vendure build

Compiles a Vendure project for production: the server and worker are compiled with TypeScript, the dashboard with Vite.

Usage

bash

vendure build [target]

target (optional, default all): all | server | worker | dashboard.

Options

Option	Description
`--tsconfig <path>`	Server TypeScript config (also used by the worker unless overridden)
`--worker-tsconfig <path>`	Separate TypeScript config for the worker
`--vite-config <path>`	Vite config used by the dashboard build
`--experimental-tsgo`	Use the experimental native TypeScript compiler for server/worker
`--clean`	Delete build output directories before building
`--watch`	Rebuild on source changes (long-running)
`--no-progress`	Disable spinner/progress rendering — use for stable CI logs
`--verbose`	Show full output from the underlying build tools

Notes

For CI or scripted builds, prefer --no-progress so logs stay parseable, and --verbose when you need to diagnose a failure.
vendure build all protects overlapping outputs by running the Vite dashboard build before TypeScript emits server/worker files. If you manually orchestrate Vite and tsc, do not run them in parallel when Vite build.outDir overlaps a TypeScript outDir; Vite empties its output directory at build start.
--watch is long-running — do not use it for a one-off build.
Watch builds must keep processes running in parallel. The CLI disables Vite's output-directory emptying for build all --watch; custom watch scripts should use disjoint output directories or pass Vite --no-emptyOutDir.

Examples

bash

vendure build                       # build everything
vendure build server --clean        # clean rebuild of just the server
vendure build --no-progress --verbose
