Upgrade React

Open jasonaowen opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

We're currently using React 15. Upgrade to the most recent version of React, which is currently 16.8.6.

This target is ever changing, of course; now it's React 17.

The front end was made with create-react-app, long long ago. We're currently on react-scripts 0.2.1; the most recent version is 4.0.3. Since we rely on react-scripts for most of the configuration and dependencies, I think we need to update it alongside React; we can't just update React separately. So, I think part of the upgrade process is to go through the changelogs, find the releases with breaking changes, and address them. It'd probably be best to upgrade in a few steps, rather than in one big bang.

As a first step, we should commit package-lock.json.
