NodeJS

For unit tests we will still be using the excellent Testing Library, but we will swap Vitest in place of Jest. Vitest promises Jest compatibility without having to duplicate a bunch of configuration to get Jest to function correctly with a Vite project.

As of this writing, Vite promises a faster and more performant developer experience over the tried-and-true Create React App template. This is my experience porting one of my vanilla projects to Vite.

I have a minor peeve, maybe it’s just me, but I really dislike random chunks of configuration cluttering up my package.json file. Project generators offered by the likes of Nest and Create React App still leverage the classic pattern of embedding third party configuration values in the package.
