React 17

[birge]

React 17 is around the corner and this package still relies on the unsafe componentWillRecieveProps. I attempted to make a pr to mark it as unsafe but this breaks with pre 16 react versions. Can we move forward and remove support for pre 16 react? If not switching to componentDidUpdate in this PR #14 seems like the logical way forward.

I'm not sure how accurate "around the corner" is.

As for #14, see #14 (comment).

Do we expect to have React 17 support?

[ljharb]

I do expect to have it.

Landing here due to incorrect peer dependenciy warnings from yarn install for react and react-dom, would be great to get this resolved!

[ljharb]

@mhatvan they're currently correct warnings.

Is this on the roadmap guys?

npm ERR! Found: react@17.0.2 npm ERR! node_modules/react npm ERR! react@"^17.0.2" from the root project npm ERR! npm ERR! Could not resolve dependency: npm ERR! peer react@"^0.14 || ^15 || ^16" from react-with-direction@1.3.1

react@17 unsupported..

Please add support for react 17

Yeah, the warning is correct 😄 And it should be solved by the airbnb team by updating peerDependency at package.json.

It's a sad thing that so huge a company doesn't care about it.

@balovbohdan thats hostile, untrue, and unnecessary. Everybody cares a lot, which is why we won’t update the peer dep until we’re able to test it. It would be reckless to do so otherwise.

Yep, you're right. But this may be to so complex as expected. React 18 is rather close to getting launched, and folks are still not able to migrate to React 17. It's not correct to go with this warning, as it means dependency is not correct and something may get broken.

[ljharb]

Correct. Your choices remain to stay on react 16, or stop using this library.
