[BUG] Doesn't work with React 18.0

[kamzata]

Software Package Version: 2.6.3

The buttons are loaded twice and I receive those errors on console. The buttons are loaded inside a MUI v5 modal window.

Desktop:

• OS: MacOS 12.3
• Browser: Chrome 99.0.4844.74
• React Version: 18.0

Yes, trying to solve this error since a month now.
Got the above with

npm list react

And getting the error below when trying to deploy on heroku

Use npm install react-paypal-button-v2 --legacy-peer-deps until React 8 compatibility is specified.

I think https://www.npmjs.com/package/@paypal/react-paypal-js is PayPal officially released library and implements what react-paypal-button-v2 doing. Is there anything not to be implemented by react-paypal-js?

[devuxer]

--legacy-peer-deps works, but it papers over all peer dep issues for your whole project, so this really isn't an ideal workaround.

It honestly looks like this library has been abandoned (no commits for 2 years).

@Luehang, if you can't support this anymore, can you let someone else take this over or provide a path forward for those using this library?

Meanwhile, I'll look into @paypal/react-paypal-js (thanks for the tip, @randyumi).
