## Features

- On-demand evaluation
- Vite's pipeline, plugins, resolve, aliasing
- Out-of-box ESM & TypeScript support
- Respect `vite.config.ts`
- Hot module replacement (HMR)
- Separate server/client architecture
- Top-level `await`
- Shims for `__dirname` and `__filename` in ESM
- Access to native node modules like `fs`, `path`, etc.

## CLI Usage

Run JS/TS file on Node.js using Vite's resolvers and transformers.

```bash
npx vite-node index.ts
```

Options:

```bash
npx vite-node -h
```

### Options via CLI

[All `ViteNodeServer` options](https://github.com/vitest-dev/vitest/blob/main/packages/vite-node/src/types.ts#L92-L111) are supported by the CLI. They may be defined through the dot syntax, as shown below:

```bash
npx vite-node --options.deps.inline="module-name" --options.deps.external="/module-regexp/" index.ts
```

Note that for options supporting RegExps, strings passed to the CLI must start _and_ end with a `/`;

### Hashbang

If you prefer to write scripts that don't need to be passed into Vite Node, you can declare it in the [hashbang](https://bash.cyberciti.biz/guide/Shebang).

Simply add `#!/usr/bin/env vite-node --script` at the top of your file:

_file.ts_
```ts
#!/usr/bin/env vite-node --script

console.log('argv:', process.argv.slice(2))
```

And make the file executable:
```sh
chmod +x ./file.ts
```

Now, you can run the file without passing it into Vite Node:
```sh
$ ./file.ts hello
argv: [ 'hello' ]
```

Note that when using the `--script` option, Vite Node forwards every argument and option to the script to execute, even the one supported by Vite Node itself.

## Programmatic Usage

In Vite Node, the server and runner (client) are separated, so you can integrate them in different contexts (workers, cross-process, or remote) if needed. The demo below shows a simple example of having both (server and runner) running in the same context

```ts
import { createServer } from 'vite'
import { ViteNodeServer } from 'vite-node/server'
import { ViteNodeRunner } from 'vite-node/client'
import { installSourcemapsSupport } from 'vite-node/source-map'

// create vite server
const server = await createServer({
  optimizeDeps: {
    // It's recommended to disable deps optimization
    disabled: true,
  },
})
// this is need to initialize the plugins
await server.pluginContainer.buildStart({})

// create vite-node server
const node = new ViteNodeServer(server)

// fixes stacktraces in Errors
installSourcemapsSupport({
  getSourceMap: source => node.getSourceMap(source),
})

// create vite-node runner
const runner = new ViteNodeRunner({
  root: server.config.root,
  base: server.config.base,
  // when having the server and runner in a different context,
  // you will need to handle the communication between them
  // and pass to this function
  fetchModule(id) {
    return node.fetchModule(id)
  },
  resolveId(id, importer) {
    return node.resolveId(id, importer)
  },
})

// execute the file
await runner.executeFile('./example.ts')

// close the vite server
await server.close()
```

## Debugging

### Debug Transformation

Sometimes you might want to inspect the transformed code to investigate issues. You can set environment variable `VITE_NODE_DEBUG_DUMP=true` to let vite-node write the transformed result of each module under `.vite-node/dump`.

If you want to debug by modifying the dumped code, you can change the value of `VITE_NODE_DEBUG_DUMP` to `load` and search for the dumped files and use them for executing.

```bash
VITE_NODE_DEBUG_DUMP=load vite-node example.ts
```

Or programmatically:

```js
import { ViteNodeServer } from 'vite-node/server'

const server = new ViteNodeServer(viteServer, {
  debug: {
    dumpModules: true,
    loadDumppedModules: true,
  }
})
```

### Debug Execution

If the process gets stuck, it might be because there are unresolvable circular dependencies. You can set `VITE_NODE_DEBUG_RUNNER=true` for vite-node to warn about this.

```bash
VITE_NODE_DEBUG_RUNNER=true vite-node example.ts
```

Or programmatically:

```js
import { ViteNodeRunner } from 'vite-node/client'

const runner = new ViteNodeRunner({
  debug: true
})
```

## Credits

Based on [@pi0](https://github.com/pi0)'s brilliant idea of having a Vite server as the on-demand transforming service for [Nuxt's Vite SSR](https://github.com/nuxt/vite/pull/201).

Thanks [@brillout](https://github.com/brillout) for kindly sharing this package name.
