Are there any plans to update nteract modules to support react 17/18?

[Emmanuella-Aninye]

Hi Team, I'm looking to update my repo to the latest react version. I began getting errors that the nteract dependencies are tied to React 16. Are there any plans to upgrade in the future?

There's no plans at the moment but that's largely limited by the amount of time available.

Would you be interested in contributing a PR with the upgrades?

[Emmanuella-Aninye]

I'd be open to helping upgrade if I could get some guidance on what to do!

Which of the packages are you dependent on?

You can follow the contributing guidelines to get setup with the repo (https://github.com/nteract/nteract/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).

After that, you can look for occurrences of "react" :"x" in the package.json files across the repo and update the x to the desired version.

You can validate the changes by running yarn && yarn start and validating that you can run code and interact with the UI in a notebook.

@Emmanuella-Aninye Cool! Note that some of these packages: @nteract/jupyter-widgets, @nteract/outputs and @nteract/transform-vdom live in the nteract/outputs repo at https://github.com/nteract/outputs
