react-server-dom-webpack
Advanced tools
React Server Components bindings for DOM using Webpack. This is intended to be integrated into meta-frameworks. It is not intended to be imported directly.
The react-server-dom-webpack package is designed to enable Server-Driven Rendering (SDR) with React. It allows you to render React components on the server and send them to the client as a stream, which can then be hydrated on the client side. This approach can improve performance and user experience by allowing the server to handle the initial rendering and the client to take over once the initial HTML is loaded.
Server-Side Rendering
This feature allows you to render React components on the server side. The code sample demonstrates how to use ReactDOMServer to render a React component to a string.
const React = require('react');
const ReactDOMServer = require('react-dom/server');
const App = require('./App');
const serverRender = () => {
return ReactDOMServer.renderToString(<App />);
};
console.log(serverRender());
Streaming HTML to Client
This feature allows you to stream HTML content to the client. The code sample demonstrates how to use ReactDOMServer's renderToNodeStream method to stream a React component to the client using an Express server.
const React = require('react');
const ReactDOMServer = require('react-dom/server');
const App = require('./App');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
const stream = ReactDOMServer.renderToNodeStream(<App />);
res.type('html');
stream.pipe(res);
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
});
Hydration on Client Side
This feature allows the client to take over the server-rendered HTML and make it interactive. The code sample demonstrates how to use the hydrateRoot method from react-dom/client to hydrate a React component on the client side.
import React from 'react';
import { hydrateRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
import App from './App';
hydrateRoot(document.getElementById('root'), <App />);
Next.js is a popular React framework that provides server-side rendering and static site generation out of the box. It offers a more comprehensive solution compared to react-server-dom-webpack, including routing, API routes, and more.
Gatsby is a React-based framework for building static sites. It focuses on performance and offers a rich plugin ecosystem. Unlike react-server-dom-webpack, Gatsby is primarily geared towards static site generation rather than server-driven rendering.
React Snap is a pre-rendering solution for React apps that uses headless Chrome to generate static HTML files. It is simpler to set up compared to react-server-dom-webpack but does not offer the same level of server-driven rendering capabilities.

19.0.0 (December 5, 2024)
Below is a list of all new features, APIs, deprecations, and breaking changes. Read React 19 release post and React 19 upgrade guide for more information.
Note: To help make the upgrade to React 19 easier, we’ve published a react@18.3 release that is identical to 18.2 but adds warnings for deprecated APIs and other changes that are needed for React 19. We recommend upgrading to React 18.3.1 first to help identify any issues before upgrading to React 19.
startTransition
can now accept async functions. Functions passed to startTransition
are called “Actions”. A given Transition can include one or more Actions which update state in the background and update the UI with one commit. In addition to updating state, Actions can now perform side effects including async requests, and the Action will wait for the work to finish before finishing the Transition. This feature allows Transitions to include side effects like fetch()
in the pending state, and provides support for error handling, and optimistic updates.useActionState
: is a new hook to order Actions inside of a Transition with access to the state of the action, and the pending state. It accepts a reducer that can call Actions, and the initial state used for first render. It also accepts an optional string that is used if the action is passed to a form action
prop to support progressive enhancement in forms.useOptimistic
: is a new hook to update state while a Transition is in progress. It returns the state, and a set function that can be called inside a transition to “optimistically” update the state to expected final value immediately while the Transition completes in the background. When the transition finishes, the state is updated to the new value.use
: is a new API that allows reading resources in render. In React 19, use
accepts a promise or Context. If provided a promise, use
will suspend until a value is resolved. use
can only be used in render but can be called conditionally.ref
as a prop: Refs can now be used as props, removing the need for forwardRef
.<form> action
prop: Form Actions allow you to manage forms automatically and integrate with useFormStatus
. When a <form> action
succeeds, React will automatically reset the form for uncontrolled components. The form can be reset manually with the new requestFormReset
API.<button> and <input> formAction
prop: Actions can be passed to the formAction
prop to configure form submission behavior. This allows using different Actions depending on the input.useFormStatus
: is a new hook that provides the status of the parent <form> action
, as if the form was a Context provider. The hook returns the values: pending
, data
, method
, and action
.<head>
section of the document.<head>
on the client before revealing the content of a Suspense boundary that depends on that stylesheet.preinit
, preload
, prefetchDNS
, and preconnect
APIs to optimize initial page loads by moving discovery of additional resources like fonts out of stylesheet loading. They can also be used to prefetch resources used by an anticipated navigation.prerender
and prerenderToNodeStream
APIs for static site generation. They are designed to work with streaming environments like Node.js Streams and Web Streams. Unlike renderToString
, they wait for data to load for HTML generation.element.ref
access: React 19 supports ref as a prop, so we’re deprecating element.ref
in favor of element.props.ref
. Accessing will result in a warning.react-test-renderer
: In React 19, react-test-renderer logs a deprecation warning and has switched to concurrent rendering for web usage. We recommend migrating your tests to @testing-library/react or @testing-library/react-nativeReact 19 brings in a number of breaking changes, including the removals of long-deprecated APIs. We recommend first upgrading to 18.3.1
, where we've added additional deprecation warnings. Check out the upgrade guide for more details and guidance on codemodding.
onUncaughtError
and onCaughtError
methods to createRoot
and hydrateRoot
to customize this error handling.propTypes
: Using propTypes
will now be silently ignored. If required, we recommend migrating to TypeScript or another type-checking solution.defaultProps
for functions: ES6 default parameters can be used in place. Class components continue to support defaultProps
since there is no ES6 alternative.contextTypes
and getChildContext
: Legacy Context for class components has been removed in favor of the contextType
API.React.createFactory
: Now that JSX is broadly supported, all createFactory
usage can be migrated to JSX components.react-test-renderer/shallow
: This has been a re-export of react-shallow-renderer since React 18. If needed, you can continue to use the third-party package directly. We recommend using @testing-library/react or @testing-library/react-native instead.react-dom/test-utils
: We’ve moved act
from react-dom/test-utils
to react. All other utilities have been removed.ReactDOM
.render
, ReactDOM
.hydrate
: These have been removed in favor of the concurrent equivalents: ReactDOM
.createRoot
and ReactDOM.hydrateRoot
.unmountComponentAtNode
: Removed in favor of root.unmount()
.ReactDOM
.findDOMNode
: You can replace ReactDOM
.findDOMNode
with DOM Refs.<Context>
as a provider: You can now render <Context>
as a provider instead of <Context.Provider>
.useDeferredValue
initial value argument: When provided, useDeferredValue
will return the initial value for the initial render of a component, then schedule a re-render in the background with the deferredValue
returned.useMemo
and useCallback
will now reuse the memoized results from the first render, during the second render. Additionally, StrictMode will now double-invoke ref callback functions on initial mount.The most common changes can be codemodded with npx types-react-codemod@latest preset-19 ./path-to-your-react-ts-files
