React 19 is FINALLY Here!

Server Components are now production-ready. These enable server-side rendering at build time or on-demand, reducing initial load times and improving performance. Fully integrated with frameworks like Next.js, they offer a seamless way to future-proof your React applications. (I already did a video on Server Components earlier this year).

Another standout feature is Actions, with APIs like useActionState() simplifying async operations by managing loading states and error handling effortlessly. The new use() API allows direct promise handling, making data fetching intuitive without extra hooks or context.

Other updates include enhanced <Context> usage, direct ref access as props, and a cleanup function for ref callbacks. React’s pre-rendering pipeline gets a boost with pre-warming and new React-DOM static APIs, while improvements to Suspense, hydration reporting, and resource preloading refine the developer experience.

Of course, whilst React 19 is now stable, we still need to wait for all the dependencies to catch up.
