Upgrade in ReactJS
✅ Upgrade ReactJS
Upgrading ReactJS ensures that you get the latest features, performance improvements, and security patches.
📌 1. Check the Current Version
You can check your current React version using the following command:
npm list react
Or using yarn:
yarn list react
📌 2. Upgrade React to the Latest Version
➡️ Using npm:
npm install react@latest react-dom@latest
➡️ Using yarn:
yarn add react@latest react-dom@latest
📌 3. Upgrade Other React Packages (Optional)
If you're using additional libraries like react-router-dom or redux, update them too:
npm install react-router-dom@latest redux@latest
Or using yarn:
yarn add react-router-dom@latest redux@latest
📌 4. Clear Cache (If Facing Issues)
Sometimes, clearing the npm cache helps with dependency issues:
npm cache clean --force
Or for yarn:
yarn cache clean
📌 5. Verify the Version After Upgrading
After the upgrade, check the installed version again:
npm list react
npx react -v
📌 6. Update React Scripts (If Using Create React App)
If you're using Create React App, update react-scripts
:
npm install react-scripts@latest
Or using yarn:
yarn add react-scripts@latest
📌 7. Troubleshooting After Upgrade
If you experience issues after upgrading:
Delete the
node_modules
andpackage-lock.json
:
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
Reinstall dependencies:
npm install
Run the app:
npm start
📌 8. Additional Tips
