feat(deps)!: update React dependencies to v19 by SamTV12345 · Pull Request #12628 · patternfly/patternfly-react · GitHub

What: Closes #11371

Updates the repo to React 19 and drops React 17 from the supported peer range:

react/react-dom 19.2.8 and @types/react/@types/react-dom 19.2.x in the workspace root and the integration demo app
all packages and the package generator template now declare "react": "^18 || ^19" peer dependencies (breaking)
NumberInputProps omits the div onChange, which conflicts with the stricter event types in @types/react@19 (same pattern as SearchInput, Slider, CalendarMonth). This was the only type error in the workspace.
the MenuToggleInForm example uses React.JSX.Element, the global JSX namespace is gone in @types/react@19
snapshots regenerated for the new useId format
the Select template tests no longer use waitForElementToBeRemoved: React 19 flushes the unmount inside the awaited user-event call, so the wait either throws "already removed" or times out. I compared against a React 18 checkout, the component behavior (open/close, aria-expanded) is unchanged, only the flush timing moved.

Getting yarn build:docs to work on React 19 needed three more fixes:

react-table: mergeProps let lodash deep-merge into React elements. React 19 turns the element owner chain into plain objects (previously FiberNode), so SSR of the deprecated Table walked the entire rendered tree per cell and hung or ran out of memory — this froze the docs prerender at /components/table/react-deprecated. Elements are now kept by reference; the LegacyTableActions example goes from 44s to 87ms in SSR with identical HTML. Unit tests added.
react-tokens: the new switch component tokens generated export const switch = ..., a syntax error that also breaks the docs build on main. Reserved words now get a prefixed local binding that is re-exported under the original name, so the public API is unchanged.
docs framework: react-ssr-prepass@1.6.0 (latest) reads ReactCurrentDispatcher, which React 19 no longer exposes, and the project looks unmaintained. It was only used to await AsyncComponent.preload() before renderToString, and the loading-state render already triggers preload() itself, so a yarn patch (.yarn/patches) replaces it with re-rendering until no loading placeholder is left. I can open the same change against the documentation-framework repo so the patch can be dropped again.

Tested locally: esm/cjs build, jest, demo app build, the full cypress integration suite and yarn build:docs (1273 pages prerendered, no loading placeholders left in public/).

Additional issues: @patternfly/documentation-framework still declares react: ^17 || ^18 peer dependencies (warning only under yarn 4) and needs a bump in the framework repo.

CodeRabbit blocks several paths by default. You can override this behavior by explicitly including those paths in the path filters. For example, including **/dist/** will override the default block on the dist directory, by removing the pattern from both the lists.

Walkthrough

The repository now uses React 19 dependencies and types. Package peer dependencies support React 18 and 19. React element merging, token exports, and Select tests were updated for React 19 compatibility.

Changes

React 19 compatibility

Layer / File(s)	Summary
React dependency and peer range alignment package.json, packages/*/package.json, packages/react-integration/demo-app-ts/package.json, scripts/generators/package/package.json.hbs, .gitignore	Repository and demo dependencies now use React 19. Package and generated-package peer dependencies now support React 18 and 19. The Yarn patches directory is trackable, and the documentation framework uses a patched resolution.
React type compatibility packages/react-core/src/components/MenuToggle/examples/MenuToggleInForm.tsx, packages/react-core/src/components/NumberInput/NumberInput.tsx	The example uses React.JSX.Element. NumberInputProps excludes the inherited HTML div onChange property.
React element-safe prop merging packages/react-table/src/components/Table/base/merge-props.ts, packages/react-table/src/components/Table/base/__tests__/merge-props.test.tsx	mergeProps preserves React elements during deep merges and applies the same customizer to all merge paths. Tests cover plain props, class names, children, and arbitrary React element values.
Reserved-word token exports packages/react-tokens/scripts/writeTokens.mjs	Generated ESM and declaration exports use local names with an underscore for reserved token names while preserving the public export name.
Select test behavior updates packages/react-templates/src/components/Select/__tests__/*	Select tests remove unused wait utilities and assert menu closure and selected toggle content directly.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b4d26

The PR upgrades the supported React versions and applies the necessary compatibility updates across packages, templates, tests, and documentation builds; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Bump react, react-dom, @types/react and @types/react-dom to v19 in the workspace and the integration demo app, and update the peer ranges of all packages and the package generator template to ^18 || ^19. NumberInputProps drops the conflicting div onChange (stricter event types in @types/react@19), the MenuToggleInForm example uses the scoped React.JSX namespace, snapshots are regenerated for the new useId format and the Select template tests no longer rely on React 18 deferring unmounts past awaited user events. BREAKING CHANGE: React 17 is no longer supported, the react and react-dom peer dependencies are now ^18 || ^19.

lodash's deep merge recursed into React elements passed through cell props and transform results. React 19 turned the element owner chain into plain objects, so the merge walked the entire rendered tree per cell and server-side rendering of the deprecated Table hung or ran out of memory. Elements are now kept by reference instead of being spread or merged into.

The new switch component tokens generated `export const switch = ...`, which is a syntax error that breaks consumers of the token files, including the docs build. Reserved words now get a prefixed local binding that is re-exported under the original name, keeping the public API unchanged.

react-ssr-prepass reads ReactCurrentDispatcher from the React internals, which React 19 no longer exposes, so the docs prerender crashed. It was only used to await AsyncComponent.preload() before renderToString, and the loading-state render already triggers preload() itself, so a yarn patch on the documentation-framework replaces it with re-rendering until no loading placeholder is left. The same fix should land in the documentation-framework itself.

…okens A token named `default` would have produced both an aliased default re-export and `export default`, which is a duplicate export. The alias is now skipped for `default`, and `eval`/`arguments` (invalid binding names in strict mode) are treated as reserved as well.
