1 year ago Hey @alfaproject! Thanks for the request. Adding Vite support to angular is a bit outside the scope of what we would provide, but if someone else successfully manages it its something we may then integrate. Similar to the react story.
- Vite works with react
- We integrate with vite for react
That said, there are some cool projects on the horizon that have started to try to get this working, as noted in the medium link you included. One in particular is https://github.com/analogjs/analog. You may wish to give it a shot, as it should work in an Nx monorepo already.
That said, this is something that isn't a solved problem, and isn't something we are ready to add to Nx's first party plugins just yet.

Description
Vite has been in the spotlight for a while and I'm wondering if it's possible to use it for Angular so that a monorepo can fully switch from webpack if they choose to and get all the benefits of Vite.
Motivation
We are slowly moving away from webpack in our monorepo but since Angular requires it, it won't ever be really possible, I suppose. We are trying to move into the Vite ecosystem with Vitest as well, so it would be nice to have every project using the same tooling.
Suggested Implementation
I honestly don't know, and I'm not sure if it needs to be the Angular team that would need to add support for it, but I suspect they wouldn't so I'm wondering what are NX plans on it.
However, I've seen this recent article which leads me to believe that now with standalone components it might be easier to support: https://medium.com/@hiepxanh/angular-vite-example-is-crazy-fast-3ee4d730020c
