Vite+

Getting Started ​

Overview ​

Vite+ is a unified toolchain for modern web development that extends Vite with powerful monorepo capabilities. It combines:

  • Dev Server: Vite's blazing-fast development experience with native ES modules and instant HMR
  • Build Tool: Optimized production builds powered by Rolldown
  • Task Runner: Intelligent monorepo task execution with caching and dependency resolution
  • Testing: Built-in test runner with workspace support
  • Linting: Integrated oxlint for fast code quality checks
  • Formatting: Integrated oxfmt for consistent code formatting
  • Code Generation: Scaffolding for new projects and monorepo workspaces
  • Dependency Management: Integrated dependency management with pnpm, yarn, npm and bun(coming soon)

All in a single, cohesive tool designed for scale, speed, and developer sanity.

Installation ​

Global CLI ​

bash
npm install -g vite-plus-cli

Scaffolding Your First Vite+ Project ​

Create a Vite+ project:

bash
vite new

Follow the prompts to select your preferred framework and configuration.

Core Commands ​

Vite+ provides built-in commands that work seamlessly in both single-package and monorepo setups:

bash
# Development
vite dev              # Start dev server

# Build
vite build            # Build for production

# Test
vite test             # Run tests

# Lint
vite lint             # Lint code with oxlint

Monorepo Task Execution ​

Vite+ includes a powerful task runner for managing tasks across monorepo packages:

Run tasks recursively ​

bash
vite run build -r              # Build all packages with topological ordering
vite run test -r               # Test all packages

Run tasks for specific packages ​

bash
vite run app#build web#build   # Build specific packages
vite run @scope/*#test         # Test all packages matching pattern

Current package ​

bash
vite dev                       # Run dev script in current package

Task Dependencies ​

Tasks automatically respect dependencies:

  1. Explicit dependencies - Defined in vite-task.json:
json
{
  "tasks": {
    "test": {
      "command": "jest",
      "dependsOn": ["build", "lint"]
    }
  }
}
  1. Implicit dependencies - Based on package.json relationships when using --topological (default for -r):
    • If package A depends on package B, then A#build automatically depends on B#build

Disable topological ordering:

bash
vite run build -r --no-topological

Intelligent Caching ​

Vite+ caches task outputs to speed up repeated builds:

  • Automatically detects when inputs change
  • Skips tasks when outputs are cached
  • Shares cache across team members (when configured)

View cache operations:

bash
vite run build -r --debug
