Hi everyone,
I’ve recently released Vite for October CMS and I’d love to get some feedback from the community.
The idea came from building plugins myself. October has a great modular plugin ecosystem, but I felt a proper asset layer was missing that gives themes and plugins the same independence on the frontend.
So I built this around October’s existing asset pipeline rather than replacing it.
The goal is zero-config by convention: entrypoints are auto-discovered, themes and plugins can have their own independent Vite builds/dev servers, and development vs production assets are resolved automatically. You can still simply use October’s addJs() / addCss() APIs.
Basically: install it, create your entrypoints and start working.
The plugin is free and open source and will stay that way. I’d like it to be something useful for the October ecosystem, so I’m very interested in your experience with it.
If you try it, I’d love to hear what feels good, what doesn’t, and what you think could be improved.
