How to try React 18 Alpha today ?

New alphas are regularly published to npm using the @alpha tag. These releases are built using the most recent commit to our main repo. When a feature or bugfix is merged, it will appear in an alpha the following weekday.

There may be significant behavioral or API changes between alpha releases. Please remember that alpha releases are not recommended for user-facing, production applications.

 

Projected React 18 release timeline

We don’t have a specific release date scheduled, but we expect it will take several months of feedback and iteration before React 18 is ready for most production applications.

• Library Alpha: Available today
• Public Beta: At least several months
• Release Candidate (RC): At least several weeks after Beta
• General Availability: At least several weeks after RC

More details about our projected release timeline are available in the Working Group. We’ll post updates on this blog when we’re closer to a public release.
