Peer dependency issue: `@docusaurus/plugin-ideal-image` throws a warning at install if react-19 is used

[fattila16]

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.

Prerequisites

• I'm using the latest version of Docusaurus.
• I have tried the npm run clear or yarn clear command.
• I have tried rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock package-lock.json and re-installing packages.
• I have tried creating a repro with https://new.docusaurus.io.
• I have read the console error message carefully (if applicable).

Description

With a fresh install of the latest docusaurus 3.7.0 and using the official plugin @docusaurus/plugin-ideal-image, after you've ran npm install the following warnings are thrown:

npm warn Conflicting peer dependency: react@18.3.1
npm warn node_modules/react
npm warn   peer react@"^15.3.0 || ^16.0.0 || ^17.0.0 || ^18.0.0" from react-waypoint@10.3.0
npm warn   node_modules/@docusaurus/plugin-ideal-image/node_modules/react-waypoint
npm warn     react-waypoint@"^10.3.0" from @docusaurus/plugin-ideal-image@3.7.0
npm warn     node_modules/@docusaurus/plugin-ideal-image
npm warn     1 more (@slorber/react-ideal-image)

What's the reason?

This plugin is depending on the slorber/react-ideal-image repository which depends on react-waypoint which as of my current knowledge does not support react 19 yet.

Currently I don't see an obvious solution to this as react-waypoint is not that active regarding contribution.
Possibly it should be switched to https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-intersection-observer which does support react 19 and can be used to achieve a similar functionality as react-waypoint is used. The latter uses scroll event listeners the prior uses the Intersection Observer API.

Reproducible demo

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. npx create-docusaurus@latest my-website classic --typescript
2. npm install --save @docusaurus/plugin-ideal-image

Expected behavior

A fresh setup of docusaurus and the ideal image plugin should not throw peer dependency issues

Actual behavior

npm i
npm warn ERESOLVE overriding peer dependency
npm warn While resolving: react-waypoint@10.3.0
npm warn Found: react@19.0.0
npm warn node_modules/react
npm warn   react@"^19.0.0" from the root project

Thanks for reporting, I'll study how to fix this, probably removing unmaintained react-waypoint usage in our fork here: https://github.com/slorber/docusaurus-react-ideal-image
