Allow custom (nonstandard) attributes.

Various frameworks uses custom attributes. React could allow to extend default data- and aria- prefixes. Something like this:

React.registerCustomAttributePrefix('e-');
React.registerCustomAttributePrefix('ng-');

It would indeed be great if all issues could be taken into account immediately. However this is just not how software is developed. At the time, there were always more pressing issues. We try to do our best to prioritize work on what is likely to help most people, and while this particular request has a lot of support, so do many other things we are and have been working on.

I appreciate you sharing your concerns but let’s keep this thread on topic. Yes, it’s a change we wanted to make for a while, and yes, it took us a while to get to add the warning. If you open any popular issue, you will find comments saying that particular issue is the most urgent one.

I’m sorry this particular change prevented you from using React but I hope that you found an alternative that better suits your needs in the meantime. I also hope you’ll reconsider after we make this change.

Cheers!

For not yet supported attributes, you can put ref on the element and call setAttribute() manually.

For example:

return <div ref={node => node && node.setAttribute('inert', '')} />
