As you probably know, React.js just had a new release the new version 17.0.0+. Although there are no new features, something I've been already testing is the new JSX Transform and how it affects a lot your application. So, in this article, I'll show just ONE command to update all the imports and explore this new version.
Why
In particular, React 17 is a “stepping stone” release that makes it safer to embed a tree managed by one version of React inside a tree managed by a different version of React. It also makes it easier to embed React into apps built with other technologies.
As I wrote in the beginning, there are no new features, but this version is already focusing on upgrade the experience of React as a whole, preparing for the v18.
