Dotvault for Vite

Dotvault for Vite projects.

Vite uses the VITE_ prefix for client-exposed env vars. Anything without it stays server-side. Dotvault understands the convention, detects Vite projects automatically, and gives you the visual editor you'd actually want for managing them.

What you get

  • →Detects Vite from package.json, and works with React, Vue, Svelte, and vanilla Vite setups.
  • →Understands the VITE_ prefix for client-exposed values.
  • →Warns when a VITE_ value can only be a secret: a Stripe or Anthropic secret key, a GitHub or Slack token, an AWS access key id, or a key named SECRET, PASSWORD or PRIVATE_KEY.
  • →Snapshot history and diff between environment files.
  • →Smart warnings for common mistakes.

Known environment variables

Dotvault recognises these variables when you open a Vite project and surfaces helpful descriptions and warnings in the editor. Vite is detected via vite in package.json.
