Migrate from CRA to vite

[lakshz]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

CRA has become outdated with time and we would like migrate to Vite for the following reasons:

• Faster build time. Hence, a better development experience
• Optimized production builds
• More compliant with modern/best practices
• Vite actively maintained on github unlike CRA
• The number of weekly downloads of Vite is very large as compared to CRA

Describe the solution you'd like
Many articles on the internet show steps about the migration. Reference

• Most of the packages should be compatible with Vite but some specific packages/scenarios, might require additional configuration to work with Vite. Make sure this is done.
• Make sure we don't unintentionally change any extra configuration, other than switching to Vite. This can create future issues.
• Make sure that any script configuration files are placed in a sub-directory of scripts/

Approach to be followed (optional)
A clear and concise description of approach to be followed.

@lakshz Our policy is to assign no more than two issues to each contributor across all repositories. This way everyone gets a chance to participate in the projects. We sometimes give exceptions for more urgent cases and sometimes we lose track, but the policy stands. You have reached your limit, please wait until your existing issues are closed before requesting more issues. You could unassign yourself from one of the other issues too.

@meetulr Are you still working on this?

[meetulr]

I'm sorry about this😓, I wasn't able to do anything recently due to unforeseen circumstances. I'm finally free after today. I will actively work on it throughout this week.

I totally understand if someone else wants to take this, as my limit is over😅. Otherwise, I'll be resuming the work.

[meetulr]

Working😅, will provide a final update if I'm unable to complete it by the end of the week.

Update: I'm sry about this😓. I kept getting tangled up in things, thinking I would have time soon to complete this... but I couldn't, now its gsoc time and I have to focus on my project.

I would love to have the opportunity to take it up again If this remains unaddressed after a while and if I'm sure that I have time for this.
I'll unassign myself for now as I've taken enough time. Sry for the inconvenience again😔.
