Refine v3 (CRA) compatibility with Refine v4 (Vite)
I'm new to Refine, following a JavaScript Mastery course to learn the ropes, on setting up I discovered that CRA is now deprecated and unable to work with v4, and after trying to set up v3 and was met with a barrage of errors that I was unable to get to the root of, possibly because of the deprecated nature of CRA. I went with v4 and Vite instead because I figured it was the next best thing. But the setup and the file structure was so different that I couldn't go about customising the elements like sider and am now stuck.
