TypeError: react_dom__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_0__.render is not a function — ReactDOM.render removed in React 19
TypeError: react_dom__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_0__.render is not a function
Your own code — use the root API from react-dom/client:
// Before
import {render, hydrate, unmountComponentAtNode} from 'react-dom';
render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));
hydrate(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));
unmountComponentAtNode(document.getElementById('root'));
// After
import {createRoot, hydrateRoot} from 'react-dom/client';
const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(<App />);
// SSR: hydrateRoot(document.getElementById('root'), <App />);
root.unmount();
Codemod: npx codemod@latest react/19/replace-reactdom-render.
findDOMNode → attach a useRef to the element and read ref.current.
If the call is inside a dependency (stack trace in node_modules), upgrade that library to its React-19-compatible release (leva fixed it in 0.10.0) or stay on React 18 until it does.
Symptom
After upgrading to React 19 (or installing a fresh project that pulls React 19, e.g. Next.js 15+), the app or a dependency crashes at mount with TypeError: react_dom__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_0__.render is not a function (or ReactDOM.render is not a function with a CDN/ESM build). The same applies to ReactDOM.hydrate and unmountComponentAtNode.
Cause
ReactDOM.render, ReactDOM.hydrate, unmountComponentAtNode and findDOMNode were deprecated in React 18 and removed in React 19 (stable 2024-12-05). Code examples from older tutorials and older libraries (e.g. leva < 0.10.0) still call them.
Verify
grep -rn "ReactDOM.render\|from 'react-dom'" src returns no render/hydrate/unmountComponentAtNode imports; the app mounts without the TypeError.
