   This library covers more than what React 19 offers currently: #239 (comment)

   Do we really need react-helmet-async in react 19?

   Again, yes, React 19 features do not cover everything

   For those getting a warning or don't want to everytime run an npm i --force add this to package.json:

   "overrides": { "react-helmet-async": { "react": "^19.0.0", "react-dom": "^19.0.0" } }

   Option 1: Use --legacy-peer-deps (recommended for now)
   This tells npm to install it anyway and ignore the peer conflict:

   npm install react-helmet-async --legacy-peer-deps

   ✅ Works in most cases if the package still functions fine under React 19 (which it probably does unless there are breaking changes).

   Option 2: Use --force (riskier)

   npm install react-helmet-async --force

   This forces npm to install it no matter what. But be careful — this can break stuff if the library really isn't compatible.

   I installed react-helmet with npm install react-helmet-async --legacy-peer-deps
   Is there a way to test my metadata on localhost?
   cause i don't see on any component any of my metadata.
   Is the legacy-peer-deps the correct way?
   thanks!
