  "account": "In this chapter, we explore what developing a real project with Vite+ looks like. We create a project, start the development server, run checks and tests, and finally create a production build.\n\n1. Installing Vite+ provides a vp command-line interface that serves as the main doorway into your JavaScript project. You can check the installed version by running `vp --version`.\n\n2. To create a new Vite+ project, use the `vp create` command. The tool ships with built-in templates, such as `vp vite:monorepo`, `vp vite:application`, and `vp vite:library`. Move into the newly created project directory with `cd my-project`.\n\n3. Installing dependencies is streamlined with the `vp install` command. Vite+ works with various package managers and automatically detects the package-manager setup used by the project.\n\n4. Starting the development server is as simple as running `vp dev`. This uses Vite's development server, providing a fast development experience with hot module updates.\n\n5. Before committing your code, you can check it using `vp check`. This command integrates formatting, linting, and type checking into a single workflow, eliminating the need to remember multiple commands for each step.\n\n6. Running tests is also simplified with `vp test`. Vite+ runs the tests through Vitest, making the development, checking, and testing workflows consistent across the project.\n\n7. When your application is ready for production, you can build it using `vp build`. This command builds the application for production using Vite and Rolldown, optimizing the output for deployment.\n\n8. After building, you can preview the production build with `vp preview`. This lets you check the production version locally before deploying it to a live environment.\n\nIn summary, the basic Vite+ workflow consists of the following commands:\n- Create a project: `vp create`\n- Install dependencies: `vp install`\n- Start development: `vp dev`\n- Check code: `vp check`\n- Run tests: `vp test`\n- Build for production: `vp build`\n- Preview production build: `vp preview`\n\nBy providing a consistent command interface for these tasks, Vite+ simplifies the development process and eliminates the need for developers to remember multiple commands for each step of the workflow.",

We saw that Vite+ brings together tools such as: Vite Vitest Rolldown tsdown Oxlint Oxfmt Vite Task But knowing what these tools are is only half the story. The more interesting question is: What does developing a real project with Vite+ actually look like? That's what we'll explore in this chapter. We'll create a project, start the…",
