Migrating from RedwoodJS to CedarJS

Required Steps​

  1. Search and replace all instances of "@redwoodjs/(.*)": "\d+\.\d+\.\d+" with "@cedarjs/$1": "1.1.1" in all three package.json files.
  2. Run yarn install to update your lock file.
  3. Make a git commit with all changes as a checkpoint to make it easier to see what changes in the following steps
  4. Search and replace all instances of @redwoodjs in all files with @cedarjs.
  5. Also find all mentions of storybook-framework-redwoodjs-vite and replace with storybook-framework-cedarjs
  6. Pay attention to yarn.lock. If anything changed in there you probably have to do some manual editing. (Reach out on Discord if you need help.)
  7. Delete all files and folders inside .redwood/ except README.md
  8. Run yarn install and yarn cedar build. Make sure everything works as expected.
  9. Make a new git commit (or amend the previous one you did)
  • Update web/vite.config.ts to have import { cedar } from '@cedarjs/vite' and plugins: [cedar()], instead of the older import redwood from '@redwoodjs/vite' and plugins: [redwood()],. (Notice that it's now a named import instead of a default import.)
