Migrate away from CRA and CRACO towards a supported framework

[bodobraegger]

Or configure react ourselves

CRA support was officially dropped as of 2023.

How much work is it to configure react by ourselves compared of using another framework?
As much standardization as possible is preferred.

I will evaluate this briefly before deciding for which way to go.

Ejecting and configuring ourselves will not be a lot of work but might cause complications later on, whereas using a framework will be more work upfront but require less maintenance.

Perhaps @jimmylevell could inquire with a react expert?

Thanks!

@diegosteiner : do you have experience or insight within this topic?

The goal is to replace react-scripts (based on: https://dev.to/ag2byte/create-react-app-is-officially-dead-h7o) either with

• next.js
• or "plain" react
• vite (reference project: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-search-openai-demo/tree/main/app/frontend)
• other alternatives

@broesmel : feel free to provide additional insights to the topic.
