I saw Vite but not sure how easy it is to switch to that from an existing project.

I think most around here currently recommend Vite for a quick up and running SPA. If you'd like some tooling already set up, you can check out some of the community made templates at awesome vite.

It is super easy to get started with Vite and there is really no hard learning curve either. If you want to learn more about all the awesome things Vite can do, Check out this repo.

Vite has templates and plugins that you can install as project dependencies or use them. You can find a list of that and more here.

If you want to use svg with React components, install vite-plugin-svgr.

We need vite-plugin-svgr in order to import SVGs as React components. For example:

If you're using Vite, then maybe try one of these: - https://github.com/pd4d10/vite-plugin-svgr - https://github.com/vbenjs/vite-plugin-svg-icons

Instead of webpack svgr - vite has a community plugin vite-plugin-svgr. Looking at its source code I can tell that it does the work as needed. In the future, I may want to add more SVGR options (currently for custom colors we use css currentColor property), so I may contribute it or create a similar plugin. NOTE: vite bundles the static svg in addition to assets even if you use vite-plugin-svgr. So many useless files will be generated. This is a minor issue that can be unnoticeable. I created a script for deleting those files (it has 0 impacts on the bundle because the client does not download those chunks).
