componentWillReceiveProps is going to be deprecated

See original GitHub issue

React is going to deprecate componentWillReceiveProps in version 17 which will affect AnimatedSwitch.

Do you have any plan to fix it?

I am not sure if you move the affected code into “componentDidUpdate” will cause any other trouble. There is another way “getDerivedStateFromProps” but that will force people to have react 16.3.0+ as peer dependency.

@maisano I am receiving a similar message:

Warning: componentWillReceiveProps has been renamed, and is not recommended for use. See https://fb.me/react-unsafe-component-lifecycles for details.

* Move data fetching code or side effects to componentDidUpdate.
* If you're updating state whenever props change, refactor your code to use memoization techniques or move it to static getDerivedStateFromProps. Learn more at: https://fb.me/react-derived-state
* Rename componentWillReceiveProps to UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps to suppress this warning in non-strict mode. In React 17.x, only the UNSAFE_ name will work. To rename all deprecated lifecycles to their new names, you can run `npx react-codemod rename-unsafe-lifecycles` in your project source folder.

Please update the following components: TransitionMotion
