::: tip Feedback Give us feedback at Environment API feedback discussion :::
Multiple APIs from ViteDevServer related to module graph and modules transforms have been moved to the DevEnvironment instances.
Affected scope: Vite Plugin Authors
::: warning Future Deprecation
The Environment instance was first introduced at v6.0. The deprecation of server.moduleGraph and other methods that are now in environments is planned for a future major. We don't recommend moving away from server methods yet. To identify your usage, set these in your vite config.
future: {
removeServerModuleGraph: 'warn',
removeServerTransformRequest: 'warn',
}:::
In Vite v5 and before, a single Vite dev server always had two environments (client and ssr). The server.moduleGraph had mixed modules from both of these environments. Nodes were connected through clientImportedModules and ssrImportedModules lists (but a single importers list was maintained for each). A transformed module was represented by an id and a ssr boolean. This boolean needed to be passed to APIs, for example server.moduleGraph.getModuleByUrl(url, ssr) and server.transformRequest(url, { ssr }).
In Vite v6, it is now possible to create any number of custom environments (client, ssr, edge, etc). A single ssr boolean isn't enough anymore. Instead of changing the APIs to be of the form server.transformRequest(url, { environment }), we moved these methods to the environment instance allowing them to be called without a Vite dev server.
