🔄 Migration Steps

Step 1: Move Files (Pick One)

Option A - PowerShell Script:

.\migrate-files.ps1

Option B - Manual:

move App.tsx src\
move components src\
move utils src\
move styles src\

Step 2: Install Dependencies

npm install

This installs ~50 packages (takes 2-3 minutes).

Step 3: Update Imports in src/App.tsx

Find and Replace in App.tsx:

1. Change all component imports:

// OLD
import { Layout } from './components/Layout';
import { Dashboard } from './components/Dashboard';
// ... all other component imports

// NEW
import { Layout } from '@/components/Layout';
import { Dashboard } from '@/components/Dashboard';
// ... use @/ for all imports

2. Fix sonner import:

// OLD
import { toast } from 'sonner@2.0.3';

// NEW
import { toast } from 'sonner';

Step 4: Update Component Files

In all files under src/components/, change relative imports:

// OLD in any component file
import { Button } from './ui/button';
import { Card } from '../ui/card';

// NEW
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';
import { Card } from '@/components/ui/card';

Step 5: Start Development Server

npm run dev

Visit: http://localhost:3000

🛠️ Available Commands

# Development
npm run dev              # Start dev server (port 3000)

# Build
npm run build            # Build for production
npm run preview          # Preview production build

# Code Quality
npm run lint             # Check for errors
npm run lint:fix         # Auto-fix errors
npm run format           # Format with Prettier
npm run type-check       # Check TypeScript types

---

✨ New Features You Get

1. Path Aliases - Cleaner Imports

// Before
import { Button } from '../../../components/ui/button';

// After
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';

2. TypeScript Types - Better IntelliSense

import type { Request, DealerInfo } from '@/types';

const request: Request = { /* auto-complete works! */ };

3. Code Quality - Auto-fix on Save

• ESLint catches bugs
• Prettier formats code
• TypeScript ensures type safety

4. Fast Development

• Hot Module Replacement (HMR)
• Instant updates on file save
• Optimized build with code splitting

---

🆘 Common Issues & Fixes

Issue 1: "Cannot find module '@/...'"

Fix:

# Restart TypeScript server
# In VS Code: Ctrl+Shift+P → "TypeScript: Restart TS Server"

Issue 2: "Module not found: sonner@2.0.3"

Fix in src/App.tsx:

// Change this:
import { toast } from 'sonner@2.0.3';

// To this:
import { toast } from 'sonner';

Issue 3: Tailwind classes not working

Fix:

1. Ensure src/main.tsx has: import './styles/globals.css';
2. Restart dev server: Ctrl+C then npm run dev

Issue 4: Build fails

Fix:

npm run type-check   # See what TypeScript errors exist
npm run lint         # See what ESLint errors exist
