Answer 1

You need to add @hot-loader/react-dom to your project based on your ReactJS version, pay attention below command:

yarn add @hot-loader/react-dom@[YOUR_REACT_VERSION]

Then it is needed to add resolve alias for it on your Webpack configuration file:

resolve: {
    alias: {
      'react-dom': '@hot-loader/react-dom'
    }
}

For more information read its docs.

In short - React-Hot-Loader is something that "might not work". It has a lot of problems and limitations.

"hot-patch" was created to (first) support new React features, and (second) make it more stable.

• Without this patch - something really might not work.
• With the patch - something might work better, especially in the future.

It's the only our(ok, mine) hope to mitigate the major problems RHL has, and tracked as "version 5" - https://github.com/gaearon/react-hot-loader/milestone/3

hot-loader/react-dom is not a "third party" lib - it's the same react-dom with some patches applied to dev mode only (you might check build scripts).

It just moves some dark magic, RHL uses to work, inside react, and actually removes it. RHL == black magic. RHL + patch == twice less magic.

Answer 3

Per my comment above, it's looking like react-hot-loader wants the @hot-loader/react-dom package instead of standard react-dom:

• https://github.com/gaearon/react-hot-loader#react--dom
• https://github.com/hot-loader/react-dom

Personally I'm a little concerned with swapping that out though since react-dom is a core part of any react-based application. Also it seems based on some of the linked issues and code comments that maybe this is just a short-term workaround to support new react features like hooks.

So I guess there's two options:

• Wait a little longer to see if they drop that requirement (and maybe run into a few edge cases for hot loading).
• Follow the instructions to get rid of the warning.

Update

You can disable the warning like so:

import { hot, setConfig } from 'react-hot-loader'

setConfig({
    showReactDomPatchNotification: false
})

So this appears to be an artifact of the development process. Looks like there was some back-and-forth on what to do in this case. The error message was commented out, and then later added back as a fix for an issue: https://github.com/gaearon/react-hot-loader/commit/efc3d6b5a58df77f6e0d5ca21bef54e8f8732070.

So, it looks like it's a minor warning, and you may be just fine unless you need specific features.

It might be a good idea to ask for clarity on this from the maintainers, since they seem slightly confused themselves :)
