Update to latest version of Vite?

[nickcotton]

Hi! Wondering the best way to update to latest version of Vite (or even try beta versions)? Do I need to update the gem, bundle install and bundle exec vite install again? Or would I just update my package.json to the latest vite version? Ideally I'd like to keep any existing config. Thanks!

Hi Nick!

bundle exec vite install should only be run once when first setting up the gem, and it should not be run when upgrading.

Added a bin/vite upgrade command to 3.0.0, which can be run to perform the following process automatically.

Upgrading npm packages

You can update the vite package independently, but it's always convenient to update vite-plugin-ruby, in case there are any breaking changes that require the plugin to be updated as well.

yarn upgrade vite vite-plugin-ruby # or npm upgrade

You can also specify a version manually in package.json, for example: "vite": "^2.5.0-beta.2",

It's always convenient to check the changelog when upgrading, specially if upgrading to a major or minor version.

Upgrading Ruby gems

When upgrading the packages, you might want to also upgrade the gems to stay up-to-date:

bundle update vite_ruby vite_rails

Upgrading the gems does not upgrade the npm packages, and viceversa.

Fantastic, thanks! This is all really helpful.

@nickcotton Added a bin/vite upgrade command to 3.0.0, intended to simplify the process described above.

Would love to get some feedback on it, let me know if you try it!
