Description

  • Description: The development server for the IEEE RVCE website made using React and bundled using Webpack takes a long time to start when running the npm start command, especially on the first run of the day. This slows down the development process and makes it difficult to iterate quickly.
Steps to reproduce:

Run the command npm start to start the development server, Observe the time taken for the server to start up.

  • Expected behavior: The development server should start up quickly, allowing us to iterate quickly and efficiently.
  • Actual behavior: The development server takes a long time to start up, which slows down the development process.
  • Possible solution: Migrate the project from Webpack to VITE.

Research direction

Start by running npm start and measuring the development server's startup time, especially on a first run. Inspect the current React and Webpack development setup, then evaluate whether migrating to Vite addresses the delay. Done means the development server starts substantially faster while preserving the existing development workflow.
