API REFERENCE
React DOM APIs
The react-dom package contains methods that are only
supported for the web applications (which run in the browser
DOM environment). They are not supported for React Native.
APIs
These APIs can be imported from your components. They are rarely used:
createPortal lets you render child components in a different part of the
DOM tree.
flushSync lets you force React to flush a state update and update the
DOM synchronously.
Resource Preloading APIs
These APIs can be used to make apps faster by pre-loading resources such
as scripts, stylesheets, and fonts as soon as you know you need them, for
example before navigating to another page where the resources will be used.
React-based frameworks frequently handle resource loading for you, so you
might not have to call these APIs yourself. Consult your framework’s
documentation for details.
prefetchDNS lets you prefetch the IP address of a DNS domain name that
you expect to connect to.
preconnect lets you connect to a server you expect to request resources
from, even if you don’t know what resources you’ll need yet.
preload lets you fetch a stylesheet, font, image, or external script that
you expect to use.

preloadModule lets you fetch an ESM module that you expect to use.
preinit lets you fetch and evaluate an external script or fetch and insert
a stylesheet.
preinitModule lets you fetch and evaluate an ESM module.
Entry points
The react-dom package provides two additional entry points:
react-dom/client contains APIs to render React components on the
client (in the browser).
react-dom/server contains APIs to render React components on the
server.
Removed APIs
These APIs were removed in React 19:
findDOMNode : see alternatives.
hydrate : use hydrateRoot instead.
render : use createRoot instead.
unmountComponentAtNode : use root.unmount() instead.
renderToNodeStream : use react-dom/server APIs instead.
renderToStaticNodeStream : use react-dom/server APIs instead.
