Migrating from Create React App (CRA) to Vite can significantly improve build times and offer additional features.
Key improvements with the switch from CRA to Vite include faster dev server startup, improved Hot Module Replacement, reduced production build times, and smaller bundle sizes.
Migration steps include preparing the project, updating dependencies, configuring Vite, handling environment variables, updating package scripts, and moving index.html. Common challenges include JSX in .js files, absolute imports, and SVG support.
Before committing, it is recommended to check the development server, Hot Module Replacement, environment variables, build process, import paths, SVG and asset loading, and CSS modules.
