🎣 ESLint: Allow Extraneous Effect Dependencies

In the ESLint rule for hooks, it’s now allowed to pass dependencies that are not used inside the effect to the dependency array. Check out the PR for an example of when this is useful.

https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/14967

⚓️ ESLint: More Cases For exhaustive-deps Rule

This PR improves messaging for when you try to pass literals. Additionally it now warns when ref.current is used in an effect cleanup that it assumes is a component ref.

https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/14930

📌 ESLint: Allow Omitting Constant Primitive Deps

The eslint-plugin-react-hooks/exhaustive-deps lint rule now allows you to omit defining constant primitives (e.g. const a = 123;) in the dependencies array if you close over them.

https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/14959

🐛 Fix Compatibility Between react-debug-tools and useContext()

🌏 New React Docs Localizations Live

This week, four new React documentation websites went live:
• French: fr.reactjs.org
• Russian: ru.reactjs.org
• Ukrainian: uk.reactjs.org
Simplified Chinese: zh-hans.reactjs.org
At the same time, two new localization repos where added:
• Swedish: reactjs/sv.reactjs.org
• Thai: reactjs/th.reactjs.org

📌 ESLint: Warn about Dependencies Outside of Render Scope

Variables that are defined outside of the render scope (for example global variables like window) do not cause a component to re-render when they’re mutated. This doesn’t play together with the dependency array so the ESLint rule exhaustive-deps now warns in those cases.

https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/14990

⏳ Import Scheduler Directly

With the introduction of a general purpose scheduler, the individual React renders can now directly call the unified Scheduler APIs. Read the PR denoscription for a good overview of the current situation!

https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/14984

⚠️ Warn When Dependencies Are Not an Array

React now warns on mounting a component that uses hooks where the dependencies are not an array.

https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/15018

⚓️ ESLint: Treat Functions That Don’t Capture Anything As Static

For the exhaustive-deps ESLint rule, functions that do not capture anything are now treated as static. Even if they close over a setState() function that comes from the useState() hook.

https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/14996

🎣 ESLint: Enforce Dependencies Array in useMemo and useCallback

The ESLint rule will now also enforce a dependencies array when useMemo() or useCallback() is used.
