Plugin for copying and transforming a file during "dev" sessions

[Shujee]

Is there a plugin that I could use to copy and then transform a file at the start of npm run dev sessions? All the plugins that I have found only work when npm run build is executed. I need to generate a manifest file that will be used by the application during development build.

Hi,

I had a similar need as yours and I ended up creating a vite plugin for it. It's working out well for me. Check out vite run task plugin and let me know if it fits your need.
