VITE

Vite

Vite-specific guidance for nx import. For generic import issues (pnpm globs, root deps, project references, name collisions, ESLint, frontend tsconfig base settings, @nx/react typings, Jest preset, non-Nx source handling), see SKILL.md.

@nx/vite/plugin Typecheck Target

@nx/vite/plugin defaults typecheckTargetName to "vite:typecheck". If the workspace expects "typecheck", set it explicitly in nx.json. If @nx/js/typescript is also registered, rename one target to avoid conflicts (e.g. "tsc-typecheck" for the JS plugin).

Keep both plugins only if the workspace has non-Vite pure TS libraries — @nx/js/typescript handles those while @nx/vite/plugin handles Vite projects.

@nx/vite Plugin Install Failure

Plugin init loads vite.config.ts before deps are available. Fix: pnpm add -wD vite @vitejs/plugin-react (or @vitejs/plugin-vue) first, then pnpm exec nx add @nx/vite.

Vite resolve.alias and __dirname (Non-Nx Sources)

__dirname undefined (CJS-only): Replace with fileURLToPath(new URL('./src', import.meta.url)) from 'node:url'.

@/ path alias: Vite's resolve.alias works at runtime but TS needs matching "paths". Set "baseUrl": "." in project tsconfig.

PostCSS/Tailwind: Verify content globs resolve correctly after import.

Missing TypeScript types (Non-Nx Sources)

Non-Nx tsconfigs may not declare all needed types. Ensure Vite projects include "types": ["node", "vite/client"] in their tsconfig.

noEmit Fix: Vite-Specific Notes

See SKILL.md for the generic noEmit→composite fix. Vite-specific additions:

• Non-Nx Vite projects often have both tsconfig.app.json and tsconfig.node.json with noEmit — fix both
• Solution-style tsconfigs ("files": [], "references": [...]) may lack extends. Add extends pointing to the dest root tsconfig.base.json so base settings (moduleResolution, lib) apply.
• This is safe — Vite/Vitest ignore TypeScript emit settings.

Dependency Version Conflicts

Shared Vite deps (both frameworks): vite, vitest, jsdom, @types/node, typescript (dev)

Vite 6→7: Typecheck fails (Plugin<any> type mismatch); build/serve still works. Fix: align versions. Vitest 3→4: Usually works; type conflicts may surface in shared test utils.

React Router 7 (Vite-Based)

React Router 7 (@react-router/dev) uses Vite under the hood with a vite.config.ts and a react-router.config.ts. The @nx/vite/plugin detects vite.config.ts and creates inferred targets.

Targets

@nx/vite/plugin creates build, dev, serve targets. The build target invokes the script defined in package.json (usually react-router build), not vite build directly.

No separate typecheck target from @nx/vite/plugin — React Router 7 typegen is run as part of typecheck (e.g. react-router typegen && tsc). The typecheck target is inferred from the tsconfig. Keep the typecheck script in package.json if present; it is not rewritten.

tsconfig Notes

React Router 7 uses a single tsconfig.json (no tsconfig.app.json/tsconfig.node.json split). It includes:

• "rootDirs": [".", "./.react-router/types"] — for generated type files; keep as-is
• "paths": { "~/*": ["./app/*"] } — self-referential alias; keep as-is
• "noEmit": true — replace with composite settings per SKILL.md

Build Output

React Router 7 outputs to build/ (not dist/). Add build to the dest root .gitignore.

Generated Types Directory

React Router 7 generates .react-router/ at the project root for route type generation. Add .react-router to the dest root .gitignore.

TanStack Start (Vite-Based)

TanStack Start uses Vinxi under the hood, which wraps Vite. Projects have a standard vite.config.ts that @nx/vite/plugin detects normally.

Targets

@nx/vite/plugin creates build, dev, preview, serve-static, typecheck targets. The build target runs vite build which invokes the TanStack Start Vinxi pipeline (produces both client and SSR bundles).

tsconfig Notes

TanStack Start uses a single tsconfig.json with "allowImportingTsExtensions": true and "noEmit": true. Apply the standard noEmit → composite fix. allowImportingTsExtensions is compatible with emitDeclarationOnly: true — no change needed.

paths Aliases

TanStack Start commonly uses "#/*": ["./src/*"] and "@/*": ["./src/*"]. These are self-referential — keep as-is for a single-project app.

Uncommitted Source Repo

create-tan-stack initializes a git repo but does NOT make an initial commit. Before importing, commit first:

git -C /path/to/source add . && git -C /path/to/source commit -m "Initial commit"

Generated and Build Directories

TanStack Start / Vinxi / Nitro generate several directories that must be added to the dest root .gitignore:

• .vinxi — Vinxi build cache
• .tanstack — TanStack generated files
• .nitro — Nitro build artifacts
• .output — server-side build output (SSR/edge)

These are not covered by dist or build.

React-Specific

React Dependencies

Production: react, react-dom Dev: @types/react, @types/react-dom, @vitejs/plugin-react, @testing-library/react, @testing-library/jest-dom, jsdom ESLint (Nx sources): eslint-plugin-import, eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y, eslint-plugin-react, eslint-plugin-react-hooks ESLint (create-vite): eslint-plugin-react-refresh, eslint-plugin-react-hooks — self-contained flat configs can be left as-is Nx plugins: @nx/react (generators), @nx/vite, @nx/vitest, @nx/eslint

React TypeScript Configuration

Add "jsx": "react-jsx" — in tsconfig.base.json for single-framework workspaces, per-project for mixed (see Mixed section).

React ESLint Config

import nx from '@nx/eslint-plugin';
import baseConfig from '../../eslint.config.mjs';
export default [
  ...baseConfig,
  ...nx.configs['flat/react'],
  { files: ['**/*.ts', '**/*.tsx'], rules: {} },
];

React Version Conflicts

React 18 (source) + React 19 (dest): pnpm may hoist mismatched react-dom, causing TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'S'). Fix: Align versions with pnpm.overrides.

@testing-library/jest-dom with Vitest

If source used Jest: change import to @testing-library/jest-dom/vitest in test-setup.ts, add to tsconfig types.

Vue-Specific

Vue Dependencies

Production: vue (plus vue-router, pinia if used) Dev: @vitejs/plugin-vue, vue-tsc, @vue/test-utils, jsdom ESLint: eslint-plugin-vue, vue-eslint-parser, @vue/eslint-config-typescript, @vue/eslint-config-prettier Nx plugins: @nx/vue (generators), @nx/vite, @nx/vitest, @nx/eslint (install AFTER deps — see below)

Vue TypeScript Configuration

Add to tsconfig.base.json (single-framework) or per-project (mixed):

{ "jsx": "preserve", "jsxImportSource": "vue", "resolveJsonModule": true }

vue-shims.d.ts

Vue SFC files need a type declaration. Usually exists in each project's src/ and imports cleanly. If missing:

declare module '*.vue' {
  import { defineComponent } from 'vue';
  const component: ReturnType<typeof defineComponent>;
  export default component;
}

vue-tsc Auto-Detection

Both @nx/js/typescript and @nx/vite/plugin auto-detect vue-tsc when installed — no manual config needed. Remove source scripts like "typecheck": "vue-tsc --noEmit".

ESLint Plugin Installation Order (Critical)

@nx/eslint init crashes if Vue ESLint deps aren't installed first (it loads all config files).

Correct order:

1. pnpm add -wD eslint@^9 eslint-plugin-vue vue-eslint-parser @vue/eslint-config-typescript @typescript-eslint/parser @nx/eslint-plugin typescript-eslint
2. Create root eslint.config.mjs
3. Then npx nx add @nx/eslint

Vue ESLint Config Pattern

import vue from 'eslint-plugin-vue';
import vueParser from 'vue-eslint-parser';
import tsParser from '@typescript-eslint/parser';
import baseConfig from '../../eslint.config.mjs';
export default [
  ...baseConfig,
  ...vue.configs['flat/recommended'],
  {
    files: ['**/*.vue'],
    languageOptions: { parser: vueParser, parserOptions: { parser: tsParser } },
  },
  {
    files: ['**/*.ts', '**/*.tsx', '**/*.js', '**/*.jsx', '**/*.vue'],
    rules: { 'vue/multi-word-component-names': 'off' },
  },
];

Important: vue-eslint-parser override must come AFTER base config — flat/typescript sets the TS parser globally without a files filter, breaking .vue parsing.

vue-eslint-parser must be an explicit pnpm dependency (strict resolution prevents transitive import).

Known issue: Some generated Vue ESLint configs omit vue-eslint-parser. Use the pattern above instead.

Mixed React + Vue

When both frameworks coexist, several settings become per-project.

tsconfig jsx — Per-Project Only

• React: "jsx": "react-jsx" in project tsconfig
• Vue: "jsx": "preserve", "jsxImportSource": "vue" in project tsconfig
• Root: NO jsx setting

Typecheck — Auto-Detects Framework

@nx/vite/plugin uses vue-tsc for Vue projects and tsc for React automatically.

{
  "plugins": [
    { "plugin": "@nx/eslint/plugin", "options": { "targetName": "lint" } },
    {
      "plugin": "@nx/vite/plugin",
      "options": {
        "buildTargetName": "build",
        "typecheckTargetName": "typecheck",
        "testTargetName": "test"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Remove @nx/js/typescript if all projects use Vite. Keep it (renamed to "tsc-typecheck") only for non-Vite pure TS libs.

ESLint — Three-Tier Config

1. Root: Base rules only, no framework-specific rules
2. React projects: Extend root + nx.configs['flat/react']
3. Vue projects: Extend root + vue.configs['flat/recommended'] + vue-eslint-parser

Required packages: Shared (eslint@^9, @nx/eslint-plugin, typescript-eslint, @typescript-eslint/parser), React (eslint-plugin-import, eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y, eslint-plugin-react, eslint-plugin-react-hooks), Vue (eslint-plugin-vue, vue-eslint-parser)

@nx/react/@nx/vue are for generators only — no target conflicts.

Redundant npm Scripts After Import

nx import copies package.json verbatim, so npm scripts come along. For Vite-based projects @nx/vite/plugin already infers the same targets from vite.config.ts — the npm scripts just shadow the plugin with weaker nx:run-script wrappers (no first-class caching inputs/outputs). Remove them after import.

Standalone Vite App (create-vite)

Remove the following scripts — every one is redundant:

TanStack Start

Remove build, dev, preview, and test scripts, but move any hardcoded --port flag to vite.config.ts first:

// vite.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
  server: { port: 3000 },  // replaces `vite dev --port 3000`
  ...
})

React Router 7 — Keep ALL scripts

Do not remove React Router 7 scripts. They use the framework CLI (react-router build, react-router dev, react-router-serve) which is not interchangeable with plain vite:

• typecheck runs react-router typegen && tsc — typegen must precede tsc or it fails on missing route types
• start serves the SSR bundle — no plugin equivalent

Fix Orders

Nx Source

1. Generic fixes from SKILL.md (pnpm globs, root deps, executor paths, frontend tsconfig base settings, @nx/react typings)
2. Configure @nx/vite/plugin typecheck target
3. React: jsx: "react-jsx" (root or per-project)
4. Vue: jsx: "preserve" + jsxImportSource: "vue"; verify vue-shims.d.ts; install ESLint deps before @nx/eslint
5. Mixed: jsx per-project; remove/rename @nx/js/typescript
6. nx sync --yes && nx reset && nx run-many -t typecheck,build,test,lint

Non-Nx Source (additional steps)

0. Import into apps/<name> (see SKILL.md: "Application vs Library Detection")
1. Generic fixes from SKILL.md (stale files cleanup, pnpm globs, rewritten scripts, target name prefixing, noEmit→composite, ESLint handling)
2. Fix noEmit in all tsconfigs (app, node, etc. — non-Nx projects often have multiple)
3. Add extends to solution-style tsconfigs so root settings apply
4. Fix resolve.alias / __dirname / baseUrl
5. Ensure types include vite/client and node
6. Install @nx/vite manually if it failed during import
7. Remove redundant npm scripts so @nx/vite/plugin infers them natively (see "Redundant npm Scripts" section)
8. Vue: Add outDir + **/*.vue.d.ts to ESLint ignores
9. Full verification

Multiple-Source Imports

See SKILL.md for generic multi-import (name collisions, dep refs). Vite-specific: fix tsconfig references paths for alternate directories (../../libs/ → ../../libs-beta/).

Non-Nx Source: React Router 7

1. Ensure source has at least one commit (see SKILL.md: "Source Repo Has No Commits")
2. nx import whole-repo into apps/<name> (see SKILL.md: "Application vs Library Detection") → auto-installs @nx/vite, @nx/react
3. Stale file cleanup: node_modules/, package-lock.json, .gitignore
4. Fix tsconfig.json: noEmit → composite + emitDeclarationOnly + outDir + tsBuildInfoFile
5. Add build and .react-router to dest root .gitignore
6. Keep all npm scripts — React Router 7 uses framework CLI (react-router build/dev), not plain vite (see "Redundant npm Scripts" above)
7. npm install && nx reset && nx sync --yes

Non-Nx Source: TanStack Start

1. Ensure source has at least one commit — create-tan-stack does NOT auto-commit (see SKILL.md)
2. nx import whole-repo into apps/<name> (see SKILL.md: "Application vs Library Detection") → auto-installs @nx/vite, @nx/vitest
3. Stale file cleanup: node_modules/, package-lock.json, .gitignore
4. Fix tsconfig.json: noEmit → composite + emitDeclarationOnly + outDir + tsBuildInfoFile
5. Keep allowImportingTsExtensions — compatible with emitDeclarationOnly: true
6. Add .vinxi, .tanstack, .nitro, .output to dest root .gitignore
7. Move hardcoded --port from dev script into vite.config.ts (server: { port: N })
8. Remove redundant npm scripts — @nx/vite/plugin infers build, dev, preview, test (see "Redundant npm Scripts" above)
9. npm install && nx reset && nx sync --yes
