Use when wiring Directus into a plain Vite/Vue app with @rstore/vite-directus, including rstoreDirectus config, virtual:rstore-directus modules, generated rstore-directus.d.ts declarations, build-time Directus introspection, and store setup with the generated schema and directusPlugin. Pair with rstore-directus for shared Directus adapter behavior and rstore-vue for collection/query/form usage.

Rstore Vite Directus

Use @rstore/vite-directus to generate Directus-backed rstore schema and plugin modules in a non-Nuxt Vite app.

Setup

Register the Vite plugin in vite.config.ts:

import { rstoreDirectus } from '@rstore/vite-directus'
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    rstoreDirectus({
      url: 'https://your-directus-instance.com',
      adminToken: process.env.DIRECTUS_TOKEN,
      scopeId: 'rstore-directus',
    }),
  ],
})

Then create the store from the generated virtual module:

import { createStore, RstorePlugin } from '@rstore/vue'
import { directusPlugin, schema } from 'virtual:rstore-directus'

const store = await createStore({
  schema,
  plugins: [directusPlugin],
})

app.use(RstorePlugin, { store })

Options

OptionPurpose
urlDirectus API URL used for schema loading and runtime client code
adminTokenBuild-time Directus admin token for introspection
scopeIdrstore plugin scope id, defaulting to rstore-directus
dtsDeclaration output path, true/omitted for rstore-directus.d.ts, or false to disable

Virtual Modules

  • virtual:rstore-directus re-exports schema, directus, and directusPlugin.
  • virtual:rstore-directus/schema exports the generated rstore schema.
  • virtual:rstore-directus/plugin exports the Directus SDK client and rstore plugin.

Generated Declarations

  • The plugin writes rstore-directus.d.ts in the Vite root by default.
  • Use dts: 'src/rstore-directus.d.ts' to choose another output.
  • Use dts: false only when the app provides compatible virtual module declarations another way.

Guardrails

  1. Keep adminToken server-side/build-time. The Vite plugin should not emit it into generated modules.
  2. Do not hand-write replacement schema or plugin virtual modules; fix generator input/config instead.
  3. Use the generated schema and directusPlugin together in the same store.
  4. Use rstore-directus for Directus query, schema, singleton, and mutation behavior.
  5. Use rstore-vue for component query/form/cache patterns.
