react-scripts 4 on React 17 no longer builds on a current toolchain.
Move to Vite 8 with React 19 and TypeScript 7, and take the same shape
as the other converted sites.
- react-router-dom v5 -> react-router v8: Switch/Redirect become
Routes/Navigate, and withRouter gives way to useLocation and
useNavigate; the original /modules/... addresses are kept
- swap the unmaintained dependencies: axios -> ky, react-html-parser
-> @orrisroot/react-html-parser, react-ga -> react-ga4,
react-helmet -> @dr.pogodin/react-helmet, moment -> date-fns,
react-spinner-material -> a CSS spinner, and a local HashLink in
place of react-router-hash-link
- drop react-app-polyfill, the jest setup, xregexp and the unused
async-lock, rc-tree, react-overlays and react-image-lightbox
- replace ESLint with Biome, yarn with npm, and match the other sites'
tsconfigs and sanitize.css base stylesheet
- serve static-contents/ next to the repository with sirv in the dev
and preview servers, keeping it out of dist/
- convert the page components to function components; each module
loads its index once, sharing the request under StrictMode
- resolve relative links in page bodies the way a browser does, since
react-router 8 resolves them against the route hierarchy
- fix the glossary search restricted to a category, whose query
matched nothing
- set the GA4 measurement ID replacing the shut-down UA property
- correct the keywords meta tag copied from dynamicbrain
- write down the data layout and the deployment procedure
