I am confused. I recall a conversation back in May 2019 about this topic and was under the assumption, this was the priority and was supposed to be resolved in last 6 months.
Few links:
- State of React for Plugins - 1.23 be the stable for plugins
- Javascript Stack: our next challenges says “Milestone reached, react development should officially supported by now - estimated to the middle of January” confirming here Javascript Stack: our next challenges
I understand the vendor package was supposed to help with this issue and there may be still some edge cases not yet resolved, however this post suggests we haven’t started with the redesign and plugins are not yet ready to consume the react. So my questions are:
- how long such redesign would take
- what was implemented in last 6 months that had a higher priority than this?
- what is the guarantee that this time, it will fix the issue
The last question is driven by my frustration, caused by seeing the same issues in nightlies, like a year ago. We haven’t resolved this yet, although react was introduced more than 3 years after to our UI stack. We’re trying to solve this since 2017. It almost feels it’s not possible to resolve it and we should change the direction. There are many other options I believe.
