Description

As there is no clear public outlet for azure-devops-ui support, I will raise my question over here:

When adding azure-devops-ui to a newly created React 17 app I get the following error:

Found: react@17.0.2
npm ERR! node_modules/react
npm ERR!   react@"^17.0.2" from the root project
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Could not resolve dependency:
npm ERR! peer react@"^16.8.1" from azure-devops-ui@2.167.1
npm ERR! node_modules/azure-devops-ui
npm ERR!   azure-devops-ui@"*" from the root project

So I guess I need to downgrade to React 16. Are there any short term plans to make the UI library compatible with React 17?
Or maybe even better, convert it to web components? In order to get it consumed by Blazor, Angular, Vue, etc.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the azure-devops-ui@2.167.1 peer dependency shown in the report and determine whether React 17 compatibility is planned. The issue names no repository files or tests; done would require a clear compatibility decision or implementation scope, including whether web-component support is being considered.
