+# React + TypeScript + Vite
+
+This template provides a minimal setup to get React working in Vite with HMR and some ESLint rules.
+
+Currently, two official plugins are available:
+
+- [@vitejs/plugin-react](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/blob/main/packages/plugin-react) uses [Babel](https://babeljs.io/) (or [oxc](https://oxc.rs) when used in [rolldown-vite](https://vite.dev/guide/rolldown)) for Fast Refresh
+- [@vitejs/plugin-react-swc](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/blob/main/packages/plugin-react-swc) uses [SWC](https://swc.rs/) for Fast Refresh
+
+## React Compiler
+
+The React Compiler is enabled on this template. See [this documentation](https://react.dev/learn/react-compiler) for more information.
+
+Note: This will impact Vite dev & build performances.
+
+Additionally, you may want to switch linting to ESLint to use [lint rules powered by the React Compiler](https://react.dev/reference/eslint-plugin-react-hooks).
