+# vite-plugin-absolute-dynamic-imports
+
+Rewrites relative import specifiers (`import`, `export ... from`, and dynamic
+`import()`) inside built JS chunks to absolute URLs prefixed with a `base`
+you provide.
+
+## Why
+
+Vite already lets you set a `base` for the entry HTML and asset URLs, but
+chunk-to-chunk imports inside the built JS are still emitted as relative
+paths (`./chunks/foo-abc123.js`). That's fine when your build output is
+served from the same directory it was built into — it breaks when it isn't.
+
+This is the common case for AEM: your `vite build` output lands in `dist/`,
+but gets deployed and served from a clientlib path like
+`/etc.clientlibs/my-site/clientlibs/clientlib-site/resources/`. Relative
+chunk imports resolve against the *page* the script runs on, not against
+`dist/`, so they 404 in production even though everything works with `vite
+preview` locally.
+
+## Install
+
+```sh
+npm install --save-dev vite-plugin-absolute-dynamic-imports
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```js
+// vite.config.js
+import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
+import absoluteDynamicImports from 'vite-plugin-absolute-dynamic-imports'
+
+const CLIENTLIB_BASE = '/etc.clientlibs/my-site/clientlibs/clientlib-site/resources/'
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  plugins: [
+    absoluteDynamicImports(CLIENTLIB_BASE)
+  ]
+})
+```
+
+The plugin only runs during `vite build` (it sets `apply: 'build'`
+internally) — no need to conditionally include it based on `command`.
+
+## How it works
+
+After Rollup/Rolldown writes the bundle (`writeBundle`), the plugin parses
+each emitted JS chunk with [es-module-lexer](https://github.com/guybedford/es-module-lexer)
+and rewrites every import specifier that starts with `.` to
+`base + <resolved path>`, based on the chunk's own location in the output
+directory. Non-relative specifiers (bare package names, already-absolute
+URLs) are left untouched.
