## What it is
Vite Ruby is a set of Ruby libraries that integrate the Vite.js frontend build tool with Ruby frameworks like Rails and Hanami. It enables instant dev server startup, hot module reload, and zero-config production bundling integrated with Rails asset precompilation.

## Use cases
- use vite instead of webpacker in a rails app
- add hot module reload to my ruby web app frontend
- bundle javascript assets in hanami with vite
- speed up frontend dev server startup in rails
- integrate vite build with assets:precompile rake task
- replace webpack with a faster frontend tooling setup in ruby

## When to choose
- you're building a Rails or Hanami app with modern JavaScript or TypeScript frontend
- you want fast HMR and instant dev server start compared to webpacker
- you want production bundling with tree-shaking integrated into Rails asset tasks

## When to avoid
- your app has no JavaScript/frontend assets beyond minimal scripts
- you're heavily invested in webpacker or importmap-rails and don't need a bundler
- your stack isn't Ruby-based

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: build-tool, developer-tools, middleware
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: ruby
