 ### Custom Directives Replacement
-You can replace custom directives by adding the directive name to the `custom_directives` array in the `config/minify.php` file. For example in AlpineJS you can write `@click="function()"`. Unfortunately, Minify for Laravel will remove the `@` symbol. You can replace it by adding `@ => x-click:`  to the `directives` array. For example:

 ```php
 "directives" => [
     '@' => 'x-on:',
 ],
 ```
 
+### Keep Directives
+You can keep directives by adding the directive name to the `keep_directives` array in the `config/minify.php` file. For example when you use `@vite`, you can add `@vite` to the `keep_directives` array. For example:
+
+```php
+"keep_directives" => [
+    '@vite'
+],
+```
