When React receives new input (via `setState`, a Suspense promise resolution, and so on), it needs to ensure there's a rendering task associated with the update. Most of this happens `ensureRootIsScheduled`. If a single event contains multiple updates, we end up running the scheduling code once per update. But this is wasteful because we really only need to run it once, at the end of the event (or in the case of flushSync, at the end of the scope function's execution). So this PR moves the scheduling logic to happen in a microtask instead. In some cases, we will force it run earlier than that, like for `flushSync`, but since updates are batched by default, it will almost always happen in the microtask. Even for discrete updates. In production, this should have no observable behavior difference. In a testing environment that uses `act`, this should also not have a behavior difference because React will push these tasks to an internal `act` queue. However, tests that do not use `act` and do not simulate an actual production environment (like an e2e test) may be affected. For example, before this change, if a test were to call `setState` outside of `act` and then immediately call `jest.runAllTimers()`, the update would be synchronously applied. After this change, that will no longer work because the rendering task (a timer, in this case) isn't scheduled until after the microtask queue has run. I don't expect this to be an issue in practice because most people do not write their tests this way. They either use `act`, or they write e2e-style tests. The biggest exception has been... our own internal test suite. Until recently, many of our tests were written in a way that accidentally relied on the updates being scheduled synchronously. Over the past few weeks, @tyao1 and I have gradually converted the test suite to use a new set of testing helpers that are resilient to this implementation detail. (There are also some old Relay tests that were written in the style of React's internal test suite. Those will need to be fixed, too.) The larger motivation behind this change, aside from a minor performance improvement, is we intend to use this new microtask to perform additional logic that doesn't yet exist. Like inferring the priority of a custom event.
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 Online Playgrounds to get a taste of React.
- Add React to a Website as a
<script>tag in one minute. - Create a New React App if you're looking for a powerful JavaScript toolchain.
You can use React as a <script> tag from a CDN, or as a react package on npm.
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:
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. If you're using React as a <script> tag, read this section on integrating JSX; otherwise, the recommended JavaScript toolchains handle it automatically.
