Docs(Start): remove target from hosting docs

[nlynzaad]

This removes reference to the target property from the hosting docs as this is now defined through vite plugins

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Revised React hosting guide to clarify deployment flow after selecting a target.
  • Reorganized hosting providers list; added options like Nitro and Node.js server, and aligned Cloudflare to Workers.
  • Updated instructions to favor generalized or plugin-based setup over target-specific directives.

Walkthrough

The React hosting documentation was revised to reword deployment guidance, reorganize hosting targets, and update provider-specific instructions (e.g., Cloudflare Workers, Bun) to favor plugin-based or generalized Vite configuration steps over target-specific directives.

Poem

A rabbit taps keys with fleet little thumps,
Shuffles the clouds, tidies up bumps.
Targets no more—just plugins to steer,
Vite in the headlights, the pathway clear.
Hippity-hop, deploy without fright—
Docs now point true by dawn’s soft light. 🐇✨

docs/start/framework/react/hosting.md (4)

19-19: LGTM! Clear documentation improvement.

The updated text effectively emphasizes following the deployment guidelines rather than configuring a specific target value, which aligns with the plugin-based approach mentioned in the PR objectives.

---

21-28: LGTM! Updated hosting provider list reflects current architecture.

The changes correctly replace the old target-based configuration with the plugin-based approach that TanStack Start now uses. The reorganization from Cloudflare Pages to Cloudflare Workers and the addition of more deployment targets (Nitro, Node.js server, Bun) provides better coverage of supported platforms.

---

46-46: LGTM! Plugin-based configuration is the correct approach.

The change from "Set the target value to cloudflare-module" to "Add the cloudflare plugin to your vite.config.ts" correctly reflects the new plugin-based configuration approach that TanStack Start now uses instead of the deprecated target property.

---

208-208: LGTM! Generic configuration guidance aligns with new architecture.

The change from "Set the target value to bun" to "Ensure your vite.config.ts is correct" follows the same pattern of removing target-specific directives in favor of generalized configuration guidance, which is consistent with the overall migration away from the target property approach.

Tip

👮 Agentic pre-merge checks are now available in preview!

Pro plan users can now enable pre-merge checks in their settings to enforce checklists before merging PRs.

• Built-in checks – Quickly apply ready-made checks to enforce title conventions, require pull request descriptions that follow templates, validate linked issues for compliance, and more.
• Custom agentic checks – Define your own rules using CodeRabbit’s advanced agentic capabilities to enforce organization-specific policies and workflows. For example, you can instruct CodeRabbit’s agent to verify that API documentation is updated whenever API schema files are modified in a PR. Note: Upto 5 custom checks are currently allowed during the preview period. Pricing for this feature will be announced in a few weeks.

Please see the documentation for more information.

Example:

reviews:
  pre_merge_checks:
    custom_checks:
      - name: "Undocumented Breaking Changes"
        mode: "warning"
        instructions: |
          Pass/fail criteria: All breaking changes to public APIs, CLI flags, environment variables, configuration keys, database schemas, or HTTP/GraphQL endpoints must be documented in the "Breaking Change" section of the PR description and in CHANGELOG.md. Exclude purely internal or private changes (e.g., code not exported from package entry points or explicitly marked as internal).

Please share your feedback with us on this Discord post.
