React 16 depends on the collection types Map and Set. If you support older browsers and devices which may not yet provide these natively (eg <IE11), consider including a global polyfill in your bundled application, such as core-js or babel-polyfill.
A polyfilled environment for React 16 using core-js to support older browsers might look like:
import 'core-js/es6/map';
import 'core-js/es6/set';
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
ReactDOM.render(
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
React also depends on requestAnimationFrame
(even in test environments). A simple shim for testing environments would be:
global.requestAnimationFrame = function(callback) {
setTimeout(callback, 0);
};
