 */
export const addCustomElement = (
  bundlerOptions: unknown,
  app: App,
  customElement: string[] | string | RegExp
) => void;

import { addCustomElement } from '@vuepress/helper'

addCustomElement(bundlerConfig, app, 'my-custom-element')
addCustomElement(bundlerOptions, app, [

Vite Related

• addViteOptimizeDepsInclude

  Add modules to Vite optimizeDeps.include list

  TIP

  If a package meets one of the following conditions, you should consider adding it here.

  • It's in CJS format
  • It's dependencies include CJS package
  • It's dynamically imported via import()

• addViteOptimizeDepsExclude

  Add modules to Vite optimizeDeps.exclude list

  If a package and its dependencies are all pure ESM packages, you should consider adding it here.

• addViteSsrExternal

  Add modules to Vite ssr.external list

  If a package is a pure ESM package and does not use aliases or define variables, you should consider adding it here.

• addViteSsrNoExternal

  Add modules to Vite ssr.noExternal list

  If an alias or define is used within a package, you must add it here.

  /**
   * Add modules to Vite `optimizeDeps.include` list
   */
  export const addViteOptimizeDepsInclude: (
    bundlerOptions: unknown,
    app: App,
    module: string | string[],

  import {
    addViteOptimizeDepsInclude,
    addViteOptimizeDepsExclude,
    addViteSsrExternal,
    addViteSsrNoExternal,
  } from '@vuepress/helper'
  
  addViteOptimizeDepsInclude(bundlerOptions, app, ['vue', 'vue-router'])
  addViteOptimizeDepsExclude(bundlerOptions, app, 'packageA')
  addViteSsrNoExternal(bundlerOptions, app, ['vue', 'vue-router'])
  addViteSsrExternal(bundlerOptions, app, 'packageA')
  

• addViteConfig

  A function for you to add vite config

  export const addViteConfig: (
    bundlerOptions: unknown,
    app: App,
    config: Record<string, unknown>,
  ) => void
  

  Example

  import { addViteConfig } from '@vuepress/helper'
  
  addViteConfig(bundlerOptions, app, {
    build: {
      charset: 'utf8',
    },
  })
  

• mergeViteConfig

  A function for you to merge vite config.

  WARNING

  Your users may choose to use other bundler so it's pretty bad to declare vite as deps!

  export const mergeViteConfig: (
    defaults: Record<string, any>,
    overrides: Record<string, any>,
  ) => Record<string, any>
  

  Example

  import { mergeViteConfig } from '@vuepress/helper'

      charset: 'utf8',
    },
