:information_source: Previously, Laravel configured several npm scripts for building assets. For Vite, Laravel configures a dev script for generating and watching your assets (for development) and build script for generating your assets (for production).

Shift attempted to replace commands using these scripts with their new Vite script. However, you may still be referencing these scripts in your code or in deployment scripts.

:informationsource: Laravel renamed the environment variables used by Mix to use a `VITEprefix, instead ofMIX_`. While Shift automated this change throughout your code, you should check for any additional references which may not be included in your Git repository.

:information_source: Vite requires JavaScript files containing JSX to have a .jsx file extension. Shift did not detect any JSX in files with a .js extension under the resources folder. However, if you are using JSX, be sure the files have a .jsx extension.

:information_source: The new @vite Blade directive outputs <script> tags with the type="module" attribute. This attribute implicitly defers the script. This is a difference from Laravel Mix which may change the execution order of the JavaScript on your page.

If you experience JavaScript errors relating to undefined references, you may need to reorder your scripts or add the defer attribute to any inline <script> blocks on your page.

PR Summary

• Upgraded Laravel Vite Plugin The "laravel-vite-plugin" used in our project has been updated from version 0.2.1 to the latest 0.6.0. This enhances our project with the latest features and improvements made in the plugin.

• Upgraded Vite Package The "vite" package has also been upgraded from version 2.9.11 to 3.0.2. Vite is an important tool for modern web development that provides faster and leaner development experience.

• Updated Vite Configuration The vite.config.js file has been adapted to the latest upgrades. In this file, we tell Vite how to behave when serving and building our project. This was required to make sure the upgraded packages are implemented correctly.

• Elimination of Webpack Mix Configuration The webpack.mix.js file has been eliminated. This means we've shifted away from using Webpack as our module bundler in favor of Vite. By doing so, we're looking to benefit from Vite's faster and more efficient bundling capabilities.
