package.json devDependencies for React outdated?

[rsokz]

Intended outcome:

An error is stated when trying to use React hooks:

Hooks can only be called inside the body of a function component.

I believe the cause may be react & react-dom devDependency mismatch.

Actual outcome:

Thanks to @ryancogswell for the catch.

The devDependencies in package.json have React listed as: 16.5.2

"react": "16.5.2", "react-dom": "16.8.1"

This may be causing an issue with React hooks.

How to reproduce the issue:

Open package.json

Possibly related issue: https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/14823

Version

• apollo-client@2.4.12
• react-apollo@2.4.1

I created a PR, but the builds are failing. Maybe someone can help with the breaking changes. 😉

This is breaking my stuff too. Hope we see an update soon.

They commented my PR that they are working on it.
I'm also hoping that the update will come soon.

PR #2892 is open and tracking the changes needed to update react.

Is there a workaround for this?

[blakedietz]

Bump, is there a workaround for this?

Same issue here :( quite desperate to find a workaround.

I think there is no other solution than waiting for version 3.0.0. I think it will not take that long anymore.
