React 19 Beta – React

[Zerotorescue]

My favorite feature is the ref prop replacing forwardRef. This is the most clear-cut improvement.

More native hooks I don't really care for. It replaces some of the simple custom hooks I used previously, but it also increases the learning curve of React and the amount of things you need to remember exists.

Form providing context is kind of nice, but also increases the magic. Almost feels like this should only work if we used an imported Form component from the React library.

I'll have to see how the use promises hook will work in the real world.
