Below is a list of all new features, APIs, deprecations, and breaking changes. Read React 18 release post and React 18 upgrade guide for more information.

New Features

React

• useId is a new hook for generating unique IDs on both the client and server, while avoiding hydration mismatches. It is primarily useful for component libraries integrating with accessibility APIs that require unique IDs. This solves an issue that already exists in React 17 and below, but it’s even more important in React 18 because of how the new streaming server renderer delivers HTML out-of-order.
• startTransition and useTransition let you mark some state updates as not urgent. Other state updates are considered urgent by default. React will allow urgent state updates (for example, updating a text input) to interrupt non-urgent state updates (for example, rendering a list of search results).
• useDeferredValue lets you defer re-rendering a non-urgent part of the tree. It is similar to debouncing, but has a few advantages compared to it. There is no fixed time delay, so React will attempt the deferred render right after the first render is reflected on the screen. The deferred render is interruptible and doesn't block user input.
• useSyncExternalStore is a new hook that allows external stores to support concurrent reads by forcing updates to the store to be synchronous. It removes the need for useEffect when implementing subscriptions to external data sources, and is recommended for any library that integrates with state external to React.
• useInsertionEffect is a new hook that allows CSS-in-JS libraries to address performance issues of injecting styles in render. Unless you’ve already built a CSS-in-JS library we don’t expect you to ever use this. This hook will run after the DOM is mutated, but before layout effects read the new layout. This solves an issue that already exists in React 17 and below, but is even more important in React 18 because React yields to the browser during concurrent rendering, giving it a chance to recalculate layout.

React DOM Client

These new APIs are now exported from react-dom/client:

• createRoot: New method to create a root to render or unmount. Use it instead of ReactDOM.render. New features in React 18 don't work without it.
• hydrateRoot: New method to hydrate a server rendered application. Use it instead of ReactDOM.hydrate in conjunction with the new React DOM Server APIs. New features in React 18 don't work without it.

Both createRoot and hydrateRoot accept a new option called onRecoverableError in case you want to be notified when React recovers from errors during rendering or hydration for logging. By default, React will use reportError, or console.error in the older browsers.

React DOM Server

These new APIs are now exported from react-dom/server and have full support for streaming Suspense on the server:

• renderToPipeableStream: for streaming in Node environments.
• renderToReadableStream: for modern edge runtime environments, such as Deno and Cloudflare workers.

The existing renderToString method keeps working but is discouraged.

Deprecations

• react-dom: ReactDOM.render has been deprecated. Using it will warn and run your app in React 17 mode.
• react-dom: ReactDOM.hydrate has been deprecated. Using it will warn and run your app in React 17 mode.
• react-dom: ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode has been deprecated.
• react-dom: ReactDOM.renderSubtreeIntoContainer has been deprecated.
• react-dom/server: ReactDOMServer.renderToNodeStream has been deprecated.

Breaking Changes

React

• Automatic batching: This release introduces a performance improvement that changes to the way React batches updates to do more batching automatically. See Automatic batching for fewer renders in React 18 for more info. In the rare case that you need to opt out, wrap the state update in flushSync.
• Stricter Strict Mode: In the future, React will provide a feature that lets components preserve state between unmounts. To prepare for it, React 18 introduces a new development-only check to Strict Mode. React will automatically unmount and remount every component, whenever a component mounts for the first time, restoring the previous state on the second mount. If this breaks your app, consider removing Strict Mode until you can fix the components to be resilient to remounting with existing state.
• Consistent useEffect timing: React now always synchronously flushes effect functions if the update was triggered during a discrete user input event such as a click or a keydown event. Previously, the behavior wasn't always predictable or consistent.
• Stricter hydration errors: Hydration mismatches due to missing or extra text content are now treated like errors instead of warnings. React will no longer attempt to "patch up" individual nodes by inserting or deleting a node on the client in an attempt to match the server markup, and will revert to client rendering up to the closest <Suspense> boundary in the tree. This ensures the hydrated tree is consistent and avoids potential privacy and security holes that can be caused by hydration mismatches.
• Suspense trees are always consistent: If a component suspends before it's fully added to the tree, React will not add it to the tree in an incomplete state or fire its effects. Instead, React will throw away the new tree completely, wait for the asynchronous operation to finish, and then retry rendering again from scratch. React will render the retry attempt concurrently, and without blocking the browser.
• Layout Effects with Suspense: When a tree re-suspends and reverts to a fallback, React will now clean up layout effects, and then re-create them when the content inside the boundary is shown again. This fixes an issue which prevented component libraries from correctly measuring layout when used with Suspense.
• New JS Environment Requirements: React now depends on modern browsers features including Promise, Symbol, and Object.assign. If you support older browsers and devices such as Internet Explorer which do not provide modern browser features natively or have non-compliant implementations, consider including a global polyfill in your bundled application.

Scheduler (Experimental)

• Remove unstable scheduler/tracing API

Notable Changes

React

• Components can now render undefined: React no longer throws if you return undefined from a component. This makes the allowed component return values consistent with values that are allowed in the middle of a component tree. We suggest to use a linter to prevent mistakes like forgetting a return statement before JSX.
• In tests, act warnings are now opt-in: If you're running end-to-end tests, the act warnings are unnecessary. We've introduced an opt-in mechanism so you can enable them only for unit tests where they are useful and beneficial.
• No warning about setState on unmounted components: Previously, React warned about memory leaks when you call setState on an unmounted component. This warning was added for subscriptions, but people primarily run into it in scenarios where setting state is fine, and workarounds make the code worse. We've removed this warning.
• No suppression of console logs: When you use Strict Mode, React renders each component twice to help you find unexpected side effects. In React 17, we've suppressed console logs for one of the two renders to make the logs easier to read. In response to community feedback about this being confusing, we've removed the suppression. Instead, if you have React DevTools installed, the second log's renders will be displayed in grey, and there will be an option (off by default) to suppress them completely.
• Improved memory usage: React now cleans up more internal fields on unmount, making the impact from unfixed memory leaks that may exist in your application code less severe.

React DOM Server

• renderToString: Will no longer error when suspending on the server. Instead, it will emit the fallback HTML for the closest <Suspense> boundary and then retry rendering the same content on the client. It is still recommended that you switch to a streaming API like renderToPipeableStream or renderToReadableStream instead.
• renderToStaticMarkup: Will no longer error when suspending on the server. Instead, it will emit the fallback HTML for the closest <Suspense> boundary and retry rendering on the client.

16.0.0 (September 26, 2017)

Learn more in the React 16.0 announcement post!

New JS Environment Requirements

• React 16 depends on the collection types Map and Set, as well as requestAnimationFrame. If you support older browsers and devices which may not yet provide these natively (e.g. <IE11), you may want to include a polyfill.

New Features

• Components can now return arrays and strings from render. (Docs coming soon!)
• Improved error handling with introduction of "error boundaries". Error boundaries are React components that catch JavaScript errors anywhere in their child component tree, log those errors, and display a fallback UI instead of the component tree that crashed.
• First-class support for declaratively rendering a subtree into another DOM node with ReactDOM.createPortal(). (Docs coming soon!)
• Streaming mode for server side rendering is enabled with ReactDOMServer.renderToNodeStream() and ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticNodeStream(). (@aickin in #10425, #10044, #10039, #10024, #9264, and others.)
• React DOM now allows passing non-standard attributes. (@nhunzaker in #10385, 10564, #10495 and others)

Breaking Changes

• There are several changes to the behavior of scheduling and lifecycle methods:
  • ReactDOM.render() and ReactDOM.unstable_renderIntoContainer() now return null if called from inside a lifecycle method.
    • To work around this, you can either use the new portal API or refs.
  • Minor changes to setState behavior:
    • Calling setState with null no longer triggers an update. This allows you to decide in an updater function if you want to re-render.
    • Calling setState directly in render always causes an update. This was not previously the case. Regardless, you should not be calling setState from render.
    • setState callback (second argument) now fires immediately after componentDidMount / componentDidUpdate instead of after all components have rendered.
  • When replacing <A /> with <B />, B.componentWillMount now always happens before A.componentWillUnmount. Previously, A.componentWillUnmount could fire first in some cases.
  • Previously, changing the ref to a component would always detach the ref before that component's render is called. Now, we change the ref later, when applying the changes to the DOM.
  • It is not safe to re-render into a container that was modified by something other than React. This worked previously in some cases but was never supported. We now emit a warning in this case. Instead you should clean up your component trees using ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode. See this example.
  • componentDidUpdate lifecycle no longer receives prevContext param. (@bvaughn in #8631)
  • Non-unique keys may now cause children to be duplicated and/or omitted. Using non-unique keys is not (and has never been) supported, but previously it was a hard error.
  • Shallow renderer no longer calls componentDidUpdate() because DOM refs are not available. This also makes it consistent with componentDidMount() (which does not get called in previous versions either).
  • Shallow renderer does not implement unstable_batchedUpdates() anymore.
  • ReactDOM.unstable_batchedUpdates now only takes one extra argument after the callback.
• The names and paths to the single-file browser builds have changed to emphasize the difference between development and production builds. For example:
  • react/dist/react.js → react/umd/react.development.js
  • react/dist/react.min.js → react/umd/react.production.min.js
  • react-dom/dist/react-dom.js → react-dom/umd/react-dom.development.js
  • react-dom/dist/react-dom.min.js → react-dom/umd/react-dom.production.min.js

• The server renderer has been completely rewritten, with some improvements:
  • Server rendering does not use markup validation anymore, and instead tries its best to attach to existing DOM, warning about inconsistencies. It also doesn't use comments for empty components and data-reactid attributes on each node anymore.
  • Hydrating a server rendered container now has an explicit API. Use ReactDOM.hydrate instead of ReactDOM.render if you're reviving server rendered HTML. Keep using ReactDOM.render if you're just doing client-side rendering.
• When "unknown" props are passed to DOM components, for valid values, React will now render them in the DOM. See this post for more details. (@nhunzaker in #10385, 10564, #10495 and others)
• Errors in the render and lifecycle methods now unmount the component tree by default. To prevent this, add error boundaries to the appropriate places in the UI.

Removed Deprecations

• There is no react-with-addons.js build anymore. All compatible addons are published separately on npm, and have single-file browser versions if you need them.
• The deprecations introduced in 15.x have been removed from the core package. React.createClass is now available as create-react-class, React.PropTypes as prop-types, React.DOM as react-dom-factories, react-addons-test-utils as react-dom/test-utils, and shallow renderer as react-test-renderer/shallow. See 15.5.0 and 15.6.0 blog posts for instructions on migrating code and automated codemods.

React Native Renderer

• These files are now shipped inside the React npm package. They have no impact on React core or ReactDOM.

React

• Restore React.__spread API to unbreak code compiled with some tools making use of this undocumented API. It is now officially deprecated. (@zpao in #6444)

ReactDOM

• Fixed issue resulting in loss of cursor position in controlled inputs. (@spicyj in #6449)

Major changes

• Initial render now uses document.createElement instead of generating HTML. Previously we would generate a large string of HTML and then set node.innerHTML. At the time, this was decided to be faster than using document.createElement for the majority of cases and browsers that we supported. Browsers have continued to improve and so overwhelmingly this is no longer true. By using createElement we can make other parts of React faster. (@spicyj in #5205)
• data-reactid is no longer on every node. As a result of using document.createElement, we can prime the node cache as we create DOM nodes, allowing us to skip a potential lookup (which used the data-reactid attribute). Root nodes will have a data-reactroot attribute and server generated markup will still contain data-reactid. (@spicyj in #5205)
• No more extra <span>s. ReactDOM will now render plain text nodes interspersed with comment nodes that are used for demarcation. This gives us the same ability to update individual pieces of text, without creating extra nested nodes. If you were targeting these <span>s in your CSS, you will need to adjust accordingly. You can always render them explicitly in your components. (@mwiencek in #5753)
• Rendering null now uses comment nodes. Previously null would render to <noscript> elements. We now use comment nodes. This may cause issues if making use of :nth-child CSS selectors. While we consider this rendering behavior an implementation detail of React, it's worth noting the potential problem. ()@spicyj in #5451)
• Functional components can now return null. We added support for defining stateless components as functions in React 0.14. However, React 0.14 still allowed you to define a class component without extending React.Component or using React.createClass(), so we couldn’t reliably tell if your component is a function or a class, and did not allow returning null from it. This issue is solved in React 15, and you can now return null from any component, whether it is a class or a function. (@jimfb in #5884)
• Improved SVG support. All SVG tags are now fully supported. (Uncommon SVG tags are not present on the React.DOM element helper, but JSX and React.createElement work on all tag names.) All SVG attributes that are implemented by the browsers should be supported too. If you find any attributes that we have missed, please let us know in this issue. (@zpao in #6243)

Breaking changes

• No more extra <span>s.
• React.cloneElement() now resolves defaultProps. We fixed a bug in React.cloneElement() that some components may rely on. If some of the props received by cloneElement() are undefined, it used to return an element with undefined values for those props. We’re changing it to be consistent with createElement(). Now any undefined props passed to cloneElement() are resolved to the corresponding component’s defaultProps. (@truongduy134 in #5997)
• ReactPerf.getLastMeasurements() is opaque. This change won’t affect applications but may break some third-party tools. We are revamping ReactPerf implementation and plan to release it during the 15.x cycle. The internal performance measurement format is subject to change so, for the time being, we consider the return value of ReactPerf.getLastMeasurements() an opaque data structure that should not be relied upon. (@gaearon in #6286)

Removed deprecations

These deprecations were introduced nine months ago in v0.14 with a warning and are removed:

• Deprecated APIs are removed from the React top-level export: findDOMNode, render, renderToString, renderToStaticMarkup, and unmountComponentAtNode. As a reminder, they are now available on ReactDOM and ReactDOMServer. (@jimfb in #5832)
• Deprecated addons are removed: batchedUpdates and cloneWithProps. (@jimfb in #5859, @zpao in #6016)
• Deprecated component instance methods are removed: setProps, replaceProps, and getDOMNode. (@jimfb in #5570)
• Deprecated CommonJS react/addons entry point is removed. As a reminder, you should use separate react-addons-* packages instead. This only applies if you use the CommonJS builds. (@gaearon in #6285)
• Passing children to void elements like <input> was deprecated, and now throws an error. (@jonhester in #3372)
• React-specific properties on DOM refs (e.g. this.refs.div.props) were deprecated, and are removed now. (@jimfb in #5495)

New deprecations, introduced with a warning

Each of these changes will continue to work as before with a new warning until the release of React 16 so you can upgrade your code gradually.

• LinkedStateMixin and valueLink are now deprecated due to very low popularity. If you need this, you can use a wrapper component that implements the same behavior: react-linked-input. (@jimfb in #6127)
• Future versions of React will treat <input value={null}> as a request to clear the input. However, React 0.14 has been ignoring value={null}. React 15 warns you on a null input value and offers you to clarify your intention. To fix the warning, you may explicitly pass an empty string to clear a controlled input, or pass undefined to make the input uncontrolled. (@antoaravinth in #5048)
• ReactPerf.printDOM() was renamed to ReactPerf.printOperations(), and ReactPerf.getMeasurementsSummaryMap() was renamed to ReactPerf.getWasted(). (@gaearon in #6287)

New helpful warnings

• If you use a minified copy of the development build, React DOM kindly encourages you to use the faster production build instead. (@spicyj in #5083)
• React DOM: When specifying a unit-less CSS value as a string, a future version will not add px automatically. This version now warns in this case (ex: writing style={{'{{'}}width: '300'}}. Unitless number values like width: 300 are unchanged. (@pluma in #5140)
• Synthetic Events will now warn when setting and accessing properties (which will not get cleared appropriately), as well as warn on access after an event has been returned to the pool. (@kentcdodds in #5940 and @koba04 in #5947)
• Elements will now warn when attempting to read ref and key from the props. (@prometheansacrifice in #5744)
• React will now warn if you pass a different props object to super() in the constructor. (@prometheansacrifice in #5346)
• React will now warn if you call setState() inside getChildContext(). (@raineroviir in #6121)
• React DOM now attempts to warn for mistyped event handlers on DOM elements, such as onclick which should be onClick. (@ali in #5361)
• React DOM now warns about NaN values in style. (@jontewks in #5811)
• React DOM now warns if you specify both value and defaultValue for an input. (@mgmcdermott in #5823)
• React DOM now warns if an input switches between being controlled and uncontrolled. (@TheBlasfem in #5864)
• React DOM now warns if you specify onFocusIn or onFocusOut handlers as they are unnecessary in React. (@jontewks in #6296)
• React now prints a descriptive error message when you pass an invalid callback as the last argument to ReactDOM.render(), this.setState(), or this.forceUpdate(). (@conorhastings in #5193 and @gaearon in #6310)
• Add-Ons: TestUtils.Simulate() now prints a helpful message if you attempt to use it with shallow rendering. (@conorhastings in #5358)
• PropTypes: arrayOf() and objectOf() provide better error messages for invalid arguments. (@chicoxyzzy in #5390)

Notable bug fixes

• Fixed multiple small memory leaks. (@spicyj in #4983 and @victor-homyakov in #6309)
• Input events are handled more reliably in IE 10 and IE 11; spurious events no longer fire when using a placeholder. (@jquense in #4051)
• The componentWillReceiveProps() lifecycle method is now consistently called when context changes. (@milesj in #5787)
• React.cloneElement() doesn’t append slash to an existing key when used inside React.Children.map(). (@ianobermiller in #5892)
• React DOM now supports the cite and profile HTML attributes. (@AprilArcus in #6094 and @saiichihashimoto in #6032)
• React DOM now supports cssFloat, gridRow and gridColumn CSS properties. (@stevenvachon in #6133 and @mnordick in #4779)
• React DOM now correctly handles borderImageOutset, borderImageWidth, borderImageSlice, floodOpacity, strokeDasharray, and strokeMiterlimit as unitless CSS properties. (@rofrischmann in #6210 and #6270)
• React DOM now supports the onAnimationStart, onAnimationEnd, onAnimationIteration, onTransitionEnd, and onInvalid events. Support for onLoad has been added to object elements. (@tomduncalf in #5187, @milesj in #6005, and @ara4n in #5781)
• React DOM now defaults to using DOM attributes instead of properties, which fixes a few edge case bugs. Additionally the nullification of values (ex: href={null}) now results in the forceful removal, no longer trying to set to the default value used by browsers in the absence of a value. (@syranide in #1510)
• React DOM does not mistakingly coerce children to strings for Web Components. (@jimfb in #5093)
• React DOM now correctly normalizes SVG <use> events. (@edmellum in #5720)
• React DOM does not throw if a <select> is unmounted while its onChange handler is executing. (@sambev in #6028)
• React DOM does not throw in Windows 8 apps. (@Andrew8xx8 in #6063)
• React DOM does not throw when asynchronously unmounting a child with a ref. (@yiminghe in #6095)
• React DOM no longer forces synchronous layout because of scroll position tracking. (@syranide in #2271)
• Object.is is used in a number of places to compare values, which leads to fewer false positives, especially involving NaN. In particular, this affects the shallowCompare add-on. (@chicoxyzzy in #6132)
• Add-Ons: ReactPerf no longer instruments adding or removing an event listener because they don’t really touch the DOM due to event delegation. (@antoaravinth in #5209)

### Other improvements

• React now uses loose-envify instead of envify so it installs less transitive dependencies. (@qerub in #6303)
• Shallow renderer now exposes getMountedInstance(). (@glenjamin in #4918)
• Shallow renderer now returns the rendered output from render(). (@simonewebdesign in #5411)
• React no longer depends on ES5 shams for Object.create and Object.freeze in older environments. It still, however, requires ES5 shims in those environments. (@dgreensp in #4959)
• React DOM now allows data- attributes with names that start with numbers. (@nLight in #5216)
• React DOM adds a new suppressContentEditableWarning prop for components like Draft.js that intentionally manage contentEditable children with React. (@mxstbr in #6112)
• React improves the performance for createClass() on complex specs. (@spicyj in #5550)

React Core

Breaking Changes

• Deprecated patterns that warned in 0.12 no longer work: most prominently, calling component classes without using JSX or React.createElement and using non-component functions with JSX or createElement
• Mutating props after an element is created is deprecated and will cause warnings in development mode; future versions of React will incorporate performance optimizations assuming that props aren't mutated
• Static methods (defined in statics) are no longer autobound to the component class
• ref resolution order has changed slightly such that a ref to a component is available immediately after its componentDidMount method is called; this change should be observable only if your component calls a parent component's callback within your componentDidMount, which is an anti-pattern and should be avoided regardless
• Calls to setState in life-cycle methods are now always batched and therefore asynchronous. Previously the first call on the first mount was synchronous.
• setState and forceUpdate on an unmounted component now warns instead of throwing. That avoids a possible race condition with Promises.
• Access to most internal properties has been completely removed, including this._pendingState and this._rootNodeID.

New Features

• Support for using ES6 classes to build React components; see the v0.13.0 beta 1 notes for details.
• Added new top-level API React.findDOMNode(component), which should be used in place of component.getDOMNode(). The base class for ES6-based components will not have getDOMNode. This change will enable some more patterns moving forward.
• Added a new top-level API React.cloneElement(el, props) for making copies of React elements – see the v0.13 RC2 notes for more details.
• New ref style, allowing a callback to be used in place of a name: <Photo ref={(c) => this._photo = c} /> allows you to reference the component with this._photo (as opposed to ref="photo" which gives this.refs.photo).
• this.setState() can now take a function as the first argument for transactional state updates, such as this.setState((state, props) => ({count: state.count + 1})); – this means that you no longer need to use this._pendingState, which is now gone.
• Support for iterators and immutable-js sequences as children.

Deprecations

• ComponentClass.type is deprecated. Just use ComponentClass (usually as element.type === ComponentClass).
• Some methods that are available on createClass-based components are removed or deprecated from ES6 classes (getDOMNode, replaceState, isMounted, setProps, replaceProps).

React with Add-Ons

New Features

• React.addons.createFragment was added for adding keys to entire sets of children.

Deprecations

• React.addons.classSet is now deprecated. This functionality can be replaced with several freely available modules. classnames is one such module.
• Calls to React.addons.cloneWithProps can be migrated to use React.cloneElement instead – make sure to merge style and className manually if desired.

React Tools

Breaking Changes

• When transforming ES6 syntax, class methods are no longer enumerable by default, which requires Object.defineProperty; if you support browsers such as IE8, you can pass --target es3 to mirror the old behavior

New Features

• --target option is available on the jsx command, allowing users to specify and ECMAScript version to target.
  • es5 is the default.
  • es3 restores the previous default behavior. An additional transform is added here to ensure the use of reserved words as properties is safe (eg this.static will become this['static'] for IE8 compatibility).
• The transform for the call spread operator has also been enabled.

JSX

Breaking Changes

• A change was made to how some JSX was parsed, specifically around the use of > or } when inside an element. Previously it would be treated as a string but now it will be treated as a parse error. The jsx_orphaned_brackets_transformer package on npm can be used to find and fix potential issues in your JSX code.

React Core

• Added support for more HTML attributes: formAction, formEncType, formMethod, formTarget, marginHeight, marginWidth
• Added strokeOpacity to the list of unitless CSS properties
• Removed trailing commas (allows npm module to be bundled and used in IE8)
• Fixed bug resulting in error when passing undefined to React.createElement - now there is a useful warning

React Tools

• JSX-related transforms now always use double quotes for props and displayName

React Tools

• Types transform updated with latest support
• jstransform version updated with improved ES6 transforms
• Explicit Esprima dependency removed in favor of using Esprima information exported by jstransform

React Core

Breaking Changes

• key and ref moved off props object, now accessible on the element directly
• React is now BSD licensed with accompanying Patents grant
• Default prop resolution has moved to Element creation time instead of mount time, making them effectively static
• React.__internals is removed - it was exposed for DevTools which no longer needs access
• Composite Component functions can no longer be called directly - they must be wrapped with React.createFactory first. This is handled for you when using JSX.

New Features

• Spread operator ({...}) introduced to deprecate this.transferPropsTo
• Added support for more HTML attributes: acceptCharset, classID, manifest

Deprecations

• React.renderComponent --> React.render
• React.renderComponentToString --> React.renderToString
• React.renderComponentToStaticMarkup --> React.renderToStaticMarkup
• React.isValidComponent --> React.isValidElement
• React.PropTypes.component --> React.PropTypes.element
• React.PropTypes.renderable --> React.PropTypes.node
• DEPRECATED React.isValidClass

• Correctly treat event.getModifierState as case sensitive
• Improved normalization of event.charCode
• Better error stacks when involving autobound methods
• Removed DevTools message when the DevTools are installed

  • scrollLeft, scrollTop removed, these should not be specified as props
• Improved error messages

React With Addons

New Features

• React.addons.batchedUpdates added to API for hooking into update cycle

Breaking Changes

Bug Fixes

• Fixed some issues with CSS Transitions

JSX

Breaking Changes

• Enforced convention: lower case tag names are always treated as HTML tags, upper case tag names are always treated as composite components
• JSX no longer transforms to simple function calls

New Features

• @jsx React.DOM no longer required
• spread ({...}) operator introduced to allow easier use of props

Bug Fixes

• JSXTransformer: Make sourcemaps an option when using APIs directly (eg, for react-rails)

React Core

New Features

• Added support for <dialog> element and associated open attribute
• Added support for <picture> element and associated media and sizes attributes
• Added React.createElement API in preparation for React v0.12
  • React.createDescriptor has been deprecated as a result

JSX

  • Added support for elements mask and tspan
  • Added support for attributes dx, dy, fillOpacity, fontFamily, fontSize, markerEnd, markerMid, markerStart, opacity, patternContentUnits, patternUnits, preserveAspectRatio, strokeDasharray, strokeOpacity

• Made it possible to server render without React-related markup (data-reactid, data-react-checksum). This DOM will not be mountable by React. Read the docs for React.renderComponentToStaticMarkup
• Added support for more attributes:
  • srcSet for <img> to specify images at different pixel ratios
  • textAnchor for SVG

Bug Fixes

• Ensure all void elements don’t insert a closing tag into the markup.
• Ensure className={false} behaves consistently
• Ensure this.refs is defined, even if no refs are specified.

Addons

• update function to deal with immutable data. Read the docs

react-tools

• Added an option argument to transform function. The only option supported is harmony, which behaves the same as jsx --harmony on the command line. This uses the ES6 transforms from jstransform.

What’s New?

This version includes better support for normalizing event properties across all supported browsers so that you need to worry even less about cross-browser differences. We've also made many improvements to error messages and have refactored the core to never rethrow errors, so stack traces are more accurate and Chrome's purple break-on-error stop sign now works properly.

We've also added to the add-ons build React.addons.TestUtils, a set of new utilities to help you write unit tests for React components. You can now simulate events on your components, and several helpers are provided to help make assertions about the rendered DOM tree.

We've also made several other improvements and a few breaking changes; the full changelog is provided below.

JSX Whitespace

In addition to the changes to React core listed below, we've made a small change to the way JSX interprets whitespace to make things more consistent. With this release, space between two components on the same line will be preserved, while a newline separating a text node from a tag will be eliminated in the output. Consider the code:

<div>
  Monkeys:
  {listOfMonkeys} {submitButton}
</div>

In v0.8 and below, it was transformed to the following:

React.DOM.div(null,
  " Monkeys: ",
  listOfMonkeys, submitButton
)

In v0.9, it will be transformed to this JS instead:

React.DOM.div(null,
  "Monkeys:",
  listOfMonkeys, " ", submitButton
)

We believe this new behavior is more helpful and elimates cases where unwanted whitespace was previously added.

In cases where you want to preserve the space adjacent to a newline, you can write {'Monkeys: '} or Monkeys:{' '} in your JSX source. We've included a script to do an automated codemod of your JSX source tree that preserves the old whitespace behavior by adding and removing spaces appropriately. You can install jsx_whitespace_transformer from npm and run it over your source tree to modify files in place. The transformed JSX files will preserve your code's existing whitespace behavior.

Changelog

React Core

Breaking Changes

• The lifecycle methods componentDidMount and componentDidUpdate no longer receive the root node as a parameter; use this.getDOMNode() instead

• On mouse wheel events, deltaY is no longer negated
• When prop types validation fails, a warning is logged instead of an error thrown (with the production build of React, type checks are now skipped for performance)
• On input, select, and textarea elements, .getValue() is no longer supported; use .getDOMNode().value instead

Security release to address CVE-2013-7035.

React

• Fixed bug with <input type="range"> and selection events.
• Fixed bug with selection and focus.
• Made it possible to unmount components from the document root.
• Fixed bug for disabled attribute handling on non-<input> elements.

React with Addons

• Fixed bug with transition and animation event detection.

React

• Memory usage improvements - reduced allocations in core which will help with GC pauses
• Performance improvements - in addition to speeding things up, we made some tweaks to stay out of slow path code in V8 and Nitro.
• Standardized prop -> DOM attribute process. This previously resulting in additional type checking and overhead as well as confusing cases for users. Now we will always convert your value to a string before inserting it into the DOM.
• Support for Selection events.
• Support for Composition events.
• Support for additional DOM properties (charSet, content, form, httpEquiv, rowSpan, autoCapitalize).
• Support for additional SVG properties (rx, ry).
• Support for using getInitialState and getDefaultProps in mixins.
• Support mounting into iframes.
• Bug fixes for controlled form components.
• Bug fixes for SVG element creation.
• Added React.version.
• Added React.isValidClass - Used to determine if a value is a valid component constructor.
• Removed React.autoBind - This was deprecated in v0.4 and now properly removed.
• Renamed React.unmountAndReleaseReactRootNode to React.unmountComponentAtNode.
• Began laying down work for refined performance analysis.
• Better support for server-side rendering - react-page has helped improve the stability for server-side rendering.
• Made it possible to use React in environments enforcing a strict Content Security Policy. This also makes it possible to use React to build Chrome extensions.

React with Addons (New!)

• Introduced a separate build with several "addons" which we think can help improve the React experience. We plan to deprecate this in the long-term, instead shipping each as standalone pieces. Read more in the docs.

JSX

• No longer transform class to className as part of the transform! This is a breaking change - if you were using class, you must change this to className or your components will be visually broken.
• Added warnings to the in-browser transformer to make it clear it is not intended for production use.
• Improved compatibility for Windows
• Improved support for maintaining line numbers when transforming.

React

• setState callbacks are now executed in the scope of your component.
• click events now work on Mobile Safari.
• Prevent a potential error in event handling if Object.prototype is extended.
• Don't set DOM attributes to the string "undefined" on update when previously defined.
• Improved support for <iframe> attributes.
• Added checksums to detect and correct cases where server-side rendering markup mismatches what React expects client-side.

JSXTransformer

• Improved environment detection so it can be run in a non-browser environment.

React

• Switch from using id attribute to data-reactid to track DOM nodes. This allows you to integrate with other JS and CSS libraries more easily.
• Support for more DOM elements and attributes (e.g., <canvas>)
• Improved server-side rendering APIs. React.renderComponentToString(<component>, callback) allows you to use React on the server and generate markup which can be sent down to the browser.
• prop improvements: validation and default values. Read our blog post for details...
• Support for the key prop, which allows for finer control over reconciliation. Read the docs for details...
• Removed React.autoBind. Read our blog post for details...
• Improvements to forms. We've written wrappers around <input>, <textarea>, <option>, and <select> in order to standardize many inconsistencies in browser implementations. This includes support for defaultValue, and improved implementation of the onChange event, and circuit completion. Read the docs for details...
• We've implemented an improved synthetic event system that conforms to the W3C spec.
• Updates to your component are batched now, which may result in a significantly faster re-render of components. this.setState now takes an optional callback as it's second parameter. If you were using onClick={this.setState.bind(this, state)} previously, you'll want to make sure you add a third parameter so that the event is not treated as the callback.

JSX

• Support for comment nodes <div>{/* this is a comment and won't be rendered */}</div>
• Children are now transformed directly into arguments instead of being wrapped in an array E.g. <div><Component1/><Component2/></div> is transformed into React.DOM.div(null, Component1(null), Component2(null)). Previously this would be transformed into React.DOM.div(null, [Component1(null), Component2(null)]). If you were using React without JSX previously, your code should still work.

react-tools

• Fixed a number of bugs when transforming directories
• No longer re-write require()s to be relative unless specified

This release addresses some small issues people were having and simplifies our tools to make them easier to use.

react-tools

• Upgrade Commoner so require statements are no longer relativized when passing through the transformer. This was a feature needed when building React, but doesn't translate well for other consumers of bin/jsx.
• Upgraded our dependencies on Commoner and Recast so they use a different directory for their cache.
• Freeze our esprima dependency.

React

• Allow reusing the same DOM node to render different components. e.g. React.renderComponent(<div/>, domNode); React.renderComponent(<span/>, domNode); will work now.

JSXTransformer

• Improved the in-browser transformer so that transformed scripts will execute in the expected scope. The allows components to be defined and used from separate files.
