What is the difference between Create React App and Vite ?

Are you new to React and feeling overwhelmed by all the tools available? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

Let’s start with two of the most important tools out there: create react app (CRA) and yarn.

If you’re not sure which one is right for you, here’s a quick overview:

Create React App (CRA) is like your little helper who gets your React projects set up for you.

Yarn, on the other hand, is like your little organizer that takes care of all your project’s extra stuff.

In this blog post, we’ll compare CRA and yarn so you’ll know which one is better for you!

Whether you’re just getting started with React or you’ve been using React for years, knowing about CRA and yarn will make life easier.

So, let’s dive in and find out more about these two tools in simple terms!

Create React App

CRA is a React development device advanced through Facebook to help you quickly install your new React project. It gives a pre-built environment for React improvement that includes webpack and Babel configuration, so you don’t have to worry about configuring them yourself.

Vite

Vite (French word for "quick") is one of the newer build tools created by Evan You who is also the creator of vue.js. Vite supports React as well. Vite differs from CRA in that it is designed for speed and efficiency, especially during the development phase.
