@ktrain5369/vite-plugin-node-env

Vite plugin to run web standard (fetch) servers in a Node worker thread environment.

Usage

Install both this plugin and srvx, as srvx is a required peer dependency.

import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import { node } from "vite-plugin-node-env";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    node({
      entry: "src/server.ts",
    }),
  ],
});

where src/server.ts follows the fetch handler pattern:

export default {
  fetch(req: Request) {
    return new Response();
  },
};

Note that by default this configures the server environment in Vite, not ssr. This is because usually, most standalone Node.js backend servers aren't written with SSR in mind, so to prevent conflicts with other possible plugins, the default configured environment is changed. You can configure it to target ssr (or any ohter environment) with node({ environment: 'ssr' })
