A Vite plugin that turns Vite into a Node.js development server with hot module replacement (HMR) for backend apps. It supports Express, Fastify, Koa, and Nest out of the box, plus custom request adapters and a choice of TypeScript compilers.

Use cases

• hot reload my node express server during development
• use vite as a dev server for a fastify backend
• run a nestjs app with HMR
• avoid nodemon and get instant module replacement in node
• develop a koa server with typescript and hot reload
• add hot module replacement to my node api

When to choose

• you want Vite's fast dev experience and HMR for a Node backend
• you use Express, Fastify, Koa, or Nest and want instant reloads
• you want TypeScript compilation with Vite or optional SWC support

When to avoid

• you need a production build/deploy tool rather than a dev server
• your framework has no adapter and you don't want to write a custom one
• you don't use Vite in your toolchain
