vite-plugin-externalize-deps

A Vite plugin that automatically externalizes dependencies from your bundle during build, including subpath patterns. Current stable version is 0.10.0, released 2024-12-15. Supports Vite 2 through 7. Key differentiators: handles subpath exports, provides fine-grained control over which dependencies are externalized (deps, devDeps, peerDeps, optionalDeps, nodeBuiltins), and allows both inclusion and exception patterns via strings or regexes.
