Frontend Usage in CodeIgniter

Once Vite is configured, use the vite_tags() helper function provided by jengo/base in your HTML <head>:

<!-- app/Views/layouts/partials/header.layout.partial.php -->
<?php if (function_exists('vite_tags')): ?>
    <?= vite_tags() ?>
<?php endif; ?>

The vite_tags() helper automatically:

1. Detects if you are in development (CI_ENVIRONMENT=development).
2. If in dev mode, injects the Vite HMR client scripts and connects to the Vite Dev Server (using VITE_DEV_SERVER from your .env).
3. If React entrypoints are detected, injects the React Refresh Preamble automatically.
4. In production mode, parses the public/dist/.vite/manifest.json and outputs the compiled, version-hashed CSS and JS <link> and <script> tags.
