Vite Plugin Zephyr

Zephyr Cloud | Zephyr Docs | Discord | Twitter | LinkedIn

A Vite plugin for deploying applications with Zephyr Cloud. This plugin integrates with Vite's build process to enable seamless deployment of your applications with Module Federation support. Read more from our documentation here.

Get Started

The fastest way to get started is to use create-zephyr-apps to generate a new Vite application with Zephyr integration and there are various vite examples available:

npx create-zephyr-apps@latest

Installation

# npm
npm install --save-dev vite-plugin-zephyr

# yarn
yarn add --dev vite-plugin-zephyr

# pnpm
pnpm add --dev vite-plugin-zephyr

# bun
bun add --dev vite-plugin-zephyr

Usage

Basic Configuration

Add the plugin to your Vite configuration:

// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react';
import { withZephyr } from 'vite-plugin-zephyr';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react(), withZephyr()],
  build: {
    target: 'chrome89',
  },
});

With Module Federation

For microfrontend applications using Module Federation:

// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react';
import { withZephyr, type ModuleFederationOptions } from 'vite-plugin-zephyr';

const mfConfig = {
  name: 'my-app',
  remotes: {
    shared: 'shared@http://localhost:3001/remoteEntry.js',
  },
  shared: {
    react: { singleton: true },
    'react-dom': { singleton: true },
  },
};

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    react(),
    withZephyr({ mfConfig })
  ],
  build: {
    target: 'chrome89',
  },
});

TypeScript Configuration

// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react';
import { withZephyr, type ModuleFederationOptions } from 'vite-plugin-zephyr';

const mfConfig: ModuleFederationOptions = {
  name: 'host-app',
  remotes: {
    'remote-app': 'remoteApp@http://localhost:3001/remoteEntry.js',
  },
  shared: {
    react: { singleton: true },
    'react-dom': { singleton: true },
  },
};

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react(), withZephyr({ mfConfig })],
  build: {
    target: 'chrome89',
  },
});

Features

• 🚀 Seamless deployment during Vite build
• 🏗️ Module Federation support via @module-federation/vite
• 📦 Asset optimization and caching
• 🔧 Zero-config setup for simple applications
• 📊 Build analytics and monitoring
• 🌐 Global CDN distribution
• ⚡ Hot module replacement in development

Module Federation Support

This plugin uses the official vite plugin from Module Federation under the hood, providing:

• Host Applications: Consume remote modules from other applications
• Remote Applications: Expose modules for consumption by host applications
• Shared Dependencies: Efficient sharing of common libraries
• Dynamic Imports: Runtime loading of remote modules

Getting Started

1. Install the plugin in your Vite project
2. Add it to your Vite configuration
3. Configure Module Federation (if needed) for microfrontends
4. Build your application with vite build
5. Your app will be automatically deployed to Zephyr Cloud

Build Scripts

Add these scripts to your package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "vite",
    "build": "vite build",
    "preview": "vite preview"
  }
}

Requirements

• Vite 4.x or higher
• Node.js 18 or higher
• Zephyr Cloud account (sign up at zephyr-cloud.io)

Examples

Check out our examples directory for complete working examples:

• vite-react-ts - Basic React + TypeScript setup
• vite-react-mf - Module Federation setup with host and remote
