When will the library support React 19 and SLDS 2?

[aroojfatimahhh]

I’m using @salesforce/design-system-react in a React 18 + TypeScript + Vite project.

Our current setup:

"react": "18.x",
"@salesforce/design-system-react": "^0.10.64",
"@salesforce-ux/design-system": "2.28.0"

We’re planning to upgrade to React 19 and adopt SLDS 2, but it looks like the React wrapper hasn’t been updated for either yet.

From what I can tell:

• The React wrapper still depends on React 16/17 APIs (e.g., findDOMNode), which are removed in React 19.
• This breaks components such as Modal, Tooltip, Popover, and Dropdown.
• The package doesn’t yet use the new SLDS 2 styling hooks (--slds-c-* variables) or design tokens.
• The latest release (v0.10.64) is still dated mid-2025, with no mention of React 19 or SLDS 2 support.

Questions:

1. Is there any official update or timeline for @salesforce/design-system-react to support React 19 and SLDS 2?
2. Are there any workarounds or community forks addressing this?
3. Is Salesforce planning to maintain or replace this library in the near future?
   Any official reference, roadmap link, or community insight would be appreciated.
