Vite+

Vite+ is the unified toolchain for web development by VoidZero. It consolidates the dev server (Vite), bundler (Rolldown), test runner (Vitest), linter (Oxlint), formatter (Oxfmt), task runner (Vite Task), and library packager (tsdown) into a single CLI called

vp

. It also manages Node.js versions and package managers globally, replacing the need for nvm, fnm, or Corepack.

vp lint

vp fmt

, or

vp check

```
vite.config.ts
```
with
```
lint

,
```
test
```
,
```
run
```
,
```
pack
```
, or
```

CLI commands

Do NOT trigger this skill for:

Plain Vite (without Vite+) configuration - use standard Vite docs instead
Vitest standalone usage without Vite+ wrapping

Setup & authentication

Installation

bash

# macOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://vite.plus | bash

# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://vite.plus/ps1 | iex

Basic project setup

bash

# Interactive project creation
vp create

# Create from a specific template
vp create vite -- --template react-ts

# Monorepo
vp create vite:monorepo

# Migrate existing Vite project
vp migrate

Configuration

All tool configuration lives in a single

vite.config.ts

typescript

import { defineConfig } from 'vite-plus';

export default defineConfig({
  // Standard Vite options
  server: {},
  build: {},
  preview: {},

  // Vite+ extensions
  test: {},     // Vitest
  lint: {},     // Oxlint
  fmt: {},      // Oxfmt
  run: {},      // Vite Task
  pack: {},     // tsdown
  staged: {},   // Pre-commit checks
});

Core concepts

Vite+ ships as two pieces:

vp

(global CLI) and

vite-plus

(local project package). The global CLI handles runtime management and project scaffolding. The local package provides the

defineConfig

function and all tool integrations.

Unified config model - instead of separate config files for each tool (

vitest.config.ts

.oxlintrc.json

.prettierrc

), everything consolidates into

vite.config.ts

. Do not create separate config files for Oxlint, Oxfmt, Vitest, or tsdown when using Vite+.

Command surface -

vp

wraps each integrated tool behind a consistent CLI.

vp dev

and

vp build

run standard Vite.

vp test

runs Vitest (single-run by default, unlike standalone Vitest which defaults to watch).

vp check

runs fmt + lint + typecheck in one pass using Oxfmt, Oxlint, and tsgolint.

Environment management - Vite+ manages Node.js installations in

~/.vite-plus

. In managed mode (default), shims always use the Vite+-managed Node.js. Use

vp env off

to switch to system-first mode. Pin project versions with

vp env pin

which writes a

.node-version

file.

Common tasks

Scaffold a new project

bash

# Interactive
vp create

# Built-in templates: vite:application, vite:library, vite:monorepo, vite:generator
vp create vite:library --directory my-lib

# Third-party templates
vp create next-app
vp create @tanstack/start

# Pass template-specific options after --
vp create vite -- --template react-ts

Run dev server and build

bash

vp dev          # Start Vite dev server with HMR
vp build        # Production build via Rolldown
vp preview      # Serve production build locally
vp build --watch --sourcemap  # Watch mode with source maps

vp build
always runs the built-in Vite build. If your
package.json
has a custom
build
script, use
vp run build
instead.

Lint, format, and type-check

bash

vp check        # Format + lint + type-check in one pass
vp check --fix  # Auto-fix formatting and lint issues

vp lint         # Lint only (Oxlint)
vp lint --fix   # Lint with auto-fix
vp fmt          # Format only (Oxfmt)
vp fmt --check  # Check formatting without writing

Enable type-aware linting in config:

typescript

export default defineConfig({
  lint: {
    ignorePatterns: ['dist/**'],
    options: {
      typeAware: true,
      typeCheck: true,
    },
  },
  fmt: {
    singleQuote: true,
  },
});

Run tests

bash

vp test              # Single test run (NOT watch mode by default)
vp test watch        # Enter watch mode
vp test run --coverage  # With coverage report

typescript

export default defineConfig({
  test: {
    include: ['src/**/*.test.ts'],
    coverage: {
      reporter: ['text', 'html'],
    },
  },
});

Unlike standalone Vitest,
vp test
defaults to single-run mode.

Package a library

bash

vp pack                        # Build library
vp pack src/index.ts --dts     # Specific entry with TypeScript declarations
vp pack --watch                # Watch mode

typescript

export default defineConfig({
  pack: {
    dts: true,
    format: ['esm', 'cjs'],
    sourcemap: true,
  },
});

The

exe

option builds standalone executables for CLI tools.

Execute monorepo tasks

bash

vp run build             # Run build script in current package
vp run build -r          # Run across all workspace packages (dependency order)
vp run build -t          # Run in package + all its dependencies
vp run build --filter "my-app"  # Filter by package name
vp run build -v          # Verbose with cache stats

typescript

export default defineConfig({
  run: {
    tasks: {
      ci: {
        command: 'vp check && vp test && vp build',
        dependsOn: [],
        cache: true,
        env: ['CI', 'NODE_ENV'],
      },
    },
  },
});

Tasks in
vite.config.ts
are cached by default. Package.json scripts are not - use
--cache
to enable.

Manage Node.js versions

bash

vp env pin 22            # Pin project to Node 22 (.node-version)
vp env default 22        # Set global default
vp env install 22        # Install a Node.js version
vp env current           # Show resolved environment
vp env on / vp env off   # Toggle managed vs system-first mode
vp env doctor            # Run diagnostics

Error handling

Error	Cause	Resolution
`vp: command not found`	Vite+ not installed or shell not reloaded	Run the install script and restart terminal, or run `vp env print` and add the output to shell config
`vp build` runs custom script instead of Vite build	`package.json` has a `build` script	Use `vp build` for Vite build, `vp run build` for the package.json script
Type-aware lint rules not working	`typeAware` / `typeCheck` not enabled	Set `lint.options.typeAware: true` and `lint.options.typeCheck: true` in config
`vp test` stays in watch mode	Standalone Vitest habit	`vp test` is single-run by default; use `vp test watch` for watch mode
Migration leaves broken imports	Incomplete `vp migrate`	Run `vp install` , then `vp check` to catch remaining import issues

Gotchas

vp build
and
vp run build
are different commands -
```
vp build
```
always invokes the built-in Vite build regardless of
```
package.json
```
scripts.
```
vp run build
```
executes the
```
build
```
script in
```
package.json
```
. If your project has a custom
```
build
```
script that wraps Vite with additional steps, use
```
vp run build
```
. Using
```
vp build
```
will skip those steps silently.
Separate config files for Vitest/Oxlint/Oxfmt will conflict with Vite+ config - Vite+ reads all tool configuration exclusively from
```
vite.config.ts
```
. If a
```
vitest.config.ts
```
,
```
.oxlintrc.json
```
, or
```
.prettierrc
```
exists alongside it, the behavior is undefined and tools may use conflicting settings. Remove separate configs entirely when migrating to Vite+.
vp test
is single-run by default, unlike standalone Vitest - Developers migrating from standalone Vitest expect watch mode. Running
```
vp test
```
in CI is correct; running it locally for development requires
```
vp test watch
```
. This is the opposite of Vitest's default behavior.
vp migrate
does not update import paths for tool-specific APIs - The migration command handles config consolidation but does not rewrite imports like
```
import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config'
```
to
```
import { defineConfig } from 'vite-plus'
```
. Remaining broken imports will surface as type errors after migration; run
```
vp check
```
to find them.
Node.js managed mode intercepts all
node
calls, including CI scripts - In managed mode (default), the Vite+ shim is at the front of PATH. CI environments with pre-installed Node.js may behave unexpectedly. Run
```
vp env doctor
```
to verify the resolved environment and use
```
vp env off
```
to switch to system-first mode in CI if needed.
