Summary of React Version 19
Major New Features
- Actions
 
- Enhanced support for asynchronous functions: By using 
useTransition, you can automatically manage pending states, error handling, and optimistic updates in asynchronous functions. 
const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition()
const handleSubmit = () => {
  startTransition(async () => {
    const error = await updateName(name)
    if (error) {
      setError(error)
      return
    }
    redirect('/path')
  })
}
- New Hook: 
useActionState 
- Easily handle common cases of Actions: Manage the results of asynchronous actions, pending states, errors, and more.
 
const [error, submitAction, isPending] = useActionState(
  async (prevState, formData) => {
    const error = await updateName(formData.get('name'))
    if (error) return error
    redirect('/path')
    return null
  },
  null
)
- React DOM:
 
Pass functions as
actionandformActionprops: Automatically manage form submissions and reset the form after submission.
