React 19 is a major update released in 2024, introducing several new features and

improvements aimed at performance, DX (developer experience), and simplifying state and


UI management.

Here's a quick overview of what's new in React 19:

✅ 1. Actions (New Data Mutations API)


●​ A new way to handle form submissions and mutations.​

●​ Similar to how frameworks like Remix handle forms.​

●​ Encourages progressive enhancement: works without JavaScript too.​

js
CopyEdit
export async function action(formData) {
// handle form submission server-side
}

✅ 2. use Hook (Now Stable)


●​ Allows you to suspend rendering until a promise resolves.​

●​ Works great with async server functions and streaming.​

js
CopyEdit
const user = use(fetchUser(id)); // waits until data is ready

✅ 3. Document Metadata Management


●​ Now supports <title>, <meta>, etc. updates directly from components.​

jsx
CopyEdit
<Title>My Page</Title>
<Meta name="description" content="Awesome app!" />
✅ 4. React Compiler (Preview)
●​ An automatic compiler that optimizes hooks.​

●​ Removes the need to manage dependencies in useEffect, useCallback, etc.​

js
CopyEdit
useEffect(() => {
doSomething(x, y); // no need for dependency array
});

✅ 5. Improved Server Components (RSC)


●​ Better support for React Server Components with granular loading.​

●​ Optimized for frameworks like Next.js and Remix.​

✅ 6. Built-in Form Enhancements


●​ HTML <form> elements now work better with React state and actions.​

●​ Seamless integration with Actions API.​

✅ 7. New <Form /> Component


●​ A React component replacement for HTML forms.​

●​ Supports async/streaming submissions out-of-the-box.​

jsx
CopyEdit
<Form action={myAction}>
<input name="title" />
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</Form>

✅ 8. Better Suspense & Streaming


●​ Faster hydration and loading via streaming HTML.​

●​ Improved UX with partial page rendering.​

🔧 Minor Improvements
●​ React 19 uses React DOM 19, which includes:​

○​ Better hydration logic​

○​ More informative console warnings​

○​ Experimental support for progressive hydration​

🛠️ Migration Notes
●​ Mostly backward compatible.​

●​ Some APIs (like useTransition) have improved under-the-hood.​

●​ Opt into Actions and Compiler when ready.​
