Suspending with an uncached promise is not yet supported. We only support suspending on promises that are cached between render attempts. (We do plan to partially support this in the future, at least in certain constrained cases, like during a route transition.) This includes the case where a component returns an uncached promise, which is effectively what happens if a Client Component is authored using async/await syntax. This is an easy mistake to make in a Server Components app, because async/await _is_ available in Server Components. In the current behavior, this can sometimes cause the app to crash with an infinite loop, because React will repeatedly keep trying to render the component, which will result in a fresh promise, which will result in a new render attempt, and so on. We have some strategies we can use to prevent this — during a concurrent render, we can suspend the work loop until the promise resolves. If it's not a concurrent render, we can show a Suspense fallback and try again at concurrent priority. There's one case where neither of these strategies work, though: during a sync render when there's no parent Suspense boundary. (We refer to this as the "shell" of the app because it exists outside of any loading UI.) Since we don't have any great options for this scenario, we should at least error gracefully instead of crashing the app. So this commit adds a detection mechanism for render loops caused by async client components. The way it works is, if an app suspends repeatedly in the shell during a synchronous render, without committing anything in between, we will count the number of attempts and eventually trigger an error once the count exceeds a threshold. In the future, we will consider ways to make this case a warning instead of a hard error. See https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/26801 for more details.
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.
