Development Helping Docs:

Enqueue Assets:

Now easy enqueue from version 1.0.6 No need to worry about the dev environment enqueue or Production level enqueue. everything here can be managed by Vite dedicated class (includes/Classes/Vite.php)

Just Call like this

Vite::enqueueScript($enqueueTag, $yourAdminSourcePath, $dependency = [], $version = null, $inFooter = false)

Note: same as wp_enqueue_script

Example use case:

No need to enqueue production manually again, It will enqueue from manifest on production. Just call `Vite::enqueueScript()`

Vite::enqueueScript('my-plugin-script-boot', 'admin/start.js', array('jquery'), PLUGIN_CONST_VERSION, true)

Vite::enqueueStyle('my-plugin-style', 'scss/my-style.js', array(), PLUGIN_CONST_VERSION, true)

NOT RECOMMENDED wp_enqueue_script (see why)

If you want to use wp_enqueue_script then you have to call both dev and production manually:

(Production and dev enqueue script should be like this)

if (defined('PLUGIN_CONST_DEVELOPMENT') && PLUGIN_CONST_DEVELOPMENT !== 'yes') {
    wp_enqueue_script('pluginlowercase-script-boot', PLUGIN_CONST_URL . 'assets/js/start.js', array('jquery'), PLUGIN_CONST_VERSION, false);
} else {
    wp_enqueue_script('pluginlowercase-script-boot', 'http://localhost:8880/' . 'src/admin/start.js', array('jquery'), PLUGIN_CONST_VERSION, true);
}
