Platformatic Vite

The Platformatic Remix allows to run a Remix application as a Platformatic Runtime service with no modifications.

Getting Started​

Create or copy a Vite application inside the web or services folder. If you are not using autoload, you also have to explictly add the new service.

You are all set, you can now start your runtime as usual via wattpm dev or plt start.

Example configuration file​

{
  "$schema": "https://schemas.platformatic.dev/@platformatic/remix/2.0.0.json",
  "application": {
    "basePath": "/frontend"
  }
}

Architecture​

When running in development mode, the Vite development server instrumented with @remix-run/dev is run a in worker thread in the same process of the Platformatic runtime. The server port is chosen randomly and it will override any user setting.

When running in production mode, a custom Express server instrumented with @remix-run/express will serve the built application. The service is run a in worker thread in the same process of the Platformatic runtime and it will not start a TCP server unless it's the runtime entrypoint.

In both modes if the service uses the commands property then it's responsible to start a HTTP server. The Platformatic runtime will modify the server port replacing it with a random port and then it will integrate the external service in the runtime.

Configuration​

See the configuration page.

API​

  • platformatic.setBasePath(path): This function can be use to override the base path for the service. If not properly configure in the composer, this can make your application unaccessible.
  • platformatic.id: The id of the service.
  • platformatic.root: The root directory of the service.
  • platformatic.basePath: The base path of the service in the composer.
