@liveblocks/node - npm Package Versions

v0.18.3

• In @liveblocks/react:

  Fixes the "zombie-child" problem that can occur with React 17 or lower. If you’re on React 18: great, you can ignore this! If you’re using React 17 or lower with Liveblocks, we’ll now start to enforce that you pass the unstable_batchedUpdates prop to RoomProvider, so this problem can be circumvented. This small addition may save you hours of debugging time!

  // ⚠️  Only if you’re using React 17 or lower
  import { unstable_batchedUpdates } from "react-dom";  // 👈
  
  <RoomProvider
    id="my-room"
    initialPresence={...}
    initialStorage={...}
    unstable_batchedUpdates={unstable_batchedUpdates}  // 👈
  >
    <App />
  </RoomProvider>

• In @liveblocks/zustand:

  • Fix a confusing error message

v0.18.2

• In @liveblocks/react:

  • Make sure that useOther will not rerender if tracked users already left the room, so that child components won't get rerendered before the parent got the chance to unmount them.
  • Disallow useOther without selector

v0.18.1

• In @liveblocks/react:

  • Fix a bug that could cause an error when patching presence during local development. Not an issue in production builds. (#505)

v0.18.0

For information, please read our Upgrade Guide for 0.18.

New React hooks ✨

• In @liveblocks/react:

  • useStorage
  • useMutation
  • useSelf
  • useOthers
  • useOthersMapped
  • useOthersConnectionIds
  • useOther (singular)

• In @liveblocks/client:

  • New .toImmutable() method on LiveObject, LiveList, and LiveMap lets you work with an immutable representation of the storage objects
  • Improved core performance
  • Reduced bundle size
  • Others only become visible in the others array if their presence is known

Breaking changes

• Remove support for directly importing hooks from @liveblocks/client (e.g. import { useMyPresence } from '@liveblocks/react'). If you’re still using these imports, see the Upgrade Guide for 0.17 for instructions.
• Remove ClientProvider and useClient hook
• Remove defaultPresence and defaultStorageRoot arguments. (Just use initialPresence and initialStorage arguments now.)
• Remove second argument to useMap(), useList(), and useObject().
• Remove new LiveMap(null) support. (Just use new LiveMap() or new LiveMap([]).)
