+# If your webpack configurations correspond to rails/webpacker's default setup
+If you're able to configure your webpack configuration to be run by having your webpack configuration
+returned by the files in `/config/webpack`, then you have 2 options to ensure that your files are
+compiled by webpack before running tests and during production deployment:
+
+1. **Use rails/webpacker's compile option**: Configure your `config/webpacker.yml` so that `compile: true` is for `test` and `production`
+   environments. Ensure that your `source_path` is correct, or else `rails/webpacker` won't correctly
+   detect changes. 
+2. **Use the react_on_rails settings and helpers**. Use the settings in `config/initializers/react_on_rails.rb`. Refer to [docs/configuration](./configuration.md).
+
+```yml
+  config.build_test_command = "NODE_ENV=test RAILS_ENV=test bin/webpack"
+``` 
+
+Which should you use? If you're already using the `rails/webpacker` way to configure webpack, then
+you can keep things simple and use the `rails/webpacker` options.
+
+# Checking for stale assets using React on Rails
+
 Because you will probably want to run RSpec tests that rely on compiled webpack assets (typically, your integration/feature specs where `js: true`), you will want to ensure you don't accidentally run tests on missing or stale webpack assets. If you did use stale Webpack assets, you will get invalid test results as your tests do not use the very latest JavaScript code.

+## Upgrading to v12
+### Recent versions
+Make sure that you are on a relatively more recent version of rails and webpacker.
+v12 is tested on Rails 6. It should work on Rails v5. If you're on an older version, 
+and v12 doesn't work, please file an issue.

+  format is more efficient.
+
+### Updated API for `ReactOnRails.register()`
+
+In order to solve the issues regarding React Hooks compatibility, the number of parameters
+for functions is used to determine if you have a render function that will get invoked to
+return a React component, or you are registering a React component defined by a function.
+
+##### Correct
+
+Registered Objects are of the following types. Either of these will work:
+1. Take **2 params** and return **a React function or class component**. A function component is a function
+   that takes zero or one params and returns a React Element, like JSX.
+    ```js
+    export default (props, _railsContext) => () => <Component {...props} />;
+    ```
+
+2. Take only zero or one params and you return a React Element, often JSX.
+    ```js
+    export default (props) => <Component {...props} />;
+    ```
+##### Broken, as this function takes two params and it returns a React Element from a JSX Literal
+```js
+export default (props, _railsContext) => <Component {...props} />;
+```
+
+If you make this mistake, you'll get this warning
+`Warning: React.createElement: type is invalid -- expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: <Fragment />. Did you accidentally export a JSX literal instead of a component?`
+
+And this error:
+`react-dom.development.js:23965 Uncaught Error: Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: object.`
+
+In this example, you need to wrap the `<Component {...props} />` in a function call like this which
+results in the return value being a React function component.
+
+```js
+export default (props, _railsContext) => () => <Component {...props} />;
+```
+
+If you have a pure component, taking one or zero parameters, and you have an unnecessary function
+wrapper such that you're returning a function rather than a React Element, then:
+
+1. You won't see anything render.
+2. You will see this warning in development mode: `Warning: Functions are not valid as a React child. This may happen if you return a Component instead of <Component /> from render. Or maybe you meant to call this function rather than return it.`

+## Upgrading rails/webpacker from v3 to v4
+### Custom Webpack build file
+The default value for `extract_css` is **false** in `config/webpack.yml`. Custom webpack builds should set this value to true or else no CSS link tags are generated. You have a custom webpack build if you are not using [rails/webpacker](https://github.com/rails/webpacker to setup your Webpack configuration.
+
+  ```yml
+  default: &default
+     # other stuff
+     extract_css: true
+     # by default, extract and emit a css file. The default is false
+  ```

 ## Upgrading to version 11
 * Remove `server_render_method` from config/initializers/react_on_rails.rb. Alternate server rendering methods are part of React on Rails Pro. If you want to use a custom renderer, contact justin@shakacode.com. We have a custom node rendering solution in production for egghead.io.
 * Remove your usage of ENV["TRACE_REACT_ON_RAILS"] usage. You can get all tracing with either specifying **`trace`** at your component or in your config/initializers/react_on_rails.rb file.
 * ReactOnRails::Utils.server_bundle_file_name and ReactOnRails::Utils.bundle_file_name were removed. React on Rails Pro contains upgrades to enable component and other types caching with React on Rails.

This means that react will tear all of the server rendered code out of the DOM, and then rerender it a moment later once the code chunk arrives from the server, defeating most of the purpose of server rendering.
 
 ### The solution
 
-To prevent this, you have to wait until the code chunk is fetched before doing the initial render on the client side. To accomplish this, react on rails allows you to register a renderer. This works just like registering a generator function, except that the function you pass takes three arguments: `renderer(props, railsContext, domNodeId)`, and is responsible for calling `ReactDOM.render` or `ReactDOM.hydrate` to render the component to the DOM. React on rails will automatically detect when a generator function takes three arguments, and will not call `ReactDOM.render` or `ReactDOM.hydrate`, instead allowing you to control the initial render yourself. Note, you have to be careful to call `ReactDOM.hydrate` rather than `ReactDOM.render` if you are are server rendering.

This will cause the request to be handled by the Rails router, which will send back a 404 response, assuming that you don't have a catch-all route. In your javascript console, you'll get the following error:

+However, if you want to run a custom command to run webpack to build your bundles, then you will:
+1. Ensure you do not have a `config/webpack/production.js` file
+1. Define `config.build_production_command` in your [config/initializers/react_on_rails.rb](docs/basics/configuration.md)
+
+Then React on Rails modifies the `assets:precompile` task to run your `build_production_command`.
 
 If you have used the provided generator, these bundles will automatically be added to your `.gitignore` to prevent extraneous noise from re-generated code in your pull requests. You will want to do this manually if you do not use the provided generator.

 1. Set your registration file as an "entry" point in your Webpack configs.
 1. Add the [Manifest plugin](https://github.com/danethurber/webpack-manifest-plugin) to your config. For examples see [dummy config](../../spec/dummy/client/webpack.client.base.config.js).
 The default path: `public/webpack` can be loaded with webpackConfigLoader as shown in the dummy example.
 1. You create scripts in `client/package.json` per the example apps. These are used for building your Webpack assets. Also do this for your top level `package.json`.

-1. Add  `gem "webpacker"` to the Gemfile, run bundle. The gem provides the `stylesheet_pack_tag` and `javascript_pack_tag` helpers which is used to load the bundled assets to your layouts.[Dummy Example](../../spec/dummy/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb)

If you are not using hot reloading, then you only need to configure your `application.js` file to include your Webpack generated files.

 ## The Solution: Symlink Original File Names to New File Names
-React on Rails creates symlinks of non-digested versions (original webpack digested file names) 
-to the Rails deployed digested versions when doing a Rails assets compile. The solution is 
-implemented using `assets:precompile` after-hook in 
-file [lib/tasks/assets.rake](../../lib/tasks/assets.rake)
-The assets for symlinking are defined by `config.symlink_non_digested_assets_regex` in
