Vite, Ember, and the future

What is the future for Vite and Ember?

Will Ember at some point require Vite?

I’m sure this is published somewhere, but I couldn’t locate where. Any such published documents linked here will be greatly appreciated.

On the off chance that no such public documents exist, what’re the answers to my questions?

Thanks!

I was under the impression that the idea was “Vite by default, other build tools supported, because it’s all just JS” but I’m not sure if that’s still the plan or not or how much work it is from here to make it generally compatible.

As of Ember 6.8 a newly generated project uses vite. This is from the v2 app RFC.

Existing projects can move to Vite using GitHub - mainmatter/ember-vite-codemod · GitHub

We’re still putting the polish on moving to Vite (mostly docs remaining). Sometime in the 7.x series we plan to deprecate building with the classic Ember build pipeline, but before that happens there will be an RFC to do so posted on GitHub - emberjs/rfcs: RFCs for changes to Ember · GitHub
