Vite to Next.js App Router Migration

Migrate your Vite React app to Next.js App Router automatically. Get SSR, file-based routing, and Server Components — delivered as GitHub pull requests.

Continuous sync is our vision; today you run conversions from the dashboard whenever you're ready.

What is Vite to Next.js App Router migration?

Vite is a fast, modern build tool for React apps. But when you're ready to ship to production with SSR, SEO, and API routes, Next.js App Router is the industry standard.

AppHandoff automates the migration. Connect your Vite project, and you'll get a Next.js pull request with:

File-based routing from Vite SPA structure
SSR-ready components and layouts
Server Actions and API routes scaffolding
Quality checks (lint, typecheck, build)
Readiness reports with migration status
Preserves your custom Next.js code

From Vite to Next.js App Router

See how AppHandoff translates Vite patterns to Next.js conventions:

Vite
react-router-dom with <BrowserRouter>
Next.js App Router
File-based routing with app/ directory
Vite
Client-side only rendering
Next.js App Router
Server-side rendering + streaming
Vite
Manual data fetching with useEffect
Next.js App Router
Server Components + async data loading
Vite
Separate API backend
Next.js App Router
Built-in API routes and Server Actions

Who is this for?

Startups who built fast with Vite and now need SSR, SEO, and production-grade routing for growth.

Agencies delivering client projects — migrate Vite prototypes to Next.js without manual rewriting.

Teams who want the benefits of Next.js (streaming, Server Components, built-in API routes) without abandoning their Vite workflow.

How does it work?

Automated Migration

Convert your Vite + React Router setup to Next.js App Router conventions — no manual rewriting required.

Safe Incremental Updates

Guardrails protect your hand-written server code, API routes, and tests. Only UI layers are synced.

PR-First Workflow

Every migration step opens a GitHub pull request with diffs, CI checks, and a readiness report — you stay in control.

Frequently asked questions

How does Vite to Next.js App Router migration work?

AppHandoff analyzes your Vite project structure, identifies routes and components, then converts them to Next.js App Router conventions. You get a pull request with the migrated code and a readiness report showing what converted successfully.

Will it break my existing Vite app?

No. AppHandoff creates a separate Next.js codebase (or updates an existing one via PR). Your Vite project stays untouched. You review and merge the Next.js code when ready.

What if I already have some Next.js code?

AppHandoff's guardrails detect production-owned code (auth, API routes, server actions, tests) and will not overwrite it. Only UI layers are updated, keeping your manual Next.js work safe.

Can I still use Vite after migration?

Yes. AppHandoff is designed for teams that want to keep prototyping in Vite (or Lovable, which uses Vite) while deploying to Next.js. Continuous sync is our vision — run conversions whenever you're ready to update production.
