Is there any existing documentation on Vite+ w/ Nuxt?

[rijkvanzanten]

Heya!

I've been trying to migrate a Nuxt app to Vite+, but am running into some dependency shenanigans. From what I can tell, Nitro v3 has experimental rolldown support which is required for Vite+ to work, but Nuxt 4 is currently tightly coupled to nitropack v2.

One solution would be to just wait for Nuxt v5, as that'll reportedly natively use Nitro v3, but I am wondering:

Did anybody here successfully monkey-patch the dependency tree of a Nuxt app to make it work with Vite+? Cheers!

(@TheAlexLichter figured I'd post this publicly in case it'll help others in the future :) )

You can still install it and override the deps via the migration command. The Nitro part will be in v2 and rollup but you get the benefits for "the vite part" of your Nuxt app.

The vite migrate command alone isn't enough to get things running by the looks of it. When building my app after migration, I'm getting:

Nuxt build error: Error: Cannot find package 'rolldown' imported from /Users/rijkvanzanten/Developer/directus/docs/node_modules/.pnpm/@nuxt+vite-builder@4.3.1_@types+node@25.2.2_eslint@9.28.0_jiti@2.6.1__magicast@0.5.2_nu_5d7188cb389bf6fc8d666d5a1ed4d180/node_modules/@nuxt/vite-builder/dist/index.mjs

After installing rolldown manually (pnpm add -D rolldown), I'm getting an error in Nitro's pre-render:

 __exportAll is not a function

This is on directus/docs as a trial, haven't yet setup a blank reproduction
