Hot Module Replacement (HMR): Automatically updates the dev server when changes are made in PHP files, enhancing the development experience by providing instant feedback.
• JavaScript Encapsulation: JS bundles are encapsulated to prevent conflicts with global variables from other plugins and themes after minification, promoting better code management.
• Esbuild Integration: Configured to handle ReactJS code within .js files instead of .jsx and helps speed up the build process with smart minification options.
• Automatic Entry Inclusion: Uses fast-glob to automatically include JavaScript and CSS entries from the first-level folders in the src directory, streamlining asset management.
• Image Optimization: The built-in Vite Plugin Image Optimizer enhances image and SVG file performance by optimizing them for faster load times.
• PostCSS Configuration: Includes TailwindCSS and Autoprefixer, which ensure that CSS is clean, optimized, and maintains style consistency across different browsers.
• Composer Support: Integrates with Composer to facilitate the management of asset URLs allowing for simple registration and enqueuing through the provided package.
• Customizable TailwindCSS: Tailwind is configured to generate only the styles needed for the project, avoiding bloated CSS files and potential naming conflicts with a customizable prefix.
