Add React 19 as a peer dependency

Oct 13, 2025 by pinkandtrash.com 129 views

Problem Description

When using React 19 with the beautiful-react-hooks library, we encounter a warning indicating that the peer dependencies are not met. This warning is caused by the fact that beautiful-react-hooks is designed to work with React 18.2.0, but we are using React 19.0.0. This issue can be frustrating, especially when working on projects that require the latest version of React.

The Warning

The warning we receive is as follows:

└─┬ beautiful-react-hooks 5.0.2 ├── ✕ unmet peer react@^18.2.0: found 19.0.0 └── ✕ unmet peer react-dom@^18.2.0: found 19.0.0

This warning indicates that beautiful-react-hooks is not compatible with React 19.0.0, and we need to address this issue to resolve the warning.

Solution Description

To resolve this issue, we propose adding React 19 as a peer dependency to the beautiful-react-hooks library. This will ensure that the library is compatible with the latest version of React and will not produce any warnings when used with React 19.

Benefits of the Solution

By adding React 19 as a peer dependency, we can:

Ensure that beautiful-react-hooks is compatible with the latest version of React
Resolve the warning that is currently being produced
Provide a better experience for developers who are using the latest version of React

Alternatives Considered

We have considered the following alternatives:

Downgrade React to 18.2.0: This would require us to downgrade our version of React, which may not be feasible or desirable.
Use a different library: We could consider using a different library that is compatible with React 19. However, this may require significant changes to our codebase and may not be the best solution.
Patch the library: We could attempt to patch the beautiful-react-hooks library to make it compatible with React 19. However, this may be a complex and time-consuming process.

Additional Context

We have not encountered any issues with other libraries or dependencies when using React 19. The issue is specific to the beautiful-react-hooks library and can be resolved by adding React 19 as a peer dependency.

Implementation Plan

To implement this solution, we will:

Add React 19 as a peer dependency: We will add React 19 as a peer dependency to the beautiful-react-hooks library.
Test the library: We will test the library to ensure that it is compatible with React 19 and does not produce any warnings.
Publish the updated library: We will publish the updated library to ensure that all developers have access to the latest version.

Conclusion

In conclusion, adding React 19 as a peer dependency is the best solution to resolve the warning that is currently being produced. This will ensure that beautiful-react-hooks is compatible with the latest version of React and will provide a better experience for developers who are using the latest version of React.

Future Work

In the future, we plan to:

Monitor the library for updates: We will monitor the beautiful-react-hooks library for updates and ensure that it remains compatible with the latest version of React.
Address any issues that arise: We will address any issues that arise when using the library with React 19 and ensure that the library remains stable and reliable.
