[Key Takeaways](#key-takeaways) Laravel Starter Kits Switch to Vite+ ------------------------------------ As of August 28, 2026, every Laravel starter kit ships with [Vite+](https://viteplus.dev/), the unified frontend toolchain that entered beta on July 2, 2026. Taylor Otwell announced the change on X, and the work landed in [laravel/maestro#60](https://github.com/laravel/maestro/pull/60), contributed by Wendell Adriel. Maestro then synced the update across the React, Vue, Svelte, and Livewire repositories on the same day, pinning `vite-plus` at `0.3.0`. Vite+ is a single CLI called `vp` that wraps Vite, Rolldown, Vitest, tsdown, Oxlint, Oxfmt, and Vite Task, and also manages your runtime and package manager. For Laravel developers, the most immediate effect is that **ESLint and Prettier are gone** from the frontend setup. Four Scripts Become Two ----------------------- The Inertia-based kits previously exposed four separate npm scripts — `lint`, `lint:check`, `format`, and `format:check`. These collapse into a single `vp check` command that formats with Oxfmt, lints with Oxlint, and runs a type check in one pass: ```json "scripts": { "build": "vp build", "build:ssr": "vp build && vp build --ssr", "dev": "vp dev", "check": "vp check", "check:fix": "vp check --fix", "types:check": "tsc --noEmit" } ``` `composer ci:check` follows suit, running `npm run check` where it previously chained `npm run lint:check` and `npm run format:check`. The old toolchain removal also deleted `eslint.config.js`, `.prettierrc`, and `.prettierignore` from each Inertia kit, along with roughly a dozen devDependencies including `eslint`, `typescript-eslint`, `prettier`, `prettier-plugin-tailwindcss`, and the various ESLint plugins for React, Vue, Svelte, and imports. The React kit alone shed 129 lines of ESLint configuration. Lint and Format Rules Move into vite.config.ts ---------------------------------------------- With standalone config files removed, lint and format rules now live directly in `vite.config.ts` under `lint` and `fmt` keys. Warnings are treated as failures, and type-aware linting is enabled by default: ```typescript import { defineConfig, lazyPlugins } from 'vite-plus'; export default defineConfig({ plugins: lazyPlugins(() => [ // ... ]), lint: { ignorePatterns: [ 'vendor/**', 'bootstrap/ssr/**', 'resources/js/components/ui/*', ], options: { denyWarnings: true, typeAware: true, }, }, fmt: { printWidth: 80, tabWidth: 4, singleQuote: true, semi: true, sortTailwindcss: { functions: ['clsx', 'cn', 'cva'], entryPoint: 'resources/css/app.css', }, }, }); ``` Per-Stack Changes ----------------- - **React** — Upgraded to `@vitejs/plugin-react` v6; the React Compiler now runs through `@rolldown/plugin-babel` instead of the plugin's `babel` option. - **Svelte** — Swapped `lucide-svelte` for the officially supported `@lucide/svelte` package. - **Vue** — Received the standard toolchain swap with no additional framework-specific changes noted. - **Livewire** — Smallest diff of the four (no TypeScript to lint): `dev` and `build` scripts moved to `vp`, and plugins wrapped in `lazyPlugins()`. Migrating an Existing Project ----------------------------- New applications generated from any starter kit pick up Vite+ automatically. For existing Vite projects, VoidZero provides a migration command: ```bash vp migrate ``` The official migration guide notes that complex projects may still require manual follow-up, so review it carefully before running this against production code. Key Takeaways ------------- - All Laravel starter kits now pin `vite-plus` at `0.3.0`. - ESLint, Prettier, and their config files are removed from every Inertia kit. - Four npm scripts collapse into `vp check` and `vp check --fix`. - Lint and format configuration moves into `vite.config.ts`. - Type-aware linting and warning-as-error are on by default. - Existing projects can migrate with `vp migrate`, but manual review is advised. --- *Source: [Laravel Starter Kits Now Ship with Vite+ — Laravel News](https://laravel-news.com/laravel-starter-kits-vite-plus)* - [Laravel](https://www.msaied.com/public/articles?search=Laravel) - [Vite+](https://www.msaied.com/public/articles?search=Vite%2B) - [Starter Kits](https://www.msaied.com/public/articles?search=Starter%20Kits) - [Frontend Tooling](https://www.msaied.com/public/articles?search=Frontend%20Tooling) - [Oxlint](https://www.msaied.com/public/articles?search=Oxlint) Frequently asked questions --------------------------- What does Vite+ replace in Laravel starter kits?Vite+ replaces ESLint and Prettier, along with their configuration files (eslint.config.js, .prettierrc, .prettierignore) and roughly a dozen related devDependencies. Linting is now handled by Oxlint and formatting by Oxfmt, both bundled inside the vite-plus package. How do I migrate an existing Laravel project to Vite+?VoidZero provides a migration command: run `vp migrate` in your project root. The official migration guide warns that complex projects may need manual follow-up, so read the guide at viteplus.dev before running it against production code. Which Laravel starter kit variants are affected by the Vite+ switch?All four variants — React, Vue, Svelte, and Livewire — were updated simultaneously when Maestro synced the change from laravel/maestro#60. ![Mohamed Said](https://cdn.msaied.com/01M22N44A70A5MC2S599JP0MPH.webp)About the author ---------------- [Mohamed Said](https://www.msaied.com/public#person)Senior Backend Engineer specializing in Laravel, scalable SaaS platforms, APIs, and cloud infrastructure.
