# React Magnifier v1.3.0 - Release Notes **Release Date**: July 29, 2026 **Status**: Stable Production Release **License**: MIT --- ## What's New in v1.3.0 ### ๐Ÿš€ New Features #### React 19 `useId()` for ARIA ID Generation - Replaced hardcoded `"magnifier-help"` with `React.useId()` for unique `aria-describedby` IDs - Prevents duplicate ID violations when multiple magnifiers appear on the same page #### `React.forwardRef` Support - Container `
` ref is forwarded via `React.forwardRef` - Consumers can access the container DOM node directly - Ref is cleaned up to `null` on unmount - `ReactMagnifierProps` type is now exported #### Prop Renames: `customImgStyles` โ†’ `customImgClass`, `customContainerStyles` โ†’ `customContainerClass` - Renamed for semantic clarity (these apply CSS classes, not inline styles) - Old names still accepted with backward compatibility via fallback merge - Deprecated props marked with `@deprecated` JSDoc ### ๐Ÿ› Bug Fixes #### Keyboard Bounds Clamping - Arrow keys now clamp to `maxLeft`/`maxTop` derived from image dimensions and zoom ratio - Prevents glass from moving outside the visible image area #### `getCursorPos` Scroll Calculation Fix - Changed from `pageX`/`pageY` to `clientX`/`clientY` โ€” removes double-compensation with `pageXOffset`/`pageYOffset` #### `PIXEL_PADDING` Replaced with `magnifierBorderWidth` - Glass positioning now respects the consumer's configured border width ### ๐Ÿงน Code Cleanup - Removed redundant `useMemo` on entire `props` object (no-op when dependency is the object itself) - Removed empty `scripts/` directory - Removed duplicate `build:lib` script from package.json - Removed `.npmrc` (`legacy-peer-deps=true`) ### ๐Ÿ“ฆ Dependencies - `@testing-library/react` updated to `16.3.2` (resolves peer dep conflict with `@types/react@19.x`) ### ๐Ÿ”ง Dev Tooling - Husky + lint-staged configured โ€” runs linting/formatting on staged `*.{ts,tsx,json,css,md}` files ### ๐Ÿ“ Documentation - Comprehensive TSDoc/JSDoc comments added to all source files ### Bundle Sizes (v1.3.0) | Format | Minified | Gzipped | | ------ | -------- | ------- | | ESM | 16.10 kB | 3.74 kB | | UMD | 8.03 kB | 2.87 kB | --- # React Magnifier v1.2.0 - Release Notes **Release Date**: July 27, 2026 **Status**: Stable Production Release **License**: MIT --- ## What's New in v1.2.0 ### Production Readiness Fixes #### Bundle Externalization (Critical) - **`styled-components`** is now externalized from the Vite build โ€” consumers no longer receive a bundled duplicate that causes "multiple instances of styled-components" warnings - **`react/jsx-runtime`** and **`react/jsx-dev-runtime`** are now externalized โ€” eliminates the "hooks can only be called inside a function component" error caused by duplicate JSX runtimes - UMD bundle no longer ships development-mode React JSX runtime (previously contained `process.env.NODE_ENV` branches with dev warnings) #### Type Declarations (Critical) - Added `vite-plugin-dts` to generate `.d.ts` files in `dist/` during build - TypeScript consumers can now import the package without errors - `tsconfig.json` `outDir` removed from config โ€” declarations are now handled by the Vite plugin rather than `tsc` emit #### Console Warning Fix (Critical) - Changed `console.log` to `console.warn` in `logMagnifierError()` (`src/ReactMagnifier/utils.ts:18`) โ€” errors now use proper severity level and no longer bypass the ESLint `no-console` rule ### Dependency Changes - **`styled-components`** moved from `dependencies` to `peerDependencies` โ€” consumers control the version, avoiding duplicate installations - Removed `@types/styled-components` from `devDependencies` โ€” `styled-components` v6 ships its own TypeScript types - Fixed React peer dependency range to `^18.0.0 || ^19.0.0` for wider compatibility - Fixed dev React dependency to stable `^19.0.0` (was `^19.0.0-rc.1`) ### Build Improvements - Added `"sideEffects": false` to `package.json` โ€” enables tree-shaking by bundlers - Removed invalid `./dist/style.css` export entry (no CSS file exists; styles are injected at runtime via styled-components) - Fixed `.gitignore` and `.npmignore` source map patterns (`*.map.js` โ†’ `*.map`) to correctly exclude source maps - Removed unused `debounce` utility function from `src/ReactMagnifier/utils.ts` ### Styling Fix - Scoped global `* { box-sizing: border-box }` reset to `.react-magnifier-glass` only โ€” no longer affects the entire consumer page ### Bundle Size (Post-Fix) | Format | Minified | Gzipped | Previous (v1.1.1) | Change | | ------ | -------- | ------- | ------------------ | ---------------------------- | | ESM | 13.92 kB | 3.49 kB | 25.25 kB / 6.29 kB | **-45% minified, -45% gzip** | | UMD | 7.51 kB | 2.74 kB | 12.08 kB / 4.61 kB | **-38% minified, -41% gzip** | ### Backward Compatibility All v1.1.1, v1.1.0, and v1.0.0 props, events, and behaviors are fully supported. No breaking changes. **Note for consumers:** If you previously imported `@sandeepv68/react-magnifier/dist/style.css`, that import should be removed โ€” styles are injected automatically by `styled-components` at runtime. --- ### Bug Fixes #### Keyboard Navigation Background Sync - Fixed keyboard arrow key handlers (โ†‘ โ†“ โ† โ†’) to update `backgroundPosition` alongside glass position - Previously, moving the magnifier with keyboard would shift the glass but the zoomed content would not follow - Added `updateBackgroundPosition()` helper that derives logical coordinates from the glass element's DOM position #### Event Name Consistency - Fixed misspelled custom event names (`magnfier-*` โ†’ `magnifier-*`) across all consumer code - The component dispatches correctly-spelled events, but stories, tests, and documentation referenced misspelled versions, meaning event listeners would never fire - Fixed in: `ReactMagnifier.stories.tsx`, `ReactMagnifier.memory.test.tsx`, `README.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `RELEASE_NOTES.md`, `TECHNICAL_DOCS.md` ### Code Cleanup - Deleted `src/ReactMagnifier/style.css` โ€” redundant since v1.1.0 migrated to styled-components - Removed non-existent `index.css` imports from `src/index.tsx` and stories ### Test Improvements - Replaced fragile `await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, N))` with `waitFor` from `@testing-library/react` in `ReactMagnifier.test.tsx` - Fixed syntax error in `ReactMagnifier.memory.test.tsx:269` (statement, eslint-disable, and expect collapsed onto one line) - All **49 tests** passing ### Documentation Fixes - "Zero Dependencies" โ†’ "Minimal runtime dependencies (styled-components is the sole runtime dependency)" - "17 comprehensive test cases" โ†’ "49 comprehensive test cases" - Removed references to non-existent npm scripts (`build-tsc`, `build-dev`, `build-prod`) - "Jest testing library" โ†’ "Vitest testing library" - Updated test count from "50+" to accurate "49" ### Backward Compatibility All v1.1.0 and v1.0.0 props, events, and behaviors are fully supported. No breaking changes. --- # React Magnifier v1.1.0 - Release Notes **Release Date**: July 20, 2026 **Status**: Stable Production Release **License**: MIT --- ## ๐ŸŽจ What's New in v1.1.0 ### CSS-in-JS via styled-components Component styles are now co-located with the component using `styled-components`. Consumers no longer need to import a separate stylesheet โ€” styles are injected automatically at runtime. - `ImageContainer` โ€” styled `div` replacing `.react-magnifier-image-container` - `SrOnly` โ€” styled `div` for screen-reader announcements - `MagnifierGlobalStyles` โ€” `createGlobalStyle` block for the imperatively-created magnifier glass element The original class name `react-magnifier-image-container` is still applied explicitly for full backward compatibility with external CSS overrides. ### Dependencies added - `styled-components` (runtime dependency at the time; moved to peer dependency in v1.2.0) --- # React Magnifier v1.0.0 - Release Notes **Release Date**: July 18, 2026 **Status**: Stable Production Release **License**: MIT --- ## ๐ŸŽ‰ Welcome to v1.0.0!
