tst-reflect [Question] Vite support

Hi everyone,

First of all, thanks for the effort of building this library!

I'm looking forward to use it on a Vue project and I was wondering if anyone have some experience using it with a project powered by Vite. I know Vite uses esbuild behind the scenes and given that is not compatible with TypeScript transformers I have to switch to Rollup but, I haven't achieved to make it work properly.

Have any of you a good example of how to use it with Vite?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, sorry idk how I missed this.

Neither Vite (esbuild) nor SWC are supported. I have a plan how to make it work, but it's a lot of work; alpha planned for 2024.

Rollup is TypeScript but it transpiles code in a different way so no full support is possible in current state and I didn't test it for a year so idk if it is still at least partly working. Last version of webpack and/or ts-loader seems to work similar to Rollup which means it is quite broken too. Things have been changing fast lately.

I work on new version (see https://github.com/Hookyns/tst-reflect/issues/78) , but because of all those changes I think I will switch to that whole new version which should get all the build and bundle tools working and it will be almost independent so it should be more durable.

I have officially started working on a new version which will make support of esbuild/Vite, SWC etc. possible. Each build system will require its own plugin but it'll be thin; all the hard work is gonna be done by main TS process.
