Migrating from Vite + React to Next.js can be challenging due to differences in frameworks and requirements like SSR and SEO.
The manual migration process involves replacing react-router with App Router, restructuring file organization, and handling hooks and server-side rendering.
To address the difficulties in migration, a developer created ViteToNext.AI, an automated tool that scans Vite + React projects, detects routes, components, and APIs, and generates a structured Next.js project with a user-friendly UI.
The tool simplifies the migration process by handling route transformations, component logic preservation, layout and shared component migration, and ensuring a valid app/pages structure.
