Vite base config with vite 2.8

// vite.config.js
import {defineConfig} from "vite";
import symfonyPlugin from "vite-plugin-symfony";
/* if you're using React */
// import reactRefresh from "@vitejs/plugin-react-refresh";

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        /* reactRefresh(), // if you're using React */
        symfonyPlugin(),
    ],

    root: ".",

    /* your outDir web path prefix */
    base: "/build/",
    build: {
        manifest: true,
        emptyOutDir: true,
        assetsDir: "",
        outDir: "./public/build",
        rollupOptions: {
            input: {
              app: "./assets/app.js" /* relative to the root option */
            },
        },
    }
});

and your package.json :

{
    "scripts": {
        "dev": "vite",
        "build": "vite build"
    },
    "devDependencies": {
        "vite": "~2.8",
        "vite-plugin-symfony": "^0.3.0"
    }
}

Vitejs previous versions

There is small differences in the configuration of the input paths with vitejs 2.6 and vitejs 2.7.

// vite 2.7
// vite.config.js
import {defineConfig} from "vite";
import symfonyPlugin from "vite-plugin-symfony";
/* if you're using React */
// import reactRefresh from "@vitejs/plugin-react-refresh";

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        /* reactRefresh(), // if you're using React */
        symfonyPlugin(),
    ],

    root: "./assets/",

    /* your outDir web path prefix */
    base: "/build/",
    build: {
        manifest: true,
        emptyOutDir: true,
        assetsDir: "",
        outDir: "../public/build/",
        rollupOptions: {
            input: {
              app: "./app.ts" /* relative to the root option */
            },
        },
    }
});

// Vite 2.6
// vite.config.js
import {defineConfig} from "vite";
import symfonyPlugin from "vite-plugin-symfony";
/* if you're using React */
// import reactRefresh from "@vitejs/plugin-react-refresh";

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        /* reactRefresh(), // if you're using React */
        symfonyPlugin(),
    ],

    root: "./assets/",

    /* your outDir web path prefix */
    base: "/build/",
    build: {
        manifest: true,
        emptyOutDir: true,
        assetsDir: "",
        outDir: "../public/build/",
        rollupOptions: {
            input: {
              app: "./assets/app.ts" /* relative to the root option */
            },
        },
    }
});

With pentatrion/vite-bundle

Although it has no special dependencies, this package is intended for use with the Symfony Bundle : pentatrion/vite-bundle. This bundle provides two twig functions to load your js/css files into your templates. It also acts as a proxy by forwarding requests that are not intended for it to the Vite dev server.
