vite-plugin-hide-url-port

A Vite plugin to customize or hide port numbers printed in dev server URLs.
Make Vite's console output match the actual port you access in Docker / DevContainer / Cloud IDE environments, improving clarity and experience.

✨ Why this plugin?

When working inside Docker, DevContainer, or Cloud IDEs, the port Vite shows in console logs (e.g., 5173) often doesn't match the port you're actually using (e.g., 443). This can confuse developers and testers.

👉 This plugin allows you to:

• Remove the port: e.g., https://localhost/
• Override the port: e.g., https://localhost:443/
• Non-intrusive: It only changes the console output, not the actual server port.

🚀 Installation

pnpm add -D vite-plugin-hide-url-port
# or
npm install -D vite-plugin-hide-url-port
# or
yarn add -D vite-plugin-hide-url-port

🛠 Usage

In your vite.config.ts:

import { hideUrlPort } from 'vite-plugin-hide-url-port'

export default {
  plugins: [
    hideUrlPort({
      // Show port 443 in printed URLs. Leave empty to remove port display.
      port: 443,
    }),
  ],
}

⚙ Configuration

| Name | Type | Default | Description | | :----------- | :--------------- | :-------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | overridePort | number | string | undefined | The port to display in URLs. If not set, the port will be removed from display. |

Example:

// Show as https://localhost:8080/
hideUrlPort({ overridePort: 8080 })

// Show as https://localhost/ (port removed)
hideUrlPort()

📌 Notes

• Only affects console URL output. Does not change the actual dev server port.
• Ensure your Docker / DevContainer port mappings match the displayed port.
• Only active in Vite dev server (does not affect production builds).
