[stevehollaar]

Environment

• Package version(s): @blueprintjs/core: 3.13.0

Feature request

Support React Strict Mode to remove unsafe lifecycles, etc.
See: https://reactjs.org/docs/strict-mode.html

Examples

Currently when wrapping Blueprint components with <React.StrictMode>, several warnings are exposed as console errors:

Warning: findDOMNode is deprecated in StrictMode. findDOMNode was passed an instance of Blueprint3.ResizeSensor which is inside StrictMode. Instead, add a ref directly to the element you want to reference.

componentWillReceiveProps: Please update the following components to use static getDerivedStateFromProps instead: Blueprint3.Overlay, Blueprint3.Popover

componentWillReceiveProps: Please update the following components to use static getDerivedStateFromProps instead: Blueprint3.Spinner,

(There are probably others)

It seems since React 16.9.0, componentWillReceiveProps usage now logs warnings in non-strict mode too while running tests. Please either rename to UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps or remove usage.

      Warning: componentWillReceiveProps has been renamed, and is not recommended for use. See https://fb.me/react-async-component-lifecycle-hooks for details.

      * Move data fetching code or side effects to componentDidUpdate.
      * If you're updating state whenever props change, refactor your code to use memoization techniques or move it to static getDerivedStateFromProps. Learn more at: https://fb.me/react-derived-state
      * Rename componentWillReceiveProps to UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps to suppress this warning in non-strict mode. In React 17.x, only the UNSAFE_ name will work. To rename all deprecated lifecycles to their new names, you can run `npx react-codemod rename-unsafe-lifecycles` in your project source folder.

      Please update the following components: Blueprint3.Overlay, Blueprint3.Toaster

I'm using react 16.13.1 and blueprint 3.26.1. I'm still seeing this error....is that expected?

Ah - I see #3979 is still open.

I'm also having issues with strict mode.

Until there is a fix/update, what should I do?

There is an error in React strict mode
React v: 17.0.1
BlueprintJS v: 3.37.0

index.js:1 Warning: findDOMNode is deprecated in StrictMode. findDOMNode was passed an instance of Blueprint3.ResizeSensor which is inside StrictMode. Instead, add a ref directly to the element you want to reference.
