CRA Alternatives for SPA
Happy Monday everyone!
I just wanted to check from some people that are likely more informed than me on this. Right now my employer has most everything built with CRA. This has for the most part not really mattered for us, but in one particular app we're needing to use libraries to sort of "crack open" the build and modify it - libraries which don't seem to really be maintained at this point. I'm going to be starting a spike to examine alternatives for us, as we're making major changes and have been given the go-ahead to modernize a few things (e.g. JS to TS, getting rid of CRA).
Unless I'm mistaken, I believe my employer would like to keep the app as a SPA, as they want it to exist in an S3 bucket without having a server (app doesn't have any need for SEO so it's been deemed unnecessary).
My go-to choice would be Vite, but my employer is using webpack for bundling everywhere, and they tend to be conservative about diversifying tools. Are there any other good tools for SPA, without using CRA and using webpack for bundling? I could set the project up manually, but I wanted to check if there's anything similar to Vite, with convenient and sane defaults for the build, but which uses Webpack instead.
