Upgrade to React 18

[spoilerdo]

Upgrade dependecies to React 18. Since modern projects need React 18

Hi, Thank you for your contribution. There is a version 3 on the way, in which the dependencies are updated, so I don't know if I'll merge this PR as-is. I have a question though, do you need this change because your using Orejime as a dependency, compiling it yourself ?

[spoilerdo]

Yis we are using React 18 and wanted to use this package in our software. But I am not going to compile React 18 and 16 in the same project. But currently we are forking your package and adopting it to our own material UI component.

[felixgirault]

Oh ok! I wondered why you would use Orejime like that instead of just loading the script separately. In the upcoming version, we split the core mechanics and the interface, so it will probably be easier to do what you're doing.

[spoilerdo]

Yea for now we will wait and search for a different package until version 3 is out. So keep us up to date on this version 3. We are very looking forward to it. Our customer is in desperate need of this new version haha

[felixgirault]

Yeah it's been in the pipes for too long… However it is more than usable right now, would you give it a try if I published an alpha version ?

[spoilerdo]

Yis absolutely!! Soon we will pick up a spike to research cookie consent and we can take this within our research to test the alpha version!! So please let me know when you release it so we can research it. And we will let you know what our findings are as soon as we pick up the spike

Great news!

I don't know if I will be able to publish a version on npm soon enough, it works ok as standalone, but there is still some work to be done to make it usable as you would.

In the meantime, here is some info to show you what you could do, to see if it would fit your use case :

In v3, the logic is separated in its own module, were you can get a "ConsentManager" object that can check cookies, enable or disable scripts etc. Then there is the UI that is just putting visuals and controls over the manager. You could build your very own UI using the manager, or use the build-in theming mechanism. We're alreay using themes to provide a default interface, and one for the french state design system. If what you want to build doesn't differ too much in terms of structure, you could create a material theme just by creating some stateless components (like here).

I hope this makes sense :sweat_smile:

[!NOTE] Update : Just realized that I was confused by the opening date of that PR (4th Sept 2023). I though it was published yesterday (4th Sept 2024)

Hey there. I'm happily surprised with that PR as I was also preparing one to do the same thing. Grilled by @spoilerdo 😄

We are using Orejime in production with React 18. Having the deprecated warning gone would be great for us as well.

There is a version 3 on the way, in which the dependencies are updated, so I don't know if I'll merge this PR as-is.

Any idea for the release ? Still interested in contributions ?

Cheers

We created our own cookie consent by just copy pasting the logic code and tweaking it to our liking. It works fine for us and we can maintain the code for our own. So maybe thats something you can conside as well @jmpp

Thanks for your answer @spoilerdo , maybe we'll consider to do the same in the future :)
