The "next" prerelease channel represents what will be published the next time we do a stable release. We publish a new "next" release every day using a timed CI workflow. When we introduced this prerelease channel a few years ago, another name we considered was "canary". But I proposed "next" instead to create a greater distinction between this channel and the "experimental" channel (which is published at the same cadence, but includes extra experimental features), because some other projects use "canary" to refer to releases that are more unstable than how we would use it. The main downside of "next" is someone might mistakenly assume the name refers to Next.js. We were aware of this risk at the time but didn't think it would be an issue in practice. However, colloquially, we've ended up referring to this as the "canary" channel anyway to avoid precisely that confusion. So after further discussion, we've agreed to rename to "canary". This affects the label used in the version string (e.g. `18.3.0-next-a1c2d3e4` becomes `18.3.0-canary-a1c2d3e4`) as well as the npm dist tags used to publish the releases. For now, I've chosen to publish the canaries using both `@canary` and `@next` dist tags, so that downstream consumers who might depend on `@next` have time to adjust. We can remove that later after the change has been communicated. |

React ·
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
- Declarative: React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. Declarative views make your code more predictable, simpler to understand, and easier to debug.
- Component-Based: Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs. Since component logic is written in JavaScript instead of templates, you can easily pass rich data through your app and keep the state out of the DOM.
- Learn Once, Write Anywhere: We don't make assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, so you can develop new features in React without rewriting existing code. React can also render on the server using Node and power mobile apps using React Native.
Learn how to use React in your project.
Installation
React has been designed for gradual adoption from the start, and you can use as little or as much React as you need:
- Use Online Playgrounds to get a taste of React.
- Add React to a Website as a
<script>
tag in one minute. - Create a New React App if you're looking for a powerful JavaScript toolchain.
You can use React as a <script>
tag from a CDN, or as a react
package on npm.
Documentation
You can find the React documentation on the website.
Check out the Getting Started page for a quick overview.
The documentation is divided into several sections:
You can improve it by sending pull requests to this repository.
Examples
We have several examples on the website. Here is the first one to get you started:
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
function HelloMessage({ name }) {
return <div>Hello {name}</div>;
}
const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('container'));
root.render(<HelloMessage name="Taylor" />);
This example will render "Hello Taylor" into a container on the page.
You'll notice that we used an HTML-like syntax; we call it JSX. JSX is not required to use React, but it makes code more readable, and writing it feels like writing HTML. If you're using React as a <script>
tag, read this section on integrating JSX; otherwise, the recommended JavaScript toolchains handle it automatically.
Contributing
The main purpose of this repository is to continue evolving React core, making it faster and easier to use.
