Is this repo actively maintained?

[ehossack]

Normally I hate such issues being filed, but they are also a good indicator as to the health of a repo, if someone is considering using a library.

In this case, I've recently tried emailing the maintainer(s) and gotten no response, as well as observed a bunch of stale issues.

Does the maintainer need help? Should this repo be forked?

For my own needs, I was able to replicate the functionality of this library using solely two widely-used libraries, ejs and html-minifier.

e.g. code below (typescript)

In plugins list:

...
plugins: [
	...,
	processHtml(true, templateVariables),
]

And then the code:

function processHtml(shouldMinify: boolean, templateVariables: MyProjectEjsTemplateVariables): PluginOption {
  return {
    name: 'myproject:processHtml',
    enforce: 'pre',
    transformIndexHtml: {
      enforce: 'pre',
      transform(html: string) {
        const rendered = ejs.render(html, { ...templateVariables }, { root: __dirname });
        return shouldMinify
          ? minify(
              rendered,
              // https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier#options-quick-reference
              {
                collapseWhitespace: true,
                removeComments: true,
                removeAttributeQuotes: true,
                removeScriptTypeAttributes: true,
                removeRedundantAttributes: true,
                removeTagWhitespace: true,
              }
            )
          : rendered;
      },
    },
  };
}

If you only need ejs there is this plugin https://github.com/trapcodeio/vite-plugin-ejs

I'd also love to get an answer to this - we're looking to migrate to Vue 3 and I was under the impression that this package was the standard migration path for projects that used ejs in the entry index.html.

It certainly wasn't obvious from the Vue 3 docs though, so it would be helpful to know if that's an incorrect assumption.

I've found vite-plugin-virtual-html to be a much easier to use plugin!

Here's how I'm using it and it is awesome!

plugins: [vitePluginVirtualHtml({
       pages: {
        index: {
          entry: './demo/index.js', // MUST
          title: `${name} demo`,// optional, default: ''
          body: '<div id="app"><div id="demo"></div></div>' // optional, default: '<div id="app"></div>'
        }
       },
    })]

I also created an alternative.

vite-plugin-simple-html.

Supports:

• EJS variables
• Tag injection
• HTML, CSS and JS minification

I built that to cover my needs in a large project I maintain so rest assured, it won't be abandoned anytime soon :)
