Description

Looking at https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#useid or https://beta.reactjs.org/reference/react/useId , I expect to see something indicating that useId was added in React 18. But I only see that stated at https://reactjs.org/blog/2022/03/29/react-v18.html .

I expect this on most functions.

This

  • Prevents users stuck on an older version from being confused about their inability to use a feature.
  • Helps long time users not overlook new features when reading docs for other reasons.

I appreciate docs like the Java JDK that provide this. https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/util/Collection.html#stream()

Since:
1.8

Research direction

Start with the Hooks Reference and the useId reference pages linked in the issue, then compare them with the React 18 release blog post to understand the existing version information. Done means the relevant React function reference documentation consistently indicates when features were added, including useId in React 18.
