Upgrade to react-redux v6, move to React.createContext and React 16.6

[alexreardon]

react-redux v6 just came out, so it is time to move to React.createContext

I think it makes sense to move to React 16.6 in order to use Class.contextType

Because this will change the peer dep version this will be a breaking change

The only sad thing about this is react-redux v6 is a little slower than v5. I will need to see if it has a material impact on things. Otherwise we might need to role something custom

Thank you for react beautiful DND. It's saved me soo much time.

I'm wondering if it's possible to separate some of these items into their own PRs/Releases?

I'm using a few packages that depend on an older version of react-redux and it's going to take some time for those packages to land new releases (meaning I can't bump to react-redux v6 just yet). In the meantime I would love to see React.createContext implemented in this package to help reduce the number of errors I get with StrictMode.

What do you think? Is this feasible? 🙂

Thank you.

Hey @JamieDixon, It should be completely fine to have multiple versions of react-redux in your codebase. Are you worried about the increase in bundle size?

Done in 11.0
