βοΈ React
An important TypeScript release that will allow React to be able to declare its own valid JSX types. It is planned to use this new feature as soon as possible in React typedefs, which have already been forked to continue to support older versions (TypeScript <= 5.0).
There are good reasons to adopt TypeScript 5.1+ as soon as possible. It unlocks among other things:
- the ability to use a React Server Component
async
in JSX without TypeScript errors or workaround. - the ability to return all valid types for
ReactNode
(string, array, boolean...) without needing a fragment (details). - other interesting improvements around JSX: namespaced attributes and linked editing (VSCode).
Breaking React Query's API on purpose
React-Query will remove the callbacks (onSuccess
, onError
, onSettled
) from the useQuery
hook with v5. Dominik explains this choice and suggest alternatives more adapted to common cases, like displaying a toast. A controversial but necessary decision because these APIs were often misused. Note: callbacks are kept for useMutation
.
