# React Modernization

Master React version upgrades, class to hooks migration, concurrent features adoption, and codemods for automated transformation.

## When to Use This Skill

- Upgrading React applications to latest versions
- Migrating class components to functional components with hooks
- Adopting concurrent React features (Suspense, transitions)
- Applying codemods for automated refactoring
- Modernizing state management patterns
- Updating to TypeScript
- Improving performance with React 18+ features

## Version Upgrade Path

### React 16 → 17 → 18

**Breaking Changes by Version:**

**React 17:**
- Event delegation changes
- No event pooling
- Effect cleanup timing
- JSX transform (no React import needed)

**React 18:**
- Automatic batching
- Concurrent rendering
- Strict Mode changes (double invocation)
- New root API
- Suspense on server

## Class to Hooks Migration

### State Management
```javascript
// Before: Class component
class Counter extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      count: 0,
      name: ''
    };
  }

  increment = () => {
    this.setState({ count: this.state.count + 1 });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <p>Count: {this.state.count}</p>
        <button onClick={this.increment}>Increment</button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

// After: Functional component with hooks
function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  const [name, setName] = useState('');

  const increment = () => {
    setCount(count + 1);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Count: {count}</p>
      <button onClick={increment}>Increment</button>
    </div>
  );
}
```

### Lifecycle Methods to Hooks
```javascript
// Before: Lifecycle methods
class DataFetcher extends React.Component {
  state = { data: null, loading: true };

  componentDidMount() {
    this.fetchData();
  }

  componentDidUpdate(prevProps) {
    if (prevProps.id !== this.props.id) {
      this.fetchData();
    }
  }
