How do you handle modern Shopify theme development

Hey! I’m curious about your workflows for developing Shopify themes in 2025.

I’ve already made a post some time ago specifically about using Vite. It gives me a great setup with hot reload, SCSS/TS support, and outputs everything into the assets folder - perfectly matching Shopify’s expectations.

But now I’m wondering - what other tools or setups are you all using?

Here’s my current situation:

  • On an older store I still have a Gulp.js-based workflow (yeah, it’s getting outdated).
  • On recent ones, I’m using vite-shopify and am happy with it so far. But maybe there is a better approach. Maybe simpler?

That said, I’d love to learn more about how other devs approach this.

  • Are you using different bundlers like Webpack, or something custom?
  • How do you manage SCSS and TypeScript compilation?

Looking for workflows that feel fast, modern, and clean - especially for handling assets in the /assets folder properly.

Cheers!
