Proposal: Replace create-react-app with Vite for Improved UI Development and DX

[thienandangthanh]

I am writing to propose a change in our development process that I believe will significantly improve our UI development speed and developer experience (DX). Specifically, I suggest that we replace create-react-app with Vite.

Vite offers several advantages over create-react-app:

• Faster Development: Vite offers a faster development server start-up and updates the modules instantly when you make changes.
• Improved DX: Vite has features like out-of-the-box support for TypeScript, JSX, CSS pre-processors, and more.
• Optimized Builds: Vite uses Rollup for its production builds, which results in smaller and faster-to-load bundles.
• Migrating from create-react-app to Vite is a straightforward process. Here are guides that outlines the steps involved.

  • https://blog.logrocket.com/vite-3-vs-create-react-app-comparison-migration-guide

I am willing to work on this migration and believe that this change will greatly enhance our development process.

Thank you for considering this proposal.
