Content & configuration
I'm using a vanilla Swagger Page inside a Next.js 15 / React 19 application:
"use client";
import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import SwaggerUI from "swagger-ui-react";
import "swagger-ui-react/swagger-ui.css";
function SwaggerPage() {
const [spec, setSpec] = useState<any>(null);
useEffect(() => {
fetch("/api/swagger")
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => setSpec(data));
}, []);
if (!spec) {
return <div>Loading...</div>;
}
return <SwaggerUI spec={spec} />;
}
export default SwaggerPage;
Describe the bug you're encountering
I'm seeing the following error starting in Swagger-UI 5.18.0 and continuing through 5.18.2 on my Swagger page:
Using UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps in strict mode is not recommended and may indicate bugs in your code. See https://react.dev/link/unsafe-component-lifecycles for details.
* Move data fetching code or side effects to componentDidUpdate.
* If you're updating state whenever props change, refactor your code to use memoization techniques or move it to static getDerivedStateFromProps. Learn more at: https://react.dev/link/derived-state
Please update the following components: OperationContainer
To reproduce...
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to the Swagger UI page
- Page throws an error

Research direction
Start by reproducing the warning with Swagger UI 5.18.x in the provided Next.js 15 and React 19 example, then trace the reported OperationContainer component. Confirm the change removes the UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps warning without breaking the Swagger page, and verify the reproduction steps again.
