Update to react 16.8?

[dante-blitz]

Hi there,

Thanks for your great starter.

Do you have any plans to update react to 16.8? I'm keen to experiment using material-ui v4 with your starter but it requires 16.8. I tried updating packages myself but they broke everything.

Hey @dante-blitz, you should be able to update React by running yarn add react react-dom. I also updated it on the master branch now. If it still doesn't work, delete the node_modules folder and reinstall the dependencies again with yarn install.

Thank for the info @fabe.

I just tried to update again. Here are the steps I took after cloning this repo:

2. yarn add react-dom
3. yarn develop

I get the following error message:

Error: Failed to process image ...content/images/gallery/react-context.jpg

Did it work before you updated? And did you update both react and react-dom?

Difficult to debug from here, but I'm pretty sure this is not an issue with this starter itself. There's a similar issue that suggests you to update yarn (either by curl --compressed -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash or brew upgrade yarn). Maybe try that, together with removing the yarn.lock.

Alternatively, you can try reinstalling everything with npm install.

tried. all options you suggested but the issue still persists.

I'll explore the issue myself and see if I can get to the bottom of it.
