A Vite plugin that detects when a process is already using the configured dev server port and optionally kills it. Version 1.1.0, works with Vite >=5.0.0. Key differentiator: integrates with Vite's `strictPort` to either throw a helpful error (default) or automatically terminate the blocking process (`autoKill: true`). Compatible with both ESM and CommonJS setups. Maintained by Wes Bos.
