Next Lovable features

  • CLI migration. Converts a Lovable React + Vite project to a Next.js 15 codebase in seconds, preserving Tailwind and Radix setup.
  • Local processing. All code transformations run locally; no source code is uploaded to any server.
  • Routing conversion. Automatically maps React Router (including nested and dynamic routes) to Next.js App Router structures.
  • Dependency handling. Analyzes package.json, updates to Next.js-compatible versions, and installs required packages automatically.
  • Supabase edge-function support. Copies supabase/functions folder 1:1, keeping existing edge functions functional after migration.
  • Dry-run flag. `--dry-run` simulates the migration without writing files, letting users preview changes and credit usage.
