Vite+: The Unified Toolchain That Replaces Your Entire Frontend Setup

Introduction
If you've been juggling Node version managers, package managers, linters, formatters, test runners, and build tools — you're not alone. The JavaScript tooling landscape has gotten out of hand.
Vite+ aims to fix that. Created by VoidZero — the team behind Vite, Vitest, Oxc, and Rolldown — it unifies your entire development workflow into a single CLI tool called vp.
Vite+ ships in two parts: vp, the global command-line tool, and vite-plus, the local package installed in each project.
What Is Vite+?
Vite+ is the unified toolchain and entry point for web development. It manages your runtime, package manager, and frontend stack by combining:
- Vite — dev server and builds
- Vitest — testing
- Oxlint — linting
- Oxfmt — formatting
- Rolldown — bundling
- tsdown — library packaging
- Vite Task — monorepo task orchestration
⚡ Rust-Powered Performance
With low-level components written in Rust, Vite+ delivers up to 40x faster builds than Webpack, ~50–100x faster linting than ESLint, and ~30x faster formatting than Prettier.
Getting Started
Installation#
macOS / Linux:
curl -fsSL https://vite.plus | bash
Windows (PowerShell):
irm https://vite.plus/ps1 | iex
Open a new terminal session and verify:
vp help
Create a New Project#
vp create my-app
Vite+ supports every framework built on Vite — React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, and 20+ more.
Core Commands
Vite+ handles the entire local frontend development cycle. Here's the workflow:
vp create # Scaffold a new project
vp install # Install dependencies (auto-detects pnpm/npm/yarn)
vp dev # Start the dev server
vp check # Format, lint, and type-check in one pass
vp test # Run tests with Vitest
vp build # Build for production
You can also run vp on its own for an interactive command picker.
Why This Matters#
Instead of configuring nvm, npm, vitest, eslint, prettier, and build scripts separately, vp handles all of it with a consistent interface across every project.
Format, Lint, and Type-Check with vp check
One command runs all three — powered by Oxc under the hood:
- Prettier-compatible formatting via Oxfmt
- 600+ ESLint-compatible rules via Oxlint
- Type-aware linting and fast type checks via
tsgo
vp check # Run all checks
vp check --fix # Auto-fix where possible
vp check runs format, lint, and type checks together in a single pass. To run them individually, use vp fmt, vp lint, or invoke tsgo directly.
Testing with vp test
Vitest is built in — no separate install or config needed. It reuses the same resolve and transform config from your application.
- Jest-compatible API
- Test isolation by default
- Browser Mode: run unit tests in actual browsers
- Coverage, snapshots, type tests, visual regression
Monorepo Task Caching with vp run
For monorepos, vp run provides automated caching and dependency-aware execution:
vp run build # Run build across workspaces with caching
vp run test # Run tests with input tracking
Tasks are cached automatically based on input files — no Turborepo config needed.
Library Packaging with vp pack
Publishing a library? vp pack handles DTS generation, bundling, and automatic package exports:
vp pack
Powered by Rolldown / tsdown, it outputs ESM, CJS, and declaration files.
Migrating an Existing Vite Project
Already have a Vite project? Migrate it with:
vp migrate
Or paste the migration prompt into your coding agent.
Deployment
Vite+ pairs with Nitro for platform-agnostic deployment. First-class support for Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Workers, and Render.
🚀 Platform Agnostic
Build once with vp build and deploy anywhere — Nitro handles the server runtime transformation.
Why Vite+?
- Stop wasting time on tooling maintenance — one CLI, one config, one workflow
- Improve cross-team mobility — consistent DX across every project
- Stay fast at scale — Rust-powered internals, enterprise-grade performance
- Supply chain security — rigorous dependency vetting across the unified toolchain
- Free and open source — MIT license, maintained by VoidZero and community contributors
Vite+ isn't reinventing the wheel — it's putting high-performance tires on it. By unifying your runtime, package manager, linter, formatter, test runner, and bundler into a single CLI, it removes the tooling tax that slows down every new project.
If Vite was the upgrade from Webpack, Vite+ is the upgrade from tool fatigue.
