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.
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
anduseTransition
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 foruseEffect
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.
These new APIs are now exported from react-dom/client
:
createRoot
: New method to create a root torender
orunmount
. Use it instead ofReactDOM.render
. New features in React 18 don't work without it.hydrateRoot
: New method to hydrate a server rendered application. Use it instead ofReactDOM.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.
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.

- 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
, andObject.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.
- Components can now render
undefined
: React no longer throws if you returnundefined
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 areturn
statement before JSX. - In tests,
act
warnings are now opt-in: If you're running end-to-end tests, theact
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 callsetState
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.
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 likerenderToPipeableStream
orrenderToReadableStream
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.

). This fix is available in the latest[email protected]
, as well as in previous affected minor versions:[email protected]
,[email protected]
,[email protected]
, and[email protected]
. (@gaearon in #13302)
- 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.
- 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()
andReactDOMServer.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)
- There are several changes to the behavior of scheduling and lifecycle methods:
ReactDOM.render()
andReactDOM.unstable_renderIntoContainer()
now returnnull
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 callingsetState
from render. setState
callback (second argument) now fires immediately aftercomponentDidMount
/componentDidUpdate
instead of after all components have rendered.
- Calling
- When replacing
<A />
with<B />
,B.componentWillMount
now always happens beforeA.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 theref
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 receivesprevContext
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 withcomponentDidMount()
(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 ofReactDOM.render
if you're reviving server rendered HTML. Keep usingReactDOM.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.
- 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.

- Handle invalid arguments to

- These files are now shipped inside the React npm package. They have no impact on React core or ReactDOM.
- 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)
- Fixed issue resulting in loss of cursor position in controlled inputs. (@sophiebits in #6449)
- Initial render now uses
document.createElement
instead of generating HTML. Previously we would generate a large string of HTML and then setnode.innerHTML
. At the time, this was decided to be faster than usingdocument.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 usingcreateElement
we can make other parts of React faster. (@sophiebits in #5205) data-reactid
is no longer on every node. As a result of usingdocument.createElement
, we can prime the node cache as we create DOM nodes, allowing us to skip a potential lookup (which used thedata-reactid
attribute). Root nodes will have adata-reactroot
attribute and server generated markup will still containdata-reactid
. (@sophiebits 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. Previouslynull
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. (@sophiebits 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 extendingReact.Component
or usingReact.createClass()
, so we couldn’t reliably tell if your component is a function or a class, and did not allow returningnull
from it. This issue is solved in React 15, and you can now returnnull
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 andReact.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)
- No more extra
<span>
s. React.cloneElement()
now resolvesdefaultProps
. We fixed a bug inReact.cloneElement()
that some components may rely on. If some of theprops
received bycloneElement()
areundefined
, it used to return an element withundefined
values for those props. We’re changing it to be consistent withcreateElement()
. Now anyundefined
props passed tocloneElement()
are resolved to the corresponding component’sdefaultProps
. (@truongduy134 in #5997)ReactPerf.getLastMeasurements()
is opaque. This change won’t affect applications but may break some third-party tools. We are revampingReactPerf
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 ofReactPerf.getLastMeasurements()
an opaque data structure that should not be relied upon. (@gaearon in #6286)
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
, andunmountComponentAtNode
. As a reminder, they are now available onReactDOM
andReactDOMServer
. (@jimfb in #5832) - Deprecated addons are removed:
batchedUpdates
andcloneWithProps
. (@jimfb in #5859, @zpao in #6016) - Deprecated component instance methods are removed:
setProps
,replaceProps
, andgetDOMNode
. (@jimfb in #5570) - Deprecated CommonJS
react/addons
entry point is removed. As a reminder, you should use separatereact-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)
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
andvalueLink
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 ignoringvalue={null}
. React 15 warns you on anull
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 passundefined
to make the input uncontrolled. (@antoaravinth in #5048) ReactPerf.printDOM()
was renamed toReactPerf.printOperations()
, andReactPerf.getMeasurementsSummaryMap()
was renamed toReactPerf.getWasted()
. (@gaearon in #6287)
- If you use a minified copy of the development build, React DOM kindly encourages you to use the faster production build instead. (@sophiebits 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: writingstyle={{width: '300'}}
. Unitless number values likewidth: 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
andkey
from the props. (@prometheansacrifice in #5744) - React will now warn if you pass a different
props
object tosuper()
in the constructor. (@prometheansacrifice in #5346) - React will now warn if you call
setState()
insidegetChildContext()
. (@raineroviir in #6121) - React DOM now attempts to warn for mistyped event handlers on DOM elements, such as
onclick
which should beonClick
. (@ali in #5361) - React DOM now warns about
NaN
values instyle
. (@jontewks in #5811) - React DOM now warns if you specify both
value
anddefaultValue
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
oronFocusOut
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()
, orthis.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()
andobjectOf()
provide better error messages for invalid arguments. (@chicoxyzzy in #5390)
- Fixed multiple small memory leaks. (@sophiebits 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 whencontext
changes. (@milesj in #5787) React.cloneElement()
doesn’t append slash to an existingkey
when used insideReact.Children.map()
. (@ianobermiller in #5892)- React DOM now supports the
cite
andprofile
HTML attributes. (@AprilArcus in #6094 and @saiichihashimoto in #6032) - React DOM now supports
cssFloat
,gridRow
andgridColumn
CSS properties. (@stevenvachon in #6133 and @mnordick in #4779) - React DOM now correctly handles
borderImageOutset
,borderImageWidth
,borderImageSlice
,floodOpacity
,strokeDasharray
, andstrokeMiterlimit
as unitless CSS properties. (@rofrischmann in #6210 and #6270) - React DOM now supports the
onAnimationStart
,onAnimationEnd
,onAnimationIteration
,onTransitionEnd
, andonInvalid
events. Support foronLoad
has been added toobject
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 mistakenly 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 itsonChange
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 involvingNaN
. In particular, this affects theshallowCompare
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)
- React now uses
loose-envify
instead ofenvify
so it installs fewer 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
andObject.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 managecontentEditable
children with React. (@mxstbr in #6112) - React improves the performance for
createClass()
on complex specs. (@sophiebits in #5550)
- Backport support for the new JSX transform to 0.14.x. (@lunaruan in #18299 and @gaearon in #20024)

react
fromdependencies
topeerDependencies
to match expectations and align withreact-addons-*
packages
- Fixed bug where events wouldn't fire in old browsers when using React in development mode
- Fixed bug preventing use of
dangerouslySetInnerHTML
with Closure Compiler Advanced mode - Added support for
srcLang

color
attribute - Ensured legacy
.props
access on DOM nodes is updated on re-renders
- Fixed
scryRenderedDOMComponentsWithClass
so it works with SVG
- Fix bug preventing
0
to be used as a timeout value
- Added
react-dom.js
tomain
to improve compatibility with tooling
- Split the main
react
package into two:react
andreact-dom
. This paves the way to writing components that can be shared between the web version of React and React Native. This means you will need to include both files and some functions have been moved fromReact
toReactDOM
. - Addons have been moved to separate packages (
react-addons-clone-with-props
,react-addons-create-fragment
,react-addons-css-transition-group
,react-addons-linked-state-mixin
,react-addons-perf
,react-addons-pure-render-mixin
,react-addons-shallow-compare
,react-addons-test-utils
,react-addons-transition-group
,react-addons-update
,ReactDOM.unstable_batchedUpdates
). - Stateless functional components - React components were previously created using React.createClass or using ES6 classes. This release adds a new syntax where a user defines a single stateless render function (with one parameter:
props
) which returns a JSX element, and this function may be used as a component. - Refs to DOM components as the DOM node itself. Previously the only useful thing you can do with a DOM component is call
getDOMNode()
to get the underlying DOM node. Starting with this release, a ref to a DOM component is the actual DOM node. Note that refs to custom (user-defined) components work exactly as before; only the built-in DOM components are affected by this change.
React.initializeTouchEvents
is no longer necessary and has been removed completely. Touch events now work automatically.- Add-Ons: Due to the DOM node refs change mentioned above,
TestUtils.findAllInRenderedTree
and related helpers are no longer able to take a DOM component, only a custom component. - The
props
object is now frozen, so mutating props after creating a component element is no longer supported. In most cases,React.cloneElement
should be used instead. This change makes your components easier to reason about and enables the compiler optimizations mentioned above. - Plain objects are no longer supported as React children; arrays should be used instead. You can use the
createFragment
helper to migrate, which now returns an array. - Add-Ons:
classSet
has been removed. Use classnames instead. - Web components (custom elements) now use native property names. Eg:
class
instead ofclassName
.
this.getDOMNode()
is now deprecated andReactDOM.findDOMNode(this)
can be used instead. Note that in the common case,findDOMNode
is now unnecessary since a ref to the DOM component is now the actual DOM node.setProps
andreplaceProps
are now deprecated. Instead, call ReactDOM.render again at the top level with the new props.- ES6 component classes must now extend
React.Component
in order to enable stateless function components. The ES3 module pattern will continue to work. - Reusing and mutating a
style
object between renders has been deprecated. This mirrors our change to freeze theprops
object. - Add-Ons:
cloneWithProps
is now deprecated. UseReact.cloneElement
instead (unlikecloneWithProps
,cloneElement
does not mergeclassName
orstyle
automatically; you can merge them manually if needed). - Add-Ons: To improve reliability,
CSSTransitionGroup
will no longer listen to transition events. Instead, you should specify transition durations manually using props such astransitionEnterTimeout={500}
.
- Added
React.Children.toArray
which takes a nested children object and returns a flat array with keys assigned to each child. This helper makes it easier to manipulate collections of children in yourrender
methods, especially if you want to reorder or slicethis.props.children
before passing it down. In addition,React.Children.map
now returns plain arrays too. - React uses
console.error
instead ofconsole.warn
for warnings so that browsers show a full stack trace in the console. (Our warnings appear when you use patterns that will break in future releases and for code that is likely to behave unexpectedly, so we do consider our warnings to be “must-fix” errors.) - Previously, including untrusted objects as React children could result in an XSS security vulnerability. This problem should be avoided by properly validating input at the application layer and by never passing untrusted objects around your application code. As an additional layer of protection, React now tags elements with a specific ES2015 (ES6)
Symbol
in browsers that support it, in order to ensure that React never considers untrusted JSON to be a valid element. If this extra security protection is important to you, you should add aSymbol
polyfill for older browsers, such as the one included by Babel’s polyfill. - When possible, React DOM now generates XHTML-compatible markup.
- React DOM now supports these standard HTML attributes:
capture
,challenge
,inputMode
,is
,keyParams
,keyType
,minLength
,summary
,wrap
. It also now supports these non-standard attributes:autoSave
,results
,security
. - React DOM now supports these SVG attributes, which render into namespaced attributes:
xlinkActuate
,xlinkArcrole
,xlinkHref
,xlinkRole
,xlinkShow
,xlinkTitle
,xlinkType
,xmlBase
,xmlLang
,xmlSpace
. - The
image
SVG tag is now supported by React DOM. - In React DOM, arbitrary attributes are supported on custom elements (those with a hyphen in the tag name or an
is="..."
attribute). - React DOM now supports these media events on
audio
andvideo
tags:onAbort
,onCanPlay
,onCanPlayThrough
,onDurationChange
,onEmptied
,onEncrypted
,onEnded
,onError
,onLoadedData
,onLoadedMetadata
,onLoadStart
,onPause
,onPlay
,onPlaying
,onProgress
,onRateChange
,onSeeked
,onSeeking
,onStalled
,onSuspend
,onTimeUpdate
,onVolumeChange
,onWaiting
. - Many small performance improvements have been made.
- Many warnings show more context than before.
- Add-Ons: A
shallowCompare
add-on has been added as a migration path forPureRenderMixin
in ES6 classes. - Add-Ons:
CSSTransitionGroup
can now use custom class names instead of appending-enter-active
or similar to the transition name.
- React DOM now warns you when nesting HTML elements invalidly, which helps you avoid surprising errors during updates.
- Passing
document.body
directly as the container toReactDOM.render
now gives a warning as doing so can cause problems with browser extensions that modify the DOM. - Using multiple instances of React together is not supported, so we now warn when we detect this case to help you avoid running into the resulting problems.
- Click events are handled by React DOM more reliably in mobile browsers, particularly in Mobile Safari.
- SVG elements are created with the correct namespace in more cases.
- React DOM now renders
<option>
elements with multiple text children properly and renders<select>
elements on the server with the correct option selected. - When two separate copies of React add nodes to the same document (including when a browser extension uses React), React DOM tries harder not to throw exceptions during event handling.
- Using non-lowercase HTML tag names in React DOM (e.g.,
React.createElement('DIV')
) no longer causes problems, though we continue to recommend lowercase for consistency with the JSX tag name convention (lowercase names refer to built-in components, capitalized names refer to custom components). - React DOM understands that these CSS properties are unitless and does not append “px” to their values:
animationIterationCount
,boxOrdinalGroup
,flexOrder
,tabSize
,stopOpacity
. - Add-Ons: When using the test utils,
Simulate.mouseEnter
andSimulate.mouseLeave
now work. - Add-Ons: ReactTransitionGroup now correctly handles multiple nodes being removed simultaneously.
- The
react-tools
package andJSXTransformer.js
browser file have been deprecated. You can continue using version0.13.3
of both, but we no longer support them and recommend migrating to Babel, which has built-in support for React and JSX.
- Babel 5.8.24 introduces Inlining React elements: The
optimisation.react.inlineElements
transform converts JSX elements to object literals like{type: 'div', props: ...}
instead of calls toReact.createElement
. This should only be enabled in production, since it disables some development warnings/checks. - Babel 5.8.24 introduces Constant hoisting for React elements: The
optimisation.react.constantElements
transform hoists element creation to the top level for subtrees that are fully static, which reduces calls toReact.createElement
and the resulting allocations. More importantly, it tells React that the subtree hasn’t changed so React can completely skip it when reconciling. This should only be enabled in production, since it disables some development warnings/checks.
- Added
clipPath
element and attribute for SVG - Improved warnings for deprecated methods in plain JS classes
- Loosened
dangerouslySetInnerHTML
restrictions so{__html: undefined}
will no longer throw - Fixed extraneous context warning with non-pure
getChildContext
- Ensure
replaceState(obj)
retains prototype ofobj
- Test Utils: Ensure that shallow rendering works when components define
contextTypes
- Added
strokeDashoffset
,flexPositive
,flexNegative
to the list of unitless CSS properties - Added support for more DOM properties:
scoped
- for<style>
elementshigh
,low
,optimum
- for<meter>
elementsunselectable
- IE-specific property to prevent user selection
- Fixed a case where re-rendering after rendering null didn't properly pass context
- Fixed a case where re-rendering after rendering with
style={null}
didn't properly updatestyle
- Update
uglify
dependency to prevent a bug in IE8 - Improved warnings
- Immutability Helpers: Ensure it supports
hasOwnProperty
as an object key
- Improve documentation for new options
- Don't throw when rendering empty
<select>
elements - Ensure updating
style
works when transitioning fromnull
- TestUtils: Don't warn about
getDOMNode
for ES6 classes - TestUtils: Ensure wrapped full page components (
<html>
,<head>
,<body>
) are treated as DOM components - Perf: Stop double-counting DOM components
- Fix option parsing for
--non-strict-es6module
- 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 itscomponentDidMount
method is called; this change should be observable only if your component calls a parent component's callback within yourcomponentDidMount
, 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
andforceUpdate
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
andthis._rootNodeID
.
- 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 ofcomponent.getDOMNode()
. The base class for ES6-based components will not havegetDOMNode
. 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 withthis._photo
(as opposed toref="photo"
which givesthis.refs.photo
). this.setState()
can now take a function as the first argument for transactional state updates, such asthis.setState((state, props) => ({count: state.count + 1}));
– this means that you no longer need to usethis._pendingState
, which is now gone.- Support for iterators and immutable-js sequences as children.
ComponentClass.type
is deprecated. Just useComponentClass
(usually aselement.type === ComponentClass
).- Some methods that are available on
createClass
-based components are removed or deprecated from ES6 classes (getDOMNode
,replaceState
,isMounted
,setProps
,replaceProps
).
React.addons.createFragment
was added for adding keys to entire sets of children.
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 useReact.cloneElement
instead – make sure to mergestyle
andclassName
manually if desired.
- When transforming ES6 syntax,
class
methods are no longer enumerable by default, which requiresObject.defineProperty
; if you support browsers such as IE8, you can pass--target es3
to mirror the old behavior
--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 (egthis.static
will becomethis['static']
for IE8 compatibility).
- The transform for the call spread operator has also been enabled.
- The return value of
transform
now containssourceMap
as a JS object already, not an instance ofSourceMapGenerator
.
- 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. Thejsx_orphaned_brackets_transformer
package on npm can be used to find and fix potential issues in your JSX code.
- 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
toReact.createElement
- now there is a useful warning
- JSX-related transforms now always use double quotes for props and
displayName
- 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
key
andref
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.
- Spread operator (
{...}
) introduced to deprecatethis.transferPropsTo
- Added support for more HTML attributes:
acceptCharset
,classID
,manifest

- Improved error messages
React.addons.batchedUpdates
added to API for hooking into update cycle
React.addons.update
usesassign
instead ofcopyProperties
which doeshasOwnProperty
checks. Properties on prototypes will no longer be updated correctly.
- Fixed some issues with CSS Transitions
- 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
@jsx React.DOM
no longer required- spread (
{...}
) operator introduced to allow easier use of props
- JSXTransformer: Make sourcemaps an option when using APIs directly (eg, for react-rails)
- Added support for
<dialog>
element and associatedopen
attribute - Added support for
<picture>
element and associatedmedia
andsizes
attributes - Added
React.createElement
API in preparation for React v0.12React.createDescriptor
has been deprecated as a result
<picture>
is now parsed intoReact.DOM.picture
- Update
esprima
andjstransform
for correctness fixes - The
jsx
executable now exposes a--strip-types
flag which can be used to remove TypeScript-like type annotations- This option is also exposed to
require('react-tools').transform
asstripTypes
- This option is also exposed to
setState
can be called insidecomponentWillMount
in non-DOM environmentsSyntheticMouseEvent.getEventModifierState
correctly renamed togetModifierState
getModifierState
correctly returns aboolean
getModifierState
is now correctly case sensitive- Empty Text node used in IE8

- Fixed a bug preventing sourcemaps from working in Firefox
- Enable the same
- Improved readme with usage and API information
- Improved ES6 transforms available with
--harmony
option - Added

to specify images at different pixel ratiostextAnchor
for SVG
- 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.
update
function to deal with immutable data. Read the docs
- Added an option argument to
transform
function. The only option supported isharmony
, which behaves the same asjsx --harmony
on the command line. This uses the ES6 transforms from jstransform.
- The lifecycle methods
componentDidMount
andcomponentDidUpdate
no longer receive the root node as a parameter; usethis.getDOMNode()
instead - Whenever a prop is equal to
undefined
, the default value returned bygetDefaultProps
will now be used instead React.unmountAndReleaseReactRootNode

handler - Fixed a memory leak when
renderComponentToString
would store event handlers - Fixed an error that could be thrown when removing form elements during a click handler
- Boolean attributes such as
disabled

, now simplydisabled
) key
values containing.
are now supported- Shortened
data-reactid
values for performance - Components now always remount when the
key
property changes - Event handlers are attached to
document
only when necessary, improving performance in some cases - Events no longer use
.returnValue
in modern browsers, eliminating a warning in Chrome scrollLeft
andscrollTop
are no longer accessed on document.body, eliminating a warning in Chrome- General performance fixes, memory optimizations, improvements to warnings and error messages

- Fixed a potential XSS vulnerability when using user content as a
key
: CVE-2013-7035
- 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.
- Fixed bug with transition and animation event detection.
- 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
andgetDefaultProps
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
toReact.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.
- 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.
- No longer transform
class
toclassName
as part of the transform! This is a breaking change - if you were usingclass
, you must change this toclassName
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.
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.
- Improved environment detection so it can be run in a non-browser environment.
- Switch from using
id
attribute todata-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 fordefaultValue
, and improved implementation of theonChange
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 usingonClick={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.
- 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 intoReact.DOM.div(null, Component1(null), Component2(null))
. Previously this would be transformed intoReact.DOM.div(null, [Component1(null), Component2(null)])
. If you were using React without JSX previously, your code should still work.
- Fixed a number of bugs when transforming directories
- No longer re-write
require()
s to be relative unless specified
- Allow reusing the same DOM node to render different components. e.g.
React.renderComponent(<div/>, domNode); React.renderComponent(<span/>, domNode);
will work now.
- 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.
- 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 ofbin/jsx
. - Upgraded our dependencies on Commoner and Recast so they use a different directory for their cache.
- Freeze our Esprima dependency.
- Improved compatibility with other coding styles (specifically, multiple assignments with a single
var
).
- Switch from using the browserified build to shipping individual modules. This allows react-tools to be used with browserify.
- Fix bug in packaging resulting in broken module.
- Initial public release
