Ensure compatibility with React v16.8

[thomax]

Hooks are going to become a popular way doing things in the not-too-distant future. We should ensure that the Content Studio runs smoothly on React v16.8.

Also, do we want to re-write some of your logic to use hooks?

I'm writing my plugins using Class components and would love to be able to use hooks. +1 from the plugin side!

I think we should definitively support hooks too. I think we should follow the React teams’ advice of not refactoring, but rather, use hooks when it makes sense in future components.

react-hot-loader seemed to be the problem last time we checked up on this.

Trying to created a plugin right now with hooks:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'expirationTime' of undefined which seems to be a known issue facebook/react#14767 (comment) can we upgrade at least react-hot-loader to use hooks on the side of the plugins? quite sad not being able to code with hooks.

This has a high priority from our side and hopefully a fix will be available by the end of this week or early next week. Thanks for your patience!

I just encountered this error trying to use hooks in an input component. Glad I found this issue though, so I didn't spend more time trying to figure this out.

Seems like react-hot-loader is locked to an older version (

sanity/packages/@sanity/server/package.json

Line 56 in ef3c8c2

"react-hot-loader": "4.3.8",

), and it could be worth having an eye on gaearon/react-hot-loader#1088

A fix has been released in v0.142.0 🎉
