ReleaseRun Badges for React
Live version freshness, EOL status, CVE counts, and health badges for React. Embed in your README, docs, or dashboard.
Live Badges
Why Use React Health Badges?
React is a core technology in front-end UI libraries across thousands of production systems. React 17 is no longer maintained; projects still on it miss critical security patches. A health badge embedded in your README or dashboard shows at a glance whether your version is still supported — without manual changelog hunting.
ReleaseRun’s React health badges give JavaScript teams a live signal that updates automatically as new versions ship. Paste one line of Markdown and your badge is live.
What React Badges Track
- EOL status — is your React version still receiving patches from Meta?
- Latest stable version — always shows the current release so your team can plan upgrades
- Security status — flags versions with known CVEs or no active security support
- Release age — highlights how far behind your pinned version is
How to Add a React Badge
Copy the Markdown snippet below and paste it into your project README. The badge updates automatically — no CI step, no token, no install.

You can also embed as an HTML <img> tag in wikis, Notion docs, or internal dashboards. See the badge builder for custom styles and sizes.
Who Needs React Badges?
Any team running React in production benefits from a visible health indicator. That includes open-source maintainers who want contributors to know the project is current, platform teams managing internal services, and security engineers who need a quick EOL audit across a microservices fleet.
If your organisation runs multiple React projects, ReleaseRun’s stack health checker gives you a single-page overview of every version across your entire stack.

Upgrade Guidance
Running an older version of React? Here's what to consider when planning your upgrade:
- Check breaking changes in release notes
- Review EOL dates for your current version
- Test in staging before production rollout
- Consider LTS versions for stability
