Type of problem

Issue Summary

Create React App (CRA) was officially deprecated in February 2025. Some areas of the curriculum still reference CRA as the default setup method for React projects. Since Vite is now the recommended way to initialize React apps, we should audit and update all references to CRA across tutorials, lesson plans, and resources.

Tasks to Complete

  • Identify all instances of CRA in the curriculum.
  • Replace CRA instructions with the latest Vite-based setup.
  • Update explanations and code snippets that assume a CRA file structure.
  • Ensure external links/resources reflect up-to-date recommendations.

Where to Look?

  • React setup lessons & starter project guides
  • Workshops, homework assignments, and project boilerplates
  • Any mentions of npx create-react-app my-app
  • Links to the official CRA documentation (which may become outdated)

@daaimah123 Sorry, I haven't started yet! It looks like someone already opened a PR for it, so if that closes the issue we can just take me off of it

That draft PR (#2318 by @kaylahrose) has definitely started poking at three places in the curriculum for sure.

@glassblowerscat Please let me know if you find other areas in the curriculum that warrant an additional PR, as I don't think those three areas will resolve this issue. Alternatively, if you need to be taken off the issue, no worries, but please do also let me know.

@daaimah123 I was hoping to crack it open this week, so I don't need to be taken off; thanks!
