Intro to ViteJS

1

Sass

Under the hood, Vite uses esbuild. For CSS, it can handle PostCSS if you add a config for it, or css-modules if you add .module.css files, or sass. It will also make liberal use of the import.meta to add some sugar methods like glob imports or adding environment variables. You can switch the build to use terser and get a slightly smaller build, but it is a little slower. In my regular usage, I don't notice a huge difference, so I leave esbuild as default.

Dojo Toolkit

If the project was big enough, there were tools like jsmin. If the project warranted it, I would use Dojo Toolkit, which could probably make me a sandwich if I wanted it to.
