      • esbuildTarget is now .
      • emitManifest is now build.manifest.

    Alias Behavior Change

    alias is now being passed to @rollup/plugin-alias and no longer require start/ending slashes. The behavior is now a direct replacement, so 1.0-style directory alias key should remove the ending slash:

    Alternatively, you can use the option format for more precise control.

    Vite 2 uses a completely redesigned plugin interface which extends Rollup plugins. Please read the new .

    Some general pointers on migrating a v1 plugin to v2:

    • resolvers -> use the resolveId hook
    • transforms -> use the hook
    • indexHtmlTransforms -> use the transformIndexHtml hook
    • Serving virtual files -> use + load hooks

    Since most of the logic should be done via plugin hooks instead of middlewares, the need for middlewares is greatly reduced. The internal server app is now a good old instance instead of Koa.
