Background: State updates that are scheduled in a layout effect (useLayoutEffect or componentDidMount / componentDidUpdate) get processed synchronously by React before it yields to the browser to paint. This is done so that components can adjust their layout (e.g. position and size a tooltip) without any visible shifting being seen by users. This type of update is often called a "nested update" or a "cascading update". Because they delay paint, nested updates are considered expensive and should be avoided when possible. For example, effects that do not impact layout (e.g. adding event handlers, logging impressions) can be safely deferred to the passive effect phase by using useEffect instead. This PR updates the Profiler API to explicitly flag nested updates so they can be monitored for and avoided when possible. Implementation: I considered a few approaches for this. Add a new callback (e.g. onNestedUpdateScheduled) to the Profiler that gets called when a nested updates gets scheduled. Add an additional boolean parameter to the end of existing callbacks (e.g. wasNestedUpdate). Update the phase param to add an additional variant: "mount", "update", or "nested-update" (new). I think the third option makes for the best API so that's what I've implemented in this PR. Because the Profiler API is stable, this change will need to remain behind a feature flag until v18. I've turned the feature flag on for Facebook builds though after confirming that Web Speed does not currently make use of the phase parameter. Quirks: One quirk about the implementation I've chosen is that errors thrown during the layout phase are also reported as nested updates. I believe this is appropriate since these errors get processed synchronously and block paint. Errors thrown during render or from within passive effects are not affected by this change.
React · 
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
- Declarative: React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. Declarative views make your code more predictable, simpler to understand, and easier to debug.
- Component-Based: Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs. Since component logic is written in JavaScript instead of templates, you can easily pass rich data through your app and keep state out of the DOM.
- Learn Once, Write Anywhere: We don't make assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, so you can develop new features in React without rewriting existing code. React can also render on the server using Node and power mobile apps using React Native.

Installation
React has been designed for gradual adoption from the start, and you can use as little or as much React as you need:
- Use Online Playgrounds to get a taste of React.
- Add React to a Website as a
<script>tag in one minute. - Create a New React App if you're looking for a powerful JavaScript toolchain.
You can use React as a <script> tag from a CDN, or as a react package on npm.
Documentation
You can find the React documentation on the website.
Check out the Getting Started page for a quick overview.
The documentation is divided into several sections:
You can improve it by sending pull requests to this repository.
Examples
We have several examples on the website. Here is the first one to get you started:
function HelloMessage({ name }) {
return <div>Hello {name}</div>;
}
ReactDOM.render(
<HelloMessage name="Taylor" />,
document.getElementById('container')
);
This example will render "Hello Taylor" into a container on the page.
You'll notice that we used an HTML-like syntax; we call it JSX. JSX is not required to use React, but it makes code more readable, and writing it feels like writing HTML. If you're using React as a <script> tag, read this section on integrating JSX; otherwise, the recommended JavaScript toolchains handle it automatically.
