Hi everyone!
🗓️ React Advanced London - 🇬🇧 London - 28 Nov & 1 Dec. Complete lineup now available! Code "TWIR" for 10% off.
Hi everyone!
Wondering why the newsletter is late this week?
Well, we had good reasons!
React v19.2 has just been released with the highly anticipated <Activity> component, useEffectEvent hook, and more!
React Native also had exciting updates, notably an OS from Amazon with first-class React Native support, and upcoming solutions to integrate even more tightly with native platforms.
Don't forget that React Conf starts next week, on October 7. The schedule is online, full of interesting talks, and we can expect more exciting announcements!
Hi everyone!
As promised, this week is quite exciting, with a very powerful React core <Activity> component now in canary, close to becoming stable. We also have a massive Expo SDK 54 release!
npm supply chain attacks continue, this time with a Shai-Hulud worm that infects open-source maintainers and automatically publishes compromised packages. Great timing for pnpm 10.16 to come up with a new mitigation option.
Hi everyone!
This week is relatively calm in terms of React news, but I’m saving an exciting React core update for next week, so don't miss my next email 👀!
On the React Native side, we have so many links that it’s a bit overwhelming 😆 And Expo SDK 54 is not even out yet!
Beware of the massive npm supply chain attack affecting very popular packages such as chalk and debug. To mitigate the impact of compromised dependencies, package managers such as pnpm and Yarn are considering an option to avoid installing freshly published packages. This could give enough time for security scanners to report vulnerabilities.
Hi everyone!
This week, we have a very diverse set of React news, but my eyes are on the React Native announcements made at React Universe Conf. Apparently, React Native 1.0 is on the horizon, and we have a bunch of related memes!
Hi everyone!
It seems that the React community is already back from vacation, as we have a whole series of interesting articles and releases. I also found interesting PRs and discussions to check out!
Nx user? Beware of the current critical supply chain attack.
Hi everyone!
This week, we have a few interesting React releases, many of them from the TanStack ecosystem. I also found great articles and interesting PRs to look at.
On the React Native side, reducing iOS build times will be a very welcome improvement, and Rozenite could significantly improve the React Native DX too!
A TC39 meeting is in progress, and I’ve also heard TS 5.9 and Node 22.18 (the first LTS to unflag type stripping) are both around the corner!
The newsletter will be taking a well-deserved 2-week break 🏝️
We'll be back on August 20. Until then, keep Reacting ✌️
Hi everyone!
Apparently, not everyone is on vacation yet because it's a great week.
On the React side, we have an early version of React Server Components support in React Router, and a new comprehensive React Compiler docs.
It's even more exciting for React Native developers: Reanimated v4 is now stable, and Screens now support native tabs, coming soon in Expo!
I also take the opportunity to warn that an npm phishing attack is currently in progress, targeting maintainers of popular packages. Don't trust any email coming from npmjs.org, they are spoofed.
Hi everyone!
It's been a hot C° week here, but pretty calm in terms of React news. We still got various little releases, interesting blog posts and weak signals that show us what the future might look like.
On the React Native side, the community is adopting Nitro Modules in various libraries, and Skia got built-in support for Lottie animations.
ES2025 has been approved, and TS 5.9 beta should come anytime soon.
Hi everyone!
This week is relatively calm in the React ecosystem, but we still have various interesting blog posts and releases. Maybe we'll soon get some exciting news from React Summit that's about on Friday!
On the React Native side, all the devs are already working on iOS 26 Liquid Glass support and other things announced by Apple yesterday. This new design thing is rather controversial and subject to a lot of mockery 😂. React Native 0.80 is just around the corner, I'll keep all this for later, but you can get a sneak peek in Alex Hunt talk at App.js.
The JS ecosystem has been rather active with Oxlint 1.0 and various interesting Node.js news.
