Removes support for using arbitrary promises as the type of a React
element. Instead, promises must be wrapped in React.lazy. This gives us
flexibility later if we need to change the protocol.
The reason is that promises do not provide a way to call their
constructor multiple times. For example:
const promiseForA = new Promise(resolve => {
fetchA(a => resolve(a));
});
Given a reference to `promiseForA`, there's no way to call `fetchA`
again. Calling `then` on the promise doesn't run the constructor again;
it only attaches another listener.
In the future we will likely introduce an API like `React.eager` that
is similar to `lazy` but eagerly calls the constructor. That gives us
the ability to call the constructor multiple times. E.g. to increase
the priority, or to retry if the first operation failed.
react
React is a JavaScript library for creating user interfaces.
The react package contains only the functionality necessary to define React components. It is typically used together with a React renderer like react-dom for the web, or react-native for the native environments.
Note: by default, React will be in development mode. The development version includes extra warnings about common mistakes, whereas the production version includes extra performance optimizations and strips all error messages. Don't forget to use the production build when deploying your application.
Example Usage
var React = require('react');
