WordPress Vite Plugin

WordPress Vite Plugin (v1.6.0) is a Vite plugin that integrates Vite into WordPress theme/plugin development, providing hot module replacement, asset bundling, and automatic enqueuing. It supports Vite 3-8, requires Node >=16, ships TypeScript types, and offers a streamlined setup with minimal configuration compared to manual webpack or custom build setups. Release cadence is irregular; key differentiators include native HMR in WordPress admin, automatic asset manifest parsing, and compatibility with both Classic and Block themes. v1.6 introduces support for Vite 6 and 7/8 prereleases.
