fix(react): avoid definitely typed errors with @types/react@18

[liamdebeasi]

Issue number: resolves #29178

---

What is the current behavior?

DefinitelyTyped removed the onPointerEnterCaptured and onPointerLeaveCaptured types for @types/react. This caused issues when multiple versions of @types/react are installed where an older version inlined these types, but they did not exist in newer versions.

For Ionic React, we build with React 16 which did inline the types. In an Ionic React starter app we build with React 18 which does not want these types. As a result, there is a type mismatch.

Note that this type change is being reverted in React 16-17 so presumably this issue will go away in its own for those versions. However, developers are building with React 18 too, so this issue will persist for those developers.

However, React 17 should still have this problem (at least until the change is reverted), yet the build here passes. The main difference is that the onPointer{Enter,Leave}Captured event is no longer inlined. After talking with the Stencil team this is the current understanding of why the issue no longer reproduces.

Building with React 17

import type { JSX as LocalJSX } from '@ionic/core/components';
import React from 'react';
import type { IonicReactProps } from './IonicReactProps';
export declare const IonRouterOutlet: React.ForwardRefExoticComponent<Pick<LocalJSX.IonRouterOutlet & {
    basePath?: string | undefined;
    ref?: React.Ref<any> | undefined;
    ionPage?: boolean | undefined;
} & IonicReactProps & Omit<React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLIonRouterOutletElement>, "style" | "placeholder">, "children" | "slot" | "title" | "defaultChecked" | "defaultValue" | "suppressContentEditableWarning" | "suppressHydrationWarning" | "accessKey" | "contentEditable" | "contextMenu" | "dir" | "draggable" | "hidden" | "id" | "lang" | "spellCheck" | "tabIndex" | "translate" | "radioGroup" | "role" | "about" | "datatype" | "inlist" | "prefix" | "property" | "resource" | "typeof" | "vocab" | "autoCapitalize" | "autoCorrect" | "autoSave" | "color" | "itemProp" | "itemScope" | "itemType" | "itemID" | "itemRef" | "results" | "security" | "unselectable" | "inputMode" | "is" | "aria-activedescendant" | "aria-atomic" | "aria-autocomplete" | "aria-busy" | "aria-checked" | "aria-colcount" | "aria-colindex" | "aria-colspan" | "aria-controls" | "aria-current" | "aria-describedby" | "aria-details" | "aria-disabled" | "aria-dropeffect" | "aria-errormessage" | "aria-expanded" | "aria-flowto" | "aria-grabbed" | "aria-haspopup" | "aria-hidden" | "aria-invalid" | "aria-keyshortcuts" | "aria-label" | "aria-labelledby" | "aria-level" | "aria-live" | "aria-modal" | "aria-multiline" | "aria-multiselectable" | "aria-orientation" | "aria-owns" | "aria-placeholder" | "aria-posinset" | "aria-pressed" | "aria-readonly" | "aria-relevant" | "aria-required" | "aria-roledescription" | "aria-rowcount" | "aria-rowindex" | "aria-rowspan" | "aria-selected" | "aria-setsize" | "aria-sort" | "aria-valuemax" | "aria-valuemin" | "aria-valuenow" | "aria-valuetext" | "dangerouslySetInnerHTML" | "onCopy" | "onCopyCapture" | "onCut" | "onCutCapture" | "onPaste" | "onPasteCapture" | "onCompositionEnd" | "onCompositionEndCapture" | "onCompositionStart" | "onCompositionStartCapture" | "onCompositionUpdate" | "onCompositionUpdateCapture" | "onFocus" | "onFocusCapture" | "onBlur" | "onBlurCapture" | "onChange" | "onChangeCapture" | "onBeforeInput" | "onBeforeInputCapture" | "onInput" | "onInputCapture" | "onReset" | "onResetCapture" | "onSubmit" | "onSubmitCapture" | "onInvalid" | "onInvalidCapture" | "onLoad" | "onLoadCapture" | "onError" | "onErrorCapture" | "onKeyDown" | "onKeyDownCapture" | "onKeyPress" | "onKeyPressCapture" | "onKeyUp" | "onKeyUpCapture" | "onAbort" | "onAbortCapture" | "onCanPlay" | "onCanPlayCapture" | "onCanPlayThrough" | "onCanPlayThroughCapture" | "onDurationChange" | "onDurationChangeCapture" | "onEmptied" | "onEmptiedCapture" | "onEncrypted" | "onEncryptedCapture" | "onEnded" | "onEndedCapture" | "onLoadedData" | "onLoadedDataCapture" | "onLoadedMetadata" | "onLoadedMetadataCapture" | "onLoadStart" | "onLoadStartCapture" | "onPause" | "onPauseCapture" | "onPlay" | "onPlayCapture" | "onPlaying" | "onPlayingCapture" | "onProgress" | "onProgressCapture" | "onRateChange" | "onRateChangeCapture" | "onSeeked" | "onSeekedCapture" | "onSeeking" | "onSeekingCapture" | "onStalled" | "onStalledCapture" | "onSuspend" | "onSuspendCapture" | "onTimeUpdate" | "onTimeUpdateCapture" | "onVolumeChange" | "onVolumeChangeCapture" | "onWaiting" | "onWaitingCapture" | "onAuxClick" | "onAuxClickCapture" | "onClick" | "onClickCapture" | "onContextMenu" | "onContextMenuCapture" | "onDoubleClick" | "onDoubleClickCapture" | "onDrag" | "onDragCapture" | "onDragEnd" | "onDragEndCapture" | "onDragEnter" | "onDragEnterCapture" | "onDragExit" | "onDragExitCapture" | "onDragLeave" | "onDragLeaveCapture" | "onDragOver" | "onDragOverCapture" | "onDragStart" | "onDragStartCapture" | "onDrop" | "onDropCapture" | "onMouseDown" | "onMouseDownCapture" | "onMouseEnter" | "onMouseLeave" | "onMouseMove" | "onMouseMoveCapture" | "onMouseOut" | "onMouseOutCapture" | "onMouseOver" | "onMouseOverCapture" | "onMouseUp" | "onMouseUpCapture" | "onSelect" | "onSelectCapture" | "onTouchCancel" | "onTouchCancelCapture" | "onTouchEnd" | "onTouchEndCapture" | "onTouchMove" | "onTouchMoveCapture" | "onTouchStart" | "onTouchStartCapture" | "onPointerDown" | "onPointerDownCapture" | "onPointerMove" | "onPointerMoveCapture" | "onPointerUp" | "onPointerUpCapture" | "onPointerCancel" | "onPointerCancelCapture" | "onPointerEnter" | "onPointerEnterCapture" | "onPointerLeave" | "onPointerLeaveCapture" | "onPointerOver" | "onPointerOverCapture" | "onPointerOut" | "onPointerOutCapture" | "onGotPointerCapture" | "onGotPointerCaptureCapture" | "onLostPointerCapture" | "onLostPointerCaptureCapture" | "onScroll" | "onScrollCapture" | "onWheel" | "onWheelCapture" | "onAnimationStart" | "onAnimationStartCapture" | "onAnimationEnd" | "onAnimationEndCapture" | "onAnimationIteration" | "onAnimationIterationCapture" | "onTransitionEnd" | "onTransitionEndCapture" | keyof IonicReactProps | keyof LocalJSX.IonRouterOutlet | "basePath" | "ionPage"> & React.RefAttributes<HTMLIonRouterOutletElement>>;

Building with React 18

export declare const IonRouterOutlet: React.ForwardRefExoticComponent<Omit<LocalJSX.IonRouterOutlet & {
    basePath?: string | undefined;
    ref?: React.Ref<any> | undefined;
    ionPage?: boolean | undefined;
} & IonicReactProps & Omit<React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLIonRouterOutletElement>, "style" | "placeholder">, "ref"> & React.RefAttributes<HTMLIonRouterOutletElement>>;

What is the new behavior?

• Updated types in our React test apps and verified that the issue reproduces there without this fix.
• Updated Ionic React and Ionic React Router to build with React 17.

Does this introduce a breaking change?

• Yes
• No

Ionic v7 expects React 17 or newer, so building with React 17 instead of React 16 is not a breaking change.

Tested changes locally, build and type checking looks good. Thanks for jumping on this!

this fix is not working with react18
