Upgrade React from 18.2.0 to 19.0.0

Summary

Successfully upgraded the invoice application from React 18.2.0 to React 19.0.0 along with all related dependencies. This major version update required careful dependency management to ensure compatibility across the React ecosystem.

Key Changes:

  • React & React DOM: 18.2.0 → 19.0.0
  • Testing Libraries: Major version updates (@testing-library/react 13.4.0 → 16.3.0)
  • React Toastify: 9.1.1 → 10.0.5 (React 19 compatible)
  • React Router DOM: 6.8.1 → 6.30.1 (stayed on v6 to avoid v7 breaking changes)
  • Other Dependencies: Updated axios, react-hook-form, date-fns, web-vitals, and others to latest versions

Migration Approach:

  • Conservative upgrade strategy to minimize breaking changes
  • Comprehensive compatibility assessment documented in REACT_19_MIGRATION.md
  • No code changes required - existing patterns are React 19 compatible
  • Thorough testing of authentication, routing, and core functionality

Dashboard functioning correctly

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

3 critical items to verify:

  • End-to-end authentication flow - Test registration, login, logout, and error cases (invalid credentials, network errors). Verify JWT token handling and session persistence work correctly.

  • Form validation and submission - Test invoice creation/editing, user registration with validation errors, and ensure react-hook-form integration still works properly with all edge cases.

  • Production build deployment - Run npm run build and deploy to production environment to ensure no build-time or runtime issues that don't appear in development mode.

Notes

  • All backend tests pass (7/7) confirming API compatibility
  • Build completed successfully with only minor ESLint warnings (unused imports)
  • Development server runs without errors
  • Toast notifications display correctly
  • Navigation between all routes (dashboard, invoices, reports) verified working
