React 19 will remove findDOMNode

[ElliotNB]

React 19 will be officially released in June/July 2024 and it removes the deprecated ReactDOM.findDOMNode utility. It appears that this will prevent react-quill users from upgrading to React 19.

I recently installed React 18.3 (which was released about a week ago) and it started issuing warnings about this:

Warning: findDOMNode is deprecated and will be removed in the next major release. Instead, add a ref directly to the element you want to reference. Learn more about using refs safely here: https://reactjs.org/link/strict-mode-find-node

I didn't see another issue opened regarding the removal of findDOMNode so I thought I'd bring this issue to the attention of the maintainers (@zenoamaro @alexkrolick).

Thank you for your on-going maintenance of this project!

Ticket due diligence

• I have verified that the issue persists under ReactQuill v2.0.0-beta.2
• I can't use the beta version for other reasons

ReactQuill version

• master
• v2.0.0-beta.2
• v2.0.0-beta.1
• 1.3.5
• 1.3.4 or older
• Other (fork)

Just in case. In the Quill playground, there's an example of using Quill with React: https://quilljs.com/playground/react

Here's a PR that proposes a fix for this issue: #980. Not sure if the maintainer(s) are actively monitoring, but I have been testing it locally and it works great.
