When implementing passive effects we did a pretty massive oversight. While the passive effect is scheduled into its own scheduler task, the scheduler doesn't always yield to the browser if it has time left. That means that if you have a fast commit phase, it might try to squeeze in the passive effects in the same frame but those then might end being very heavy. We had `requestPaint()` for this but that was only implemented for the `isInputPending` experiment. It wasn't thought we needed it for the regular scheduler because it yields "every frame" anyway - but it doesn't yield every task. While the `isInputPending` experiment showed that it wasn't actually any significant impact, and it was better to keep shorter yield time anyway. Which is why we deleted the code. Whatever small win it did see in some cases might have been actually due to this issue rather than anything to do with `isInputPending` at all. As you can see in https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/31782 we do have this implemented in the mock scheduler and a lot of behavior that we assert assumes that this works. So this just implements yielding after `requestPaint` is called. Before: <img width="1023" alt="Screenshot 2024-12-14 at 3 40 24 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d60f4bb2-c8f8-4f91-a402-9ac25b278450" /> After: <img width="1108" alt="Screenshot 2024-12-14 at 3 41 25 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/170cdb90-a049-436f-9501-be3fb9bc04ca" /> Notice how in after the native task is split into two. It might not always actually paint and the native scheduler might make the same mistake and think it has enough time left but it's at least less likely to. We do have another way to do this. When we yield a continuation we also yield to the native browser. This is to enable the Suspense Optimization (currently disabled) to work. We could do the same for passive effects and, in fact, I have a branch that does but because that requires a lot more tests to be fixed it's a lot more invasive of a change. The nice thing about this approach is that this is not even running in tests at all and the tests we do have assert that this is the behavior already. 😬
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 the 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 Quick Start to get a taste of React.
- Add React to an Existing Project to use as little or as much React as you need.
- Create a New React App if you're looking for a powerful JavaScript toolchain.
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:
- Quick Start
- Tutorial
- Thinking in React
- Installation
- Describing the UI
- Adding Interactivity
- Managing State
- Advanced Guides
- API Reference
- Where to Get Support
- Contributing Guide
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:
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
function HelloMessage({ name }) {
return <div>Hello {name}</div>;
}
const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('container'));
root.render(<HelloMessage name="Taylor" />);
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.
