wmr VS vite-plugin-svgr

wmr for near-instant builds & native TS support

Preferred tech stack is always something I choose for the job at hand. That might just be a few rollup plugins + a tool like WMR or Vite, but it can be also be quite complex and custom build system too. It depends.

While the development process is evolving for developers, there’s a need by many developers to have an all-in-one development tool that will make web application development faster and easier. WMR gives developers the added feature and advantage of building web applications based on the all-in-one development tool.

wmr does not have error overlay / SVGR support

It did not take a lot of time to choose the tool. Currently, there are 3 major bundlers powered by ESM - vite, snowpack, and wmr. From the first glance - all of them look promising and I did not care about their internals as long as I don't need to touch them.

WMR could be another option if you haven’t already seen it.

wmr is an all-in-one development tool for modern web apps. Since it leverages ESM modules, it only requires an HTML files with

Thanks! I'll watch this today on lunch break. :) To be frank, I'm not even a Vue user, but Vite looks truly awesome. I love that popular framework authors are taking the time to make their build tools framework-agnostic (also see, wmr by the Preact guys).

If you want to use svg with React components, install vite-plugin-svgr.

We need vite-plugin-svgr in order to import SVGs as React components. For example:

If you're using Vite, then maybe try one of these: - https://github.com/pd4d10/vite-plugin-svgr - https://github.com/vbenjs/vite-plugin-svg-icons

Instead of webpack svgr - vite has a community plugin vite-plugin-svgr. Looking at its source code I can tell that it does the work as needed. In the future, I may want to add more SVGR options (currently for custom colors we use css currentColor property), so I may contribute it or create a similar plugin. NOTE: vite bundles the static svg in addition to assets even if you use vite-plugin-svgr. So many useless files will be generated. This is a minor issue that can be unnoticeable. I created a script for deleting those files (it has 0 impacts on the bundle because the client does not download those chunks).
