Automagically Migrate your CRA to Vite
If you are using Create React App (CRA) for your React applications, you may have heard of Vite, the new build tool for modern web development. Vite promises to provide a faster and more efficient development experience for React developers, and many are considering migrating their projects from CRA to Vite.
Luckily, there is a tool called vite-cra-migrate that can help you automagically migrate your CRA project to Vite with minimal effort. This tool analyzes your CRA project and converts it to a Vite project by updating the necessary configuration files and dependencies.
Here are the steps to automagically migrate your CRA project to Vite using vite-cra-migrate:
- Install
vite-cra-migrateas a global package using npm or yarn:npm install -g vite-cra-migrate # or yarn global add vite-cra-migrate - Navigate to your CRA project directory in the terminal and run the following command:
vite-cra-migrate - Follow the prompts and let the tool automatically migrate your project to Vite.
Once the migration is complete, you can start using Vite to run and build your project. Vite provides features such as hot module replacement, instant server start, and fast builds, which can significantly improve your development workflow.
It’s important to note that while vite-cra-migrate does a great job in automating the migration process, there may still be some manual adjustments required, especially if your project has custom configurations or dependencies. However, the tool takes care of the heavy lifting and makes the migration process much smoother and faster.
With Vite’s performance benefits and the ease of migration using vite-cra-migrate, it’s worth considering making the switch from CRA to Vite for your React projects. Give it a try and see how Vite can improve your development experience!
Few tips.
It is okay to have your configuration and product service in this offering.
But I think you should not embed yourselves inside other packages like @nx/react, @nx/vite, @nx/…
Another thing is you are assuming a lot of things you should ask on your cli options:
– You are assuming people would need eslint configuration
– You are assuming typescript
– You are assuming tests
There are a lot of use cases and you should again: ask.
So I would probably use your build tool if you had one or 2 packages like @nx/compiler, @nx/builder, or something that could be removed with a few configurations if needed. But instead, it is a great tool to get bloated and enforced on things I probably shouldn't.
I should have looked at YT
Can I use to migrate CRA React 16 app or does it needs the latest CRA?
Nx has been evolving. It’s looking real good.
My stack is Nx with nestjs, react, storybook and cypress — can I run all that on vite?
