Single version to support React 17 and 18

[chkp-michaelo]

My I/S library should support apps on both React 17 and 18.
Can I use use-local-storage-state@17 reliably for supporting both ? any drawbacks ?
No SSR, standard CRA apps

Thanks

use-local-storage-state@17 can work on both React 17 and 18. It also supports SSR, no worries there.

There is only drawback — if use-local-storage-state is used in a part of an app that has concurrent rendering and while the tree is being concurrently rendered the value in the store changes it might produce inconsistent results. However, this is a big edge case.

Version 17 has dependency conflict with React 18:

npm ERR! Could not resolve dependency:
npm ERR! peer react@">=16.8.0 < 18" from [email protected]

It would require always running with --force flag (from dev environments, pipelines, etc) to workaround..
Any chance to loosen the React peer dependency range ?

Thanks

I liked the idea so I made the change and released a new version. Thanks!
