Vite+

Creating a Project ​

vp create interactively scaffolds new Vite+ projects, monorepos, and apps inside existing workspaces.

Overview ​

The create command is the fastest way to start with Vite+. It can be used in a few different ways:

  • Start a new Vite+ monorepo
  • Create a new standalone application or library
  • Add a new app or library inside an existing project

This command can be used with built-in templates, community templates, or remote GitHub templates.

Usage ​

bash
vp create
vp create <template>
vp create <template> -- <template-options>

Built-in Templates ​

Vite+ ships with these built-in templates:

  • vite:monorepo creates a new monorepo
  • vite:application creates a new application
  • vite:library creates a new library
  • vite:generator creates a new generator

Template Sources ​

vp create is not limited to the built-in templates.

  • Use shorthand templates like vite, @tanstack/start, next-app, nuxt, react-router, and vue
  • Use full package names like create-vite or create-next-app
  • Use local templates such as ./tools/create-ui-component or @acme/generator-*
  • Use remote templates such as github:user/repo or https://github.com/user/template-repo

Run vp create --list to see the built-in templates and the common shorthand templates Vite+ recognizes.

Options ​

  • --directory <dir> writes the generated project into a specific target directory
  • --agent <name> creates agent instructions files during scaffolding
  • --editor <name> writes editor config files
  • --hooks enables pre-commit hook setup
  • --no-hooks skips hook setup
  • --no-interactive runs without prompts
  • --verbose shows detailed scaffolding output
  • --list prints the available built-in and popular templates

Template Options ​

Arguments after -- are passed directly to the selected template.

This matters when the template itself accepts flags. For example, you can forward Vite template selection like this:

bash
vp create vite -- --template react-ts
