`useInsertionEffect` is meant to be used to insert `<style>` tags that affect the layout. It allows precomputing a layout before it mounts. Since we're not normally firing any effects during the "apply gesture" phase where we create the clones, it's possible for the target snapshot to be missing styles. This makes it so that `useInsertionEffect` for a new tree are mounted before the snapshot is taken and then unmounted before the animation starts. Note that because we are mounting a clone of the DOM tree and the previous DOM tree remains mounted during the snapshot, we can't unmount any previous insertion effects. This can lead to conflicts but that is similar to what can happen with conflicts for two mounted Activity boundaries since insertion effects can remain mounted inside those. A revealed Activity will have already had their insertion effects fired while offscreen. However, one thing this doesn't yet do is handle the case where a `useInsertionEffect` is *updated* as part of a gesture being applied. This means it's still possible for it to miss some styles in that case. The interesting thing there is that since the old state and the new state will both be applicable to the global DOM in this phase, what should really happen is that we should mount the new updated state without unmounting the old state and then unmount the updated state. Meaning you can have the same hook in the mounted state twice at the same time.

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 Quick Start to get a taste of React.
- Add React to an Existing Project to use as little or as much React as you need.
- Create a New React App if you're looking for a powerful JavaScript toolchain.
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:
- Quick Start
- Tutorial
- Thinking in React
- Installation
- Describing the UI
- Adding Interactivity
- Managing State
- Advanced Guides
- API Reference
- Where to Get Support
- Contributing Guide
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.
