Is vite required? #1

Angular already has its own way for building. Is it not better to not change it?

It will also reduce complexity with less tools added to the stack

Hilla is a full-stack framework and uses Maven and Vite to manage backend and frontend respectively. Furthermore, Vite is transparently handled by Maven. As you pointed out, Angular has its own tools, so mixing both of them requires giving priorities to one toolchain or the other.

This prototype tries to integrate Angular in the existing Hilla toolchain, but the other way around is also worth exploring. I think that it would require more work, as we should make all the Hilla client part optional, and we would loose the ability to launch everything with a single command. But that would make sure Angular works at its best.
