vite-multi-spa

Vite plugin that lets every .html in src/pages behave like its own SPA entry during dev and build.

Quick start

// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import viteMultiSpa from 'vite-multi-spa'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    viteMultiSpa({
      pagesRoot: 'src/pages', // optional
      // transformPageHtml: html => html, // optional, supports array
    }),
  ],
})

What it does

• Serves documents from pagesRoot when the browser requests /foo or /foo/.
• Serves page-relative assets when requested from a page (based on the Referer header).
• Runs transformPageHtml only on /index.html and pages under pagesRoot.
• Emits every ${pagesRoot}/**/*.html as a build chunk and flattens outputs to the root of dist.

Options

• pagesRoot (string, default src/pages): Folder scanned for .html pages.
• transformPageHtml (IndexHtmlTransformHook | IndexHtmlTransformHook[]): Passed through to Vite and scoped to pages. See Vite's API documentation.
• redirects (Record<string, string>): Rewrite requests matching a pattern to a specific .html file (resolved using the pagesRoot). Supports Cloudflare-style splats and placeholders.

  redirects: {
    '/admin/*': 'admin.html',
    '/users/:id': 'user.html',
    '/blog/*': 'blog/:splat.html',
  }
  

Example

See the example branch, run pnpm install && pnpm dev, and you will observe src/pages/contact.html served in dev mode and emitted through the build so SPA behavior is obvious in both scenarios.

FAQ

• How are my pages' .html files processed? Exactly the same way Vite processes the default index.html—script tags bundle and can contain ESM imports, relative assets resolve from the HTML file (e.g. <script type="module" src="main.tsx"></script> checks main.tsx next to that page), and everything else that works for Vite's root HTML works per-page here.
• Are you open to supporting templating engines? Sure am; if you have ideas, feel free to write up a proposal, but please no unsolicited PRs for this feature.
• Does this work with Cloudflare's @cloudflare/vite-plugin? You bet. I use those plugins together in production and made sure they play nicely.
