Compatibility Issue with React 19 Release Candidate

[ramayudanto]

I ran into an issue when trying to install @heroicons/react with the React 19 release candidate (19.0.0-rc-69d4b800-20241021). The installation fails due to a dependency conflict because @heroicons/react currently supports React versions >= 16, which doesn’t appear to include compatibility with React 19.

Error Details

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm ERR!
npm ERR! While resolving: my-next15-app@0.1.0
npm ERR! Found: react@19.0.0-rc-69d4b800-20241021

npm ERR!
npm ERR! Fix the upstream dependency conflict, or retry
npm ERR! this command with --force or --legacy-peer-deps
npm ERR! to accept an incorrect (and potentially broken) dependency resolution.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a new Next.js project with React 19 (e.g., npx create-next-app@latest).
2. Attempt to install @heroicons/react:

   npm install @heroicons/react

3. The error appears due to the dependency conflict.

Environment:

• @heroicons/react version: 2.1.5
• React version: 19.0.0-rc-69d4b800-20241021
• Node version: 20.10.0
• npm version: 10.2.3

Workarounds I Found:

1. Downgrade React to version 18.

Request:
Any chance you could add support for the React 19 release candidates? It would make it easier for others exploring the latest React updates to use Heroicons!

Thanks so much!

I believe this is due to the forwardRef changes, I did a quick test of mty codebase & couldn't compile under 19

I've encountered the same issue. with Nextjs 15 and React 19. Installing with --legacy-peer-deps works.

use this

    "@heroicons/react": "^2.1.5",
    "next": "15.0.2",
    "react": "^18.3.1",
    "react-dom": "^18.3.1"

[davecarlson]

use this

    "@heroicons/react": "^2.1.5",
    "next": "15.0.2",
    "react": "^18.3.1",
    "react-dom": "^18.3.1"

This pins to react 18, which is not what this ticket is about. This is about support for React 19.

Hey folks, thanks for making us aware of this. We've just added React 19 support in #1247 and will get a new release cut shortly 👍

[reinink]

Hey just another update on this—we've got the release out. You can now install the latest version of Heroicons in a React 19 project without having to use "force":

npm install @heroicons/react@latest

Let me know if you run into any issues! 👍
