render-with-react17

A simple util component to render components incompatible with React 18.x.

This library was created to facilitate the migration of applications to React 18, in case not all components that you use in your application (mainly external) already work with the new version of React.

Installation

To install the hook you can use npm:

npm i render-with-react17

or Yarn if you prefer:

yarn add render-with-react17

Usage

The first step is to import the component:

import { RenderWithReact17 } from 'render-with-react17';

Then move the rendering of the component that does not work inside the node RenderWithReact17.

const Component = () => (
  <RenderWithReact17>
    <NotWorkingComponent />
  </RenderWithReact17>
);

The important thing is to render in this way only the final component, which has no type dependency such as global state management - context, store, etc.

This means that passing state via the RenderWithReact17 component does not work at the moment. If a component inside RenderWithReact17 uses e.g. useContext - this will not work. Therefore it is important to use this library to render components which all data receives with props.
