Question 1

Is antd-init still supported?

Accepted Answer

No, antd-init is deprecated and no longer supported. The Ant Design team recommends using create-umi for all new projects, as it offers a more robust and feature-rich framework.

Question 2

How to migrate from antd-init to a production-ready setup?

Accepted Answer

Start by creating a new project with create-umi, then manually transfer your components and configurations. Since antd-init is demo-only, a thorough review and adaptation to umi's structure might be needed, especially for routing and plugins.

Question 3

antd-init or create-umi: which is better for learning Ant Design?

Accepted Answer

For pure learning and quick demos, antd-init is faster and simpler. However, for a more comprehensive learning experience that translates to real projects, create-umi is better as it introduces industry-standard practices and features.

Question 4

Can I customize an antd-init project beyond the demo?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it's limited. You can modify the generated code, but since the tool is deprecated and basic, complex customizations might be cumbersome, and it's not designed for scalability or advanced configurations.

Question 5

Why was antd-init deprecated in favor of create-umi?

Accepted Answer

antd-init was deprecated because umi provides a more complete solution with routing, plugins, and better scalability for enterprise applications. The shift allows the team to focus on a single, more powerful tool that meets diverse development needs.

Question 6

What are the build options in antd-init?

Accepted Answer

antd-init includes basic npm scripts: 'npm start' to run a development server and 'npm run build' to create production bundles. However, these are minimal and lack the optimizations and flexibility found in modern frameworks like umi.
