How to Migrate from Vue CLI to Vite
summary
Migrates a Vue CLI project by deleting Vue CLI deps like @vue/cli-service and Babel, installing Vite and the appropriate plugin (npm init vite@latest then @vitejs/plugin-vue or vite-plugin-vue2), moving public/index.html to project root, switching env access from process.env to import.meta.env, adding .vue imports or configuring resolve to avoid them (add .vue extensions), removing webpack-only magic comments, and relying on esbuild + native ES modules for millisecond dev starts and near-instant HMR.
