## Notes

Vite Ruby connects the Vite frontend build tool to Ruby applications. For Rails, the gem `vite_rails` provides a complete setup, so a Rails application can use Vite for its frontend. The gem is added to the Gemfile and installed with bundle, after which `bin/vite` starts the Vite development server on the developer's machine. The [guide](https://vite-ruby.netlify.app/guide/) also covers the installation steps. Separate gems cover Jekyll, Hanami and Padrino.
