# React Modernization

Drag an aging React app forward without starting over

## What this does

Your React app is a few versions behind and written in an older style. This handles the upgrade and the rewrite from class components to hooks, and helps you pick up newer React behavior. Reach for it when the codebase is starting to feel dated but a rebuild is out of the question.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Upgrade React to a current version
- Convert class components to hooks
- Adopt concurrent features in existing code

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About React Modernization

React moved on and older codebases did not. This skill upgrades React applications to the latest versions and migrates class components to hooks.

It also covers adopting concurrent features. Use it when modernizing a React codebase, moving to hooks, or upgrading to a newer version of React.

## Questions

### Is React Modernization safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of React Modernization and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit be57c0b2e3c0, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/react-modernization.

### How do I install React Modernization?
