+# Environment API for Frameworks
+
+:::warning Experimental
+Initial work for this API was introduced in Vite 5.1 with the name "Vite Runtime API". This guide describes a revised API, renamed to Environment API. This API will be released in Vite 6 as experimental. You can already test it in the latest `[email protected]` version.
+
+Resources:
+
+- [Feedback discussion](https://github.com/vitejs/vite/discussions/16358) where we are gathering feedback about the new APIs.
+- [Environment API PR](https://github.com/vitejs/vite/pull/16471) where the new API were implemented and reviewed.
+
+Please share with us your feedback as you test the proposal.
+:::
+
+## Environments and frameworks
+
+The implicit `ssr` environment and other non-client environments use a `RunnableDevEnvironment` by default during dev. While this requires the runtime to be the same with the one the Vite server is running in, this works similarly with `ssrLoadModule` and allows frameworks to migrate and enable HMR for their SSR dev story. You can guard any runnable environment with an `isRunnableDevEnvironment` function.
+
+```ts
+export class RunnableDevEnvironment extends DevEnvironment {
+  public readonly runner: ModuleRunner
+}
+
+class ModuleRunner {
+  /**
+   * URL to execute. Accepts file path, server path, or id relative to the root.
+   * Returns an instantiated module (same as in ssrLoadModule)
+   */
+  public async import(url: string): Promise<Record<string, any>>
+  /**
+   * Other ModuleRunner methods...
+   */
+}
+
+if (isRunnableDevEnvironment(server.environments.ssr)) {
+  await server.environments.ssr.runner.import('/entry-point.js')
+}
+```
+
+:::warning
+The `runner` is evaluated eagerly when it's accessed for the first time. Beware that Vite enables source map support when the `runner` is created by calling `process.setSourceMapsEnabled` or by overriding `Error.prepareStackTrace` if it's not available.
+:::
+
+## Default `RunnableDevEnvironment`
+
+Given a Vite server configured in middleware mode as described by the [SSR setup guide](/guide/ssr#setting-up-the-dev-server), let's implement the SSR middleware using the environment API. Error handling is omitted.
+
+```js
+import { createServer } from 'vite'
+
+const server = await createServer({
+  server: { middlewareMode: true },
+  appType: 'custom',
+  environments: {
+    server: {
+      // by default, the modules are run in the same process as the vite dev server during dev
+    },
+  },
+})
+
+// You might need to cast this to RunnableDevEnvironment in TypeScript or use
+// the "isRunnableDevEnvironment" function to guard the access to the runner
+const environment = server.environments.node
+
+app.use('*', async (req, res, next) => {
+  const url = req.originalUrl
+
+  // 1. Read index.html
+  let template = fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, 'index.html'), 'utf-8')
+
+  // 2. Apply Vite HTML transforms. This injects the Vite HMR client,
+  //    and also applies HTML transforms from Vite plugins, e.g. global
+  //    preambles from @vitejs/plugin-react
+  template = await server.transformIndexHtml(url, template)
+
+  // 3. Load the server entry. import(url) automatically transforms
+  //    ESM source code to be usable in Node.js! There is no bundling
+  //    required, and provides full HMR support.
+  const { render } = await environment.runner.import('/src/entry-server.js')
+
+  // 4. render the app HTML. This assumes entry-server.js's exported
+  //     `render` function calls appropriate framework SSR APIs,
+  //    e.g. ReactDOMServer.renderToString()
+  const appHtml = await render(url)
+
+  // 5. Inject the app-rendered HTML into the template.
+  const html = template.replace(`<!--ssr-outlet-->`, appHtml)
+
+  // 6. Send the rendered HTML back.
+  res.status(200).set({ 'Content-Type': 'text/html' }).end(html)
+})
+```
+
+## Runtime agnostic SSR
+
+Since the `RunnableDevEnvironment` can only be used to run the code in the same runtime as the Vite server, it requires a runtime that can run the Vite Server (a runtime that is compatible with Node.js). This means that you will need to use the raw `DevEnvironment` to make it runtime agnostic.
+
+:::info `FetchableDevEnvironment` proposal
+
+The initial proposal had a `run` method on the `DevEnvironment` class that would allow consumers to invoke an import on the runner side by using the `transport` option. During our testing we found out that the API was not universal enough to start recommending it. At the moment, we are looking for feedback on [the `FetchableDevEnvironment` proposal](https://github.com/vitejs/vite/discussions/18191).
+
+:::
+
+`RunnableDevEnvironment` has a `runner.import` function that returns the value of the module. But this function is not available in the raw `DevEnvironment` and requires the code using the Vite's APIs and the user modules to be decoupled.
+
+For example, the following example uses the value of the user module from the code using the Vite's APIs:
+
+```ts
+// code using the Vite's APIs
+import { createServer } from 'vite'
+
+const server = createServer()
+const ssrEnvironment = server.environment.ssr
+const input = {}
+
+const { createHandler } = await ssrEnvironment.runner.import('./entrypoint.js')
+const handler = createHandler(input)
+const response = handler(new Request('/'))
+
+// -------------------------------------
+// ./entrypoint.js
+export function createHandler(input) {
+  return function handler(req) {
+    return new Response('hello')
+  }
+}
+```
+
+If your code can run in the same runtime as the user modules (i.e., it does not rely on Node.js-specific APIs), you can use a virtual module. This approach eliminates the need to access the value from the code using Vite's APIs.
+
+```ts
+// code using the Vite's APIs
+import { createServer } from 'vite'
+
+const server = createServer({
+  plugins: [
+    // a plugin that handles `virtual:entrypoint`
+    {
+      name: 'virtual-module',
+      /* plugin implementation */
+    },
+  ],
+})
+const ssrEnvironment = server.environment.ssr
+const input = {}
+
+// use exposed functions by each environment factories that runs the code
+// check for each environment factories what they provide
+if (ssrEnvironment instanceof RunnableDevEnvironment) {
+  ssrEnvironment.runner.import('virtual:entrypoint')
+} else if (ssrEnvironment instanceof CustomDevEnvironment) {
+  ssrEnvironment.runEntrypoint('virtual:entrypoint')
+} else {
+  throw new Error(`Unsupported runtime for ${ssrEnvironment.name}`)
+}
+
+// -------------------------------------
+// virtual:entrypoint
+const { createHandler } = await import('./entrypoint.js')
+const handler = createHandler(input)
+const response = handler(new Request('/'))
+
+// -------------------------------------
+// ./entrypoint.js
+export function createHandler(input) {
+  return function handler(req) {
+    return new Response('hello')
+  }
+}
+```
+
+For example, to call `transformIndexHtml` on the user module, the following plugin can be used:
+
+```ts {13-21}
+function vitePluginVirtualIndexHtml(): Plugin {
+  let server: ViteDevServer | undefined
+  return {
+    name: vitePluginVirtualIndexHtml.name,
+    configureServer(server_) {
+      server = server_
+    },
+    resolveId(source) {
+      return source === 'virtual:index-html' ? '\0' + source : undefined
+    },
+    async load(id) {
+      if (id === '\0' + 'virtual:index-html') {
+        let html: string
+        if (server) {
+          this.addWatchFile('index.html')
+          html = await fs.promises.readFile('index.html', 'utf-8')
+          html = await server.transformIndexHtml('/', html)
+        } else {
+          html = await fs.promises.readFile('dist/client/index.html', 'utf-8')
+        }
+        return `export default ${JSON.stringify(html)}`
+      }
+      return
+    },
+  }
+}
+```
+
+If your code requires Node.js APIs, you can use `hot.send` to communicate with the code that uses Vite's APIs from the user modules. However, be aware that this approach may not work the same way after the build process.
+
+```ts
+// code using the Vite's APIs
+import { createServer } from 'vite'
+
+const server = createServer({
+  plugins: [
+    // a plugin that handles `virtual:entrypoint`
+    {
+      name: 'virtual-module',
+      /* plugin implementation */
+    },
+  ],
+})
+const ssrEnvironment = server.environment.ssr
+const input = {}
+
+// use exposed functions by each environment factories that runs the code
+// check for each environment factories what they provide
+if (ssrEnvironment instanceof RunnableDevEnvironment) {
+  ssrEnvironment.runner.import('virtual:entrypoint')
+} else if (ssrEnvironment instanceof CustomDevEnvironment) {
+  ssrEnvironment.runEntrypoint('virtual:entrypoint')
+} else {
+  throw new Error(`Unsupported runtime for ${ssrEnvironment.name}`)
+}
+
+const req = new Request('/')
+
+const uniqueId = 'a-unique-id'
+ssrEnvironment.send('request', serialize({ req, uniqueId }))
+const response = await new Promise((resolve) => {
+  ssrEnvironment.on('response', (data) => {
+    data = deserialize(data)
+    if (data.uniqueId === uniqueId) {
+      resolve(data.res)
+    }
+  })
+})
+
+// -------------------------------------
+// virtual:entrypoint
+const { createHandler } = await import('./entrypoint.js')
+const handler = createHandler(input)
+
+import.meta.hot.on('request', (data) => {
+  const { req, uniqueId } = deserialize(data)
+  const res = handler(req)
+  import.meta.hot.send('response', serialize({ res: res, uniqueId }))
+})
+
+const response = handler(new Request('/'))
+
+// -------------------------------------
+// ./entrypoint.js
+export function createHandler(input) {
+  return function handler(req) {
+    return new Response('hello')
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Environments during build
+
+In the CLI, calling `vite build` and `vite build --ssr` will still build the client only and ssr only environments for backward compatibility.
+
+When `builder.entireApp` is `true` (or when calling `vite build --app`), `vite build` will opt-in into building the entire app instead. This would later on become the default in a future major. A `ViteBuilder` instance will be created (build-time equivalent to a `ViteDevServer`) to build all configured environments for production. By default the build of environments is run in series respecting the order of the `environments` record. A framework or user can further configure how the environments are built using:
+
+```js
+export default {
+  builder: {
+    buildApp: async (builder) => {
+      const environments = Object.values(builder.environments)
+      return Promise.all(
+        environments.map((environment) => builder.build(environment)),
+      )
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Environment agnostic code
+
+Most of the time, the current `environment` instance will be available as part of the context of the code being run so the need to access them through `server.environments` should be rare. For example, inside plugin hooks the environment is exposed as part of the `PluginContext`, so it can be accessed using `this.environment`. See [Environment API for Plugins](./api-environment-plugins.md) to learn about how to build environment aware plugins.
