@celo/react-celo Release Notes (Beta 1)

Breaking changes

The Name

@celo-tools/use-contractkit became @celo/react-celo

The previous name had 3 issues we believe the new one addresses

1. The library was often confused with @celo/contractkit.
2. use implied it was just a react hook (no UI or Modal)
3. contractkit implied it was primarily about @celo/contractkit.

MiniContractKit

@celo/[email protected] or later is required as useCelo now uses and returns a MiniContractKit instead of ContractKit. By not loading the wrappers and ABIs for all celo core contracts this cut the size of files imported from celo packages in half: From 73k gzipped to 36k gzipped.

Minor Breaking Changes
