Vite+ Beta

TL;DR: Vite+ is now in beta. It unifies the runtime, package manager, and frontend tools every web project needs behind one fast, consistent workflow. Start a new project with vp create , or adopt it in an existing project with vp migrate . Today, we are releasing the beta of Vite+, the unified toolchain for the web. Vite+ is a single entry point to web development. It manages your runtime and package manager and brings Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, tsdown, Oxlint, and Oxfmt together with a built-in task runner — best-in-class tools shipped as one tested stack. It is fully open source under the MIT license and framework-agnostic, working for any kind of web project: from CLIs to libraries to web apps. Why Vite+? Vite showed that a tool can be both fast and provide a great developer experience when it is designed around sensible defaults. Vite+ applies the same idea to the rest of the development workflow. Instead of learning a different combination of tools and commands in every repository, developers can use a consistent workflow: vp dev — start a development server with hot module replacement, powered by Vite 8.vp check — format your code with Oxfmt, lint it with Oxlint, and type check it at once.vp test — run unit tests powered by Vitest.vp build — build your project for production, powered by Vite 8.vp pack — bundle libraries with best practices baked in, powered by tsdown.vp run — run any npm script or task through the built-in monorepo-aware task runner with intelligent caching. The benefits become more important as teams and codebases grow: - Tool versions stay aligned. - Configuration is easier to share. - New contributors have fewer setup steps. - CI runs the same commands developers use locally. Vite+ is for developers who do not want to assemble their toolchain by hand again and again, and for teams that want a consistent setup across projects without maintaining their own internal platform. But Vite+ does not replace the Vite ecosystem. Vite plugins remain Vite plugins, and projects can continue using their package manager of choice under the hood. Vite+ provides the integration layer that makes them work as one toolchain. From alpha to beta When we announced the Vite+ alpha, we asked developers to help us test it on real projects. Since then, we have released more than a dozen versions and merged over 500 pull requests. Here are selected highlights from what we shipped so far: - Smarter caching: vp run now combines automatic data tracking with metadata reported by Vite, so builds cache correctly without manually listing inputs, outputs, and environment variables. - Better migrations: vp migrate can now handle many different app setups and also provides a migration prompt for your agent. - Enterprise features: organization templates standardize setup across teams, and proxy- and custom-CA-aware HTTP lets vp run behind corporate proxies and firewalls. - Cross-platform: We've hardened vp to work better on all major operating systems and shells. - Refined and polished: We landed more than 180 fixes and improvements in vite-plus , sharpening an already solid foundation across the toolchain. Much of this progress comes from a growing, international core team that builds Vite+ in the open together with the wider community. You can follow the detailed work in the Vite+ release history. It all adds up While we worked on Vite+, the underlying tools have also continued to improve. Without them, Vite+ would not be possible. Here are some highlights from them since the Vite+ alpha: - Vite 8.1 shipped with experimental full bundle mode. - Vitest added support for ARIA snapshots. - Rolldown's 1.0 was released with a new plugin system and improved performance. - tsdown implemented CSS modules support. - Oxlint integrated native React Compiler lint rules. - Oxfmt can format Svelte code. Real-world adoption Vite+ is already being adopted beyond our expectations. More than 1,300 public repositories depend on vite-plus , not including private projects and global CLI installations. Adoption spans the ecosystem across many project types. Notable highlights are: - Dify: an open-source platform for building LLM apps. - critical: Addy Osmani's framework-agnostic critical-path CSS tool. - BlockNote: a block-based, Notion-style rich text editor for React. - vinext: a drop-in Next.js-compatible framework built on Vite. - zerobyte: backup automation for self-hosters, built with TanStack and React. - îles: a partial-hydration islands site generator for Vue. - agentsview: local-first session search and analytics for coding agents, built with Svelte. - Inkline: a UI component library that ships across Vue, React, Svelte, Angular, Solid, Qwik, and Astro. - npmx: an open-source npm registry browser built on Nuxt. At npmx, we care about every millisecond of performance — in runtime, and in development. Vite+ makes life better for our community by keeping the development experience fast, as well as speeding up CI and the process of review. — Daniel Roe, npmx Road to 1.0 Vite+ is stable, but not yet complete. We recommend adopting Vite+ if it covers the features you are looking for in a unified toolchain, and we'll add more features as we work towards Vite+ 1.0. On the way there, we'll focus on: - Implementing Remote Caching for vp run (Vite Task) - Introducing setup-vp for GitLab CI/CD - Improving compatibility across Vite frameworks and plugins - Supporting more migration targets - Adding distribution channels, such as an official Homebrew formula - Making documentation and diagnostics more clear Additionally, we'll prioritize feedback from the community to fix any remaining compatibility gaps before releasing a 1.0. Give Vite+ beta a try Install the global vp command: curl -fsSL https://vite.plus | bash irm https://vite.plus/ps1 | iex Then create a new project: vp create Or try Vite+ in an existing Vite project: vp migrate Important: The migration command shows what it plans to change, but complex projects may still need manual follow-up. Read the migration guide before adopting Vite+ in a production project. We are especially interested in feedback from developers migrating existing projects, framework and plugin authors, and teams maintaining large repositories. - Documentation: viteplus.dev - Discord: Join the VoidZero community - GitHub: Report issues and contribute - X & Bluesky: Follow @voidzerodev and voidzero.dev for ecosystem updates Thank you to everyone who tested the alpha, reported issues, and contributed to the project.
