What should I use instead of recompose?

recompose's functionality was absorbed into react. react is not a drop-in replacement, so expect to change call sites.

How to migrate from recompose to react

Higher-order components map fairly directly onto hooks: withState becomes useState, withHandlers becomes plain functions or useCallback, and lifecycle becomes useEffect.

Why recompose is on this list

In October 2018 the author added a note to the recompose README saying he was discontinuing active maintenance because React Hooks solve the problems recompose was built to address. The repository was archived in September 2022. Existing code keeps working, but the last release, 0.30.0, predates the note.

The succession is settled: primary sources agree and the ecosystem has already moved.

recompose alternatives

The dataset lists no second option: react is where the ecosystem went, and nothing else has meaningful adoption.

Check your own project for recompose

npx dead-deps --all --min-state unmaintained

Run that in the directory holding your lockfile. If recompose is anywhere in your tree — a direct dependency or buried under something else — it appears in the report with this verdict, this successor and the same evidence links, alongside anything else that has stopped moving. Nothing is uploaded; the scan reads your lockfile locally and queries public registry metadata.

Exit code 1 means something was flagged, which makes npx dead-deps --min-state deprecated usable as a CI gate. See how verdicts are produced.
