Description

react-modal uses an old toolchain system for build and testing (not that the tools aren't great, but because javascript toolchain are pretty messy and not reliable as things changes all the time).

The idea is to move to a "modern" build system (probably vite as it also has compatibility with karma, but suggestions are welcome) as people apparently have move to it.
