Introducing Zero-Bundle-Size React Server Components — Taking a fairly long holiday means news can break and there’s enough time for the target audience to absorb and respond to it. Just as we headed off in 2020, Dan Abramov and Lauren Tan of the React Core Team quietly dropped this piece hinting at an interesting new direction for React to take.The big idea is 'React...

React 17.0 Released — Two months ago, we featured the RC release of React 17, but now it’s here for real. Not a lot has changed with the focus on quiet, subtle changes, making apps easier to upgrade gradually in future, and also to make it easier to embed React apps into apps built with other technologies.

Introducing the New JSX Transform — A rare post from the official React blog which digs into React 17’s support for a new version of the JSX transform (that which converts JSX code into actual JavaScript). The new transform doesn’t change the code in your apps in any way but does change what code is produced from your JSX to not require React to...

React 17.0 Release Candidate: No New Features but Still Lots That's Interesting — When a new major release comes along after two-and-a-half years the absence of new features is going to disappoint many. However, the ability to incrementally upgrade React sites both now and in the future is welcome news. There's still lots about which to be excited, so definitely have a skim at the...

React v16.13.0 Released — A new release of React but it’s not a big one. There are some bug fixes but mostly a handful of new deprecation warnings to pave the way for the future React 17. So upgrade your existing React 16 apps and check how they fare.

Building Great User Experiences with Concurrent Mode and Suspense — If you watched some of the ReactConf talks (linked last week), you may have seen how Facebook has been leaning on the latest React features in its redevelopment. This post goes into depth on the topic, and while it’s aimed at library authors, most React developers will find something of interest here.

Experimentally Introducing Concurrent Mode — Unveiled at ReactConf comes a set of much awaited, new experimental features that will help apps stay responsive and gracefully adjust to the user’s device capabilities and network speed. The React team notes, however, that “it’s very early and … primarily aimed at early adopters and people who are curious”.

Preparing for the Future with React Prereleases — The React project is introducing official pre-release channels as part of a drive to share upcoming changes (mostly aimed at framework, library or developer tool creators) more quickly and definitively. Here’s how it’ll work.

Introducing the New React DevTools — If you’re a React developer, you should be using the DevTools and if you are, they’re now a lot faster and easier to navigate. Here’s a list of all the changes. React 15 and above are supported.Want to get playing right away? There’s now an interactive tutorial so you can learn more about how to use them, and CodeSandbox...

React v16.9 Released and a Roadmap Update — In 16.9, the unsafe lifecycle methods (e.g. componentWillMount) have been renamed (the old names will work with warnings for now), act() will now work with async functions, and there’s a new way to get performance measurements programmatically using <React.Profiler>.More interesting, perhaps, is the “update to the roadmap” later in the post where we find out more...
