Feature: Move Vite/Nitro integration into a standalone plugin

[brandonroberts]

Which scope/s are relevant/related to the feature request?

platform

Information

Currently Analog uses Nitro underneath as its server engine, configured through an internal Vite plugin. This feature would separate the internal Vite/Nitro plugin from @analogjs/platform plugin into its package as @analogjs/vite-plugin-nitro.

This plugin would be framework agnostic and able to be used in any Vite application.

What if we don't want to use nitro at all but use our own server implementation ?

You did something here https://github.com/Yberion/Angular-SSR-Common-Engine/pull/1, but from what I remember, it was still using nitro behind the scene and I would suspect that it could add some overhead and reduce the performance (I might be wrong).

It would be nice to have another plugin that don't rely on nitro for the server integration, something such as @analogjs/vite-plugin-server-common (or anything else)?

[brandonroberts]

It was using Nitro to build the server app, but none of the Nitro parts were being used there. Creating a separate plugin for server integration would also require building a new process for prerendering pages also.

It's possible, but would be a more substantial effort.
