Vite support

[rtritto]

import express from 'express'
import swig from 'free-swig'

const app = express()

// cache is false
const swigOptions = {
  cache: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? 'memory' : false
}

// Swig generates the TypeError
const swigEngine = new swig.Swig(swigOptions)

Output

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'file')

i don't know enough about Express or Vite to fix this with the time I have. Care to offer a pull request?
you might want to look at this example if you havent already https://github.com/steevhise/free-swig/blob/main/examples/express/server.js

Also, this will likely not be where support for the module happens as I'm not at Freecycle any more. and my replacement there is asleep at the wheel. check out my fork of it. my latest release comes from there.

Waiting an answer from vituum/vituum#52 where a plugin for Vite should be created.
We can support or open a PR to Vituum.
Some examples: https://github.com/vituum/vituum/tree/main/examples
Next step is maybe to link the Vite plugin for swig in free-swig.

No plan to create Vite plugin for swig: vituum/vituum#52 (comment)
