Vite Plugin React Shopify

A Vite plugin that enables developers to build Shopify themes using React components. It compiles React sections, blocks, snippets, and templates into Shopify Liquid files at build time via SSG (Static Site Generation). The runtime handles hydration, providing a full React development experience while maintaining Shopify compatibility. Current version 2.2.9 requires Vite ^8.0.0. Three key differentiators: (1) AI-friendly — developers can leverage React/TypeScript which LLMs understand better than Liquid; (2) testability — React components can be unit-tested with Jest/Vitest; (3) modern tooling — TypeScript, tree-shaking, and component-based architecture. Actively maintained on GitHub with weekly release cadence.
