I have twice missed the very valuable information in the Vite Tooling documentation because I was so focused on the Building an Addon document. This pull request provides a bridge that might help future me (and others like me) who are so overwhelmed with the task of building an addon with a fieldtype that they miss important information in Vite Tooling.

This also provides the syntax for building fieldtypes into addons, which does not seem to be present in the docs otherwise.

The "CSS and JavaScript" section on the "Building an Addon" page already links to the Vite tooling page.

Fair enough, Jason. If you all think that does the trick, I could understand that. I just know that I've missed that reference twice myself even when hunting for the solution to the "manifest not found" problem after installing a fieldtype into an addon. I just felt some focussed description of how fieldtypes are built in and the extra publish step would be helpful for others like me.
