v3.3.0

4 years ago

3.3.0 (2019-12-04)

v3.3.0 is a minor release that adds new features, including custom templates and support for the new optional chaining and nullish coalescing operators.

Custom Templates

You can now create a new app using custom templates.

We've published our existing templates as cra-template and cra-template-typescript, but we expect to see many great templates from the community over the coming weeks.

The below command shows how you can create a new app with cra-template-typescript.

npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript

Note that you can omit the prefix cra-template- when specifying which template you would like. For TypeScript users, we're deprecating --typescript in favour of --template typescript.

If you don't set a template, we'll create your new app with cra-template - which is just a new name for our base template.

Optional Chaining and Nullish Coalescing Operators

We now support the optional chaining and nullish coalescing operators!

// Optional chaining
a?.(); // undefined if `a` is null/undefined
b?.c; // undefined if `b` is null/undefined

// Nullish coalescing
undefined ?? 'some other default'; // result: 'some other default'
null ?? 'some other default'; // result: 'some other default'
'' ?? 'some other default'; // result: ''
0 ?? 300; // result: 0
false ?? true; // result: false

If you're using TypeScript, you will need to upgrade your typescript dependency to 3.7.0 or later if you wish to use the new operators.

If you're using Visual Studio Code 1.40 (the latest as of this release) or earlier, you will need to configure your editor if you want it to understand the new operators.

If you're using TypeScript in your project and have already upgrade its version as described above, then you can configure VS Code to Use Workspace Version of TypeScript. If your project isn't using TypeScript, you can use the JavaScript and TypeScript Nightly extension until VS Code releases a newer version including TypeScript 3.7.0 or newer.

Numeric Separators

We've added support for numeric separators to improve readability of numeric literals.

1000000000; // Is this a billion? a hundred millions? Ten millions?
101475938.38; // what scale is this? what power of 10?

1_000_000_000; // Ah, so a billion
101_475_938.38; // And this is hundreds of millions

no-unexpected-multiline

We've removed this rule as it is not compatible with Prettier. If you rely on this rule you can re-enable it by extending our ESLint config and adding the following:

{
  "extends": "react-app",
  "rules": {
    "no-unexpected-multiline": "warn"
  }
}

v3.0.0

3.0.0 (April 22, 2019)

Create React App 3.0 brings some exciting new features including support for Hooks!

Thanks to all the maintainers and contributors who worked so hard on this release! :tada:

Highlights

  • Jest 24: #6278
  • Hooks support: #5997
  • TypeScript linting: #6513
  • browserslist support in @babel/preset-env: #6608
  • Absolute imports using jsconfig.json/tsconfig.json: #6656

Inside any created project that has not been ejected, run:

or

yarn add --exact [email protected]

If you previously ejected but now want to upgrade, one common solution is to find the commits where you ejected (and any subsequent commits changing the configuration), revert them, upgrade, and later optionally eject again. It’s also possible that the feature you ejected for is now supported out of the box.

Breaking Changes

Like any major release, [email protected] contains a few breaking changes. We expect that they won't affect every user, but we recommend you look over this section to see if something is relevant to you. If we missed something, please file a new issue.

Jest 24

We've updated from Jest 23 to get the latest improvements in Jest 24. We've noticed some differences in snapshot serialization in Jest 24, so you may need to adjust your tests slightly once you update. You can read more about what's changed in the Jest 24 blog post.

Hooks support

We now enforce Rules of Hooks with eslint-plugin-react-hooks. If you are breaking any of the rules of Hooks this will cause your build to fail.

TypeScript linting

We now lint TypeScript files. You can see the list of rules we enforce to check if your project is compatible. If you're using Visual Studio Code you can follow our guide to setup up your editor to display lint warnings.

browserslist support in @babel/preset-env

The browserslist config in your package.json is now used to control the output of your JavaScript files. You can use separate configuration for development and production. See here for a good starting point which gives a good development experience, especially when using language features such as async/await, but still provides high compatibility with many browsers in production

Remove --no-watch flag

We've removed the --no-watch flag from the start script in favor of Jest's own --watchAll=false.

New structure in asset-manifest.json

All asset paths have been moved under the files key in asset-manifest.json.

New Features

using jsconfig.json/tsconfig.json

We now support setting baseUrl in jsconfig.json and tsconfig.json. To configure baseUrl to point to the src directory in your JavaScript project, create a jsconfig.json file in your project root:

```json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "src"
  },
  "include": ["src"]
}
```

If you have a TypeScript project you can configure baseUrl the same way in your tsconfig.json.

Currently the only supported options for baseUrl are node_modules (the default) and src.

PostCSS Normalize

You can now include a version of Normalize.css in your project that will use your browserslist setting to generate the appropriate styles for your target browsers. To include it simply add @import-normalize at the top of one of your CSS files.
