What problem does it solve?

Upgrading a React 17 codebase to React 18 safely requires careful planning, phased execution, and validation to avoid breaking changes, performance regressions, or SSR incompatibilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides a phased upgrade plan that covers dependencies, rendering API changes, automatic batching, Strict Mode adjustments, testing updates, and React 19 preparation.
  • Includes practical guidance and real-world pitfalls to audit multiple entrypoints, root rendering patterns, and module compatibility.
  • Useful for teams modernizing large React apps, especially those with SSR or custom wrappers, and for validating compatibility before production.
