React-beautiful-dnd: Moving to React 16 in early 2018 💥

[alexreardon]

The plan is to move react-beautiful-dnd to React 16 in early 2018. This will allow us to:

• Move to a portal based solution for more robust styling #192
• Clean up the api to remove the need to bind ref functions or insert the placeholders. #8
• Avoid the need to create your own wrapper elements around a draggable. Will facilitate semantic table drag and drop

This shift would mean that the library would no longer work with React 15.

I wanted to give people the heads up now that this is the planned direction rather than springing it on people at the last minute.

Cheers

All for it, thanks for the heads up.

Sounds great! Most other libs have followed suite, I think the timing is about right

Any plans to test/support React 16 (as a peer dependency) with the current API?

[alexreardon]

Hey @drew-walker!

The current api works with React 16. If you are feeling enthusiastic you could raise a PR to change the deep dep range in the package.json.
