Migration from v4 to v5
Yeah, v5 has been released!
Looking for the v4 docs? Find them here.
This document is a work in progress. Have you upgraded your site and run into something that's not covered here? Add your changes on GitHub.
Introduction
This is a reference for upgrading your site from Material-UI v4 to v5. While there's a lot covered here, you probably won't need to do everything for your site. We'll do our best to keep things easy to follow, and as sequential as possible so you can quickly get rocking on v5!
Why you should migrate
This documentation page covers the how of migrating from v4 to v5. The why is covered in the release blog post on Medium.
Updating your dependencies
The very first thing you will need to do is to update your dependencies.
Update Material-UI version
You need to update your package.json
to use the latest version of Material-UI.
"dependencies": {
"@material-ui/core": "^5.0.0-alpha.1"
}
Or run
npm install @material-ui/core@next
or
yarn add @material-ui/core@next
Handling breaking changes
Supported browsers and node versions
The targets of the default bundle have changed.
The exact versions will be pinned on release from the browserslist query "> 0.5%, last 2 versions, Firefox ESR, not dead, not IE 11, maintained node versions"
.
The default bundle now supports:
- Node 10 (up from 8)
- Chrome 84 (up from 49)
- Edge 85 (up from 14)
- Firefox 78 (up from 52)
- Safari 13 (macOS) and 12.2 (iOS) (up from 10)
- and more (see .browserslistrc (
stable
entry))
It no longer supports IE 11. If you need to support IE 11, check out our legacy bundle.
non-ref-forwarding class components
Support for non-ref-forwarding class components in the component
prop or as an immediate children
has been dropped. If you were using unstable_createStrictModeTheme
or didn't see any warnings related to findDOMNode
in React.StrictMode
then you don't need to do anything.
Otherwise check out the "Caveat with refs" section in our composition guide to find out how to migrate.
This change affects almost all components where you're using the component
prop or passing children
to components that require children
to be elements (e.g. <MenuList><CustomMenuItem /></MenuList>
)
Theme
- Breakpoints are now treated as values instead of ranges. The behavior of
down(key)
was changed to define media query less than the value defined with the corresponding breakpoint (exclusive). Thebetween(start, end)
was also updated to define media query for the values between the actual values of start (inclusive) and end (exclusive). When using thedown()
breakpoints utility you need to update the breakpoint key by one step up. When using thebetween(start, end)
the end breakpoint should also be updated by one step up. The same should be done when using theHidden
component. Find examples of the changes required defined below:
-theme.breakpoints.down('sm') // '@media (max-width:959.95px)' - [0, sm + 1) => [0, md)
+theme.breakpoints.down('md') // '@media (max-width:959.95px)' - [0, md)
-theme.breakpoints.between('sm', 'md') // '@media (min-width:600px) and (max-width:1279.95px)' - [sm, md + 1) => [0, lg)
+theme.breakpoints.between('sm', 'lg') // '@media (min-width:600px) and (max-width:1279.95px)' - [0, lg)
-theme.breakpoints.between('sm', 'xl') // '@media (min-width:600px)'
+theme.breakpoints.up('sm') // '@media (min-width:600px)'
-<Hidden smDown>{...}</Hidden> // '@media (min-width:600px)'
+<Hidden mdDown>{...}</Hidden> // '@media (min-width:600px)'
Upgrade helper
For a smoother transition, the adaptV4Theme
helper allows you to iteratively upgrade some of the theme changes to the new theme structure.
-import { createMuiTheme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
+import { createMuiTheme, adaptV4Theme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
-const theme = createMuiTheme({
+const theme = createMuiTheme(adaptV4Theme({
// v4 theme
-});
+}));
The following changes are supported by the adapter.
Changes
The "gutters" abstraction hasn't proven to be used frequently enough to be valuable.
-theme.mixins.gutters(), +paddingLeft: theme.spacing(2), +paddingRight: theme.spacing(2), +[theme.breakpoints.up('sm')]: { + paddingLeft: theme.spacing(3), + paddingRight: theme.spacing(3), +},
theme.spacing
now returns single values with px units by default. This change improves the integration with styled-components & emotion.Before:
theme.spacing(2) => 16
After:
theme.spacing(2) => '16px'
The
theme.palette.text.hint
key was unused in Material-UI components, and has been removed.
import { createMuiTheme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
-const theme = createMuiTheme(),
+const theme = createMuiTheme({
+ palette: { text: { hint: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.38)' } },
+});
import { createMuiTheme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
-const theme = createMuiTheme({palette: { type: 'dark' }}),
+const theme = createMuiTheme({
+ palette: { type: 'dark', text: { hint: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.38)' } },
+});
The components' definition inside the theme were restructure under the
components
key, to allow people easier discoverability about the definitions regarding one component.The
theme.palette.type
was renamed totheme.palette.mode
, to better follow the "dark mode" term that is usually used for describing this feature.
import { createMuiTheme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
-const theme = createMuiTheme({palette: { type: 'dark' }}),
+const theme = createMuiTheme({palette: { mode: 'dark' }}),
props
import { createMuiTheme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
const theme = createMuiTheme({
- props: {
- MuiButton: {
- disableRipple: true,
- },
- },
+ components: {
+ MuiButton: {
+ defaultProps: {
+ disableRipple: true,
+ },
+ },
+ },
});
overrides
import { createMuiTheme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
const theme = createMuiTheme({
- overrides: {
- MuiButton: {
- root: { padding: 0 },
- },
- },
+ components: {
+ MuiButton: {
+ styleOverrides: {
+ root: { padding: 0 },
+ },
+ },
+ },
});
Styles
- Renamed
fade
toalpha
to better describe its functionality. The previous name was leading to confusion when the input color already had an alpha value. The helper overrides the alpha value of the color.
- import { fade } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
+ import { alpha } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
const classes = makeStyles(theme => ({
- backgroundColor: fade(theme.palette.primary.main, theme.palette.action.selectedOpacity),
+ backgroundColor: alpha(theme.palette.primary.main, theme.palette.action.selectedOpacity),
}));
Alert
Move the component from the lab to the core. The component is now stable.
-import Alert from '@material-ui/lab/Alert'; -import AlertTitle from '@material-ui/lab/AlertTitle'; +import Alert from '@material-ui/core/Alert'; +import AlertTitle from '@material-ui/core/AlertTitle';
Autocomplete
Move the component from the lab to the core. The component is now stable.
-import Autocomplete from '@material-ui/lab/Autocomplete'; -import useAutocomplete from '@material-ui/lab/useAutocomplete'; +import Autocomplete from '@material-ui/core/Autocomplete'; +import useAutoComplete from '@material-ui/core/useAutocomplete';
Avatar
Rename
circle
tocircular
for consistency. The possible values should be adjectives, not nouns:-<Avatar variant="circle"> -<Avatar classes={{ circle: 'className' }}> +<Avatar variant="circular"> +<Avatar classes={{ circular: 'className' }}>
Move the AvatarGroup from the lab to the core.
-import AvatarGroup from '@material-ui/lab/AvatarGroup'; +import AvatarGroup from '@material-ui/core/AvatarGroup';
Badge
Rename
circle
tocircular
andrectangle
torectangular
for consistency. The possible values should be adjectives, not nouns:-<Badge overlap="circle"> -<Badge overlap="rectangle"> +<Badge overlap="circular"> +<Badge overlap="rectangular"> <Badge classes={{ - anchorOriginTopRightRectangle: 'className' - anchorOriginBottomRightRectangle: 'className' - anchorOriginTopLeftRectangle: 'className' - anchorOriginBottomLeftRectangle: 'className' - anchorOriginTopRightCircle: 'className' - anchorOriginBottomRightCircle: 'className' - anchorOriginTopLeftCircle: 'className' + anchorOriginTopRightRectangular: 'className' + anchorOriginBottomRightRectangular: 'className' + anchorOriginTopLeftRectangular: 'className' + anchorOriginBottomLeftRectangular: 'className' + anchorOriginTopRightCircular: 'className' + anchorOriginBottomRightCircular: 'className' + anchorOriginTopLeftCircular: 'className' }}>
BottomNavigation
TypeScript: The
event
inonChange
is no longer typed as aReact.ChangeEvent
butReact.SyntheticEvent
.-<BottomNavigation onChange={(event: React.ChangeEvent<{}>) => {}} /> +<BottomNavigation onChange={(event: React.SyntheticEvent) => {}} />
Button
The button
color
prop is now "primary" by default, and "default" has been removed. This makes the button closer to the Material Design specification and simplifies the API.-<Button color="primary" /> -<Button color="default" /> +<Button /> +<Button />
CircularProgress
The
static
variant has been merged into thedeterminate
variant, with the latter assuming the appearance of the former. The removed variant was rarely useful. It was an exception to Material Design, and was removed from the specification.-<CircularProgress variant="determinate" />
-<CircularProgress variant="static" classes={{ static: 'className' }} /> +<CircularProgress variant="determinate" classes={{ determinate: 'className' }} />
NB: If you had previously customized determinate, your customizations are probably no longer valid. Please remove them.
Collapse
The
collapsedHeight
prop was renamedcollapsedSize
to support the horizontal direction.-<Collapse collapsedHeight={40}> +<Collapse collapsedSize={40}>
The
classes.container
key was changed to match the convention of the other components.-<Collapse classes={{ container: 'collapse' }}> +<Collapse classes={{ root: 'collapse' }}>
Dialog
The onE* transition props were removed. Use TransitionProps instead.
<Dialog - onEnter={onEnter} - onEntered={onEntered}, - onEntering={onEntered}, - onExit={onEntered}, - onExited={onEntered}, - onExiting={onEntered} + TransitionProps={{ + onEnter, + onEntered, + onEntering, + onExit, + onExited, + onExiting, + }} />
[withMobileDialog] Remove this higher-order component. The hook API allows a simpler and more flexible solution:
-import withMobileDialog from '@material-ui/core/withMobileDialog'; +import { useTheme, useMediaQuery } from '@material-ui/core'; function ResponsiveDialog(props) { - const { fullScreen } = props; + const theme = useTheme(); + const fullScreen = useMediaQuery(theme.breakpoints.down('sm')); const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false); // ... -export default withMobileDialog()(ResponsiveDialog); +export default ResponsiveDialog;
Divider
Use border instead of background color. It prevents inconsistent height on scaled screens. For people customizing the color of the border, the change requires changing the override CSS property:
.MuiDivider-root { - background-color: #f00; + border-color: #f00; }
ExpansionPanel
Rename the
ExpansionPanel
components toAccordion
to use a more common naming convention:-import ExpansionPanel from '@material-ui/core/ExpansionPanel'; -import ExpansionPanelSummary from '@material-ui/core/ExpansionPanelSummary'; -import ExpansionPanelDetails from '@material-ui/core/ExpansionPanelDetails'; -import ExpansionPanelActions from '@material-ui/core/ExpansionPanelActions'; +import Accordion from '@material-ui/core/Accordion'; +import AccordionSummary from '@material-ui/core/AccordionSummary'; +import AccordionDetails from '@material-ui/core/AccordionDetails'; +import AccordionActions from '@material-ui/core/AccordionActions'; -<ExpansionPanel> +<Accordion> - <ExpansionPanelSummary> + <AccordionSummary> <Typography>Location</Typography> <Typography>Select trip destination</Typography> - </ExpansionPanelSummary> + </AccordionSummary> - <ExpansionPanelDetails> + <AccordionDetails> <Chip label="Barbados" onDelete={() => {}} /> <Typography variant="caption">Select your destination of choice</Typography> - </ExpansionPanelDetails> + </AccordionDetails> <Divider /> - <ExpansionPanelActions> + <AccordionActions> <Button size="small">Cancel</Button> <Button size="small">Save</Button> - </ExpansionPanelActions> + </AccordionActions> -</ExpansionPanel> +</Accordion>
TypeScript: The
event
inonChange
is no longer typed as aReact.ChangeEvent
butReact.SyntheticEvent
.-<Accordion onChange={(event: React.ChangeEvent<{}>, expanded: boolean) => {}} /> +<Accordion onChange={(event: React.SyntheticEvent, expanded: boolean) => {}} />
Rename
focused
tofocusVisible
for consistency:<Accordion classes={{ - focused: 'custom-focus-visible-classname', + focusVisible: 'custom-focus-visible-classname', }} />
Remove
display: flex
from AccordionDetails as its too opinionated. Most developers expect a display block.Remove
IconButtonProps
prop from AccordionSummary. The component renders a<div>
element instead of an IconButton. The prop is no longer necessary.
Fab
Rename
round
tocircular
for consistency. The possible values should be adjectives, not nouns:-<Fab variant="round"> +<Fab variant="circular">
Chip
- Rename
default
variant tofilled
for consistency.-<Chip variant="default"> +<Chip variant="filled">
Grid
Rename
justify
prop withjustifyContent
to be aligned with the CSS property name.-<Grid justify="center"> +<Grid justifyContent="center">
GridList
- Rename the
GridList
components toImageList
to align with the current Material Design naming. - Rename the GridList
spacing
prop togap
to align with the CSS attribute. - Rename the GridList
cellHeight
prop torowHieght
. - Add the
variant
prop to GridList. - Rename the GridListItemBar
actionPosition
prop toposition
. (Note also the related classname changes.) - Use CSS object-fit. For IE11 support either use a polyfill such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/object-fit-images, or continue to use the v4 component.
-import GridList from '@material-ui/core/GridList';
-import GridListTile from '@material-ui/core/GridListTile';
-import GridListTileBar from '@material-ui/core/GridListTileBar';
+import ImageList from '@material-ui/core/ImageList';
+import ImageListItem from '@material-ui/core/ImageListItem';
+import ImageListItemBar from '@material-ui/core/ImageListItemBar';
-<GridList spacing={8} cellHeight={200}>
- <GridListTile>
+<ImageList gap={8} rowHeight={200}>
+ <ImageListItem>
<img src="file.jpg" alt="Image title" />
- <GridListTileBar
+ <ImageListItemBar
title="Title"
subtitle="Subtitle"
/>
- </GridListTile>
-</GridList>
+ </ImageListItem>
+</ImageList>
Menu
The onE* transition props were removed. Use TransitionProps instead.
<Menu - onEnter={onEnter} - onEntered={onEntered}, - onEntering={onEntered}, - onExit={onEntered}, - onExited={onEntered}, - onExiting={onEntered} + TransitionProps={{ + onEnter, + onEntered, + onEntering, + onExit, + onExited, + onExiting, + }} >
Modal
- Remove
onRendered
prop. Depending on your use case either use a callback ref on the child element or an effect hook in the child component.
Pagination
Move the component from the lab to the core. The component is now stable.
-import Pagination from '@material-ui/lab/Pagination'; -import PaginationItem from '@material-ui/lab/PaginationItem'; -import { usePagination } from '@material-ui/lab/Pagination'; +import Pagination from '@material-ui/core/Pagination'; +import PaginationItem from '@material-ui/core/PaginationItem'; +import usePagination from '@material-ui/core/usePagination';
Rename
round
tocircular
for consistency. The possible values should be adjectives, not nouns:-<Pagination shape="round"> -<PaginationItem shape="round"> +<Pagination shape="circular"> +<PaginationItem shape="circular">
Popover
The onE* transition props were removed. Use TransitionProps instead.
<Popover - onEnter={onEnter} - onEntered={onEntered}, - onEntering={onEntered}, - onExit={onEntered}, - onExited={onEntered}, - onExiting={onEntered} + TransitionProps={{ + onEnter, + onEntered, + onEntering, + onExit, + onExited, + onExiting, + }} />
Popper
Upgrade Popper.js from v1 to v2. This third-party library has introduced a lot of changes.
You can read their migration guide or the following summary:The CSS prefixes have changed:
popper: { zIndex: 1, - '&[x-placement*="bottom"] $arrow': { + '&[data-popper-placement*="bottom"] $arrow': {
Method names have changed.
-popperRef.current.scheduleUpdate() +popperRef.current.update()
-popperRef.current.update() +popperRef.current.forceUpdate()
Modifiers' API has changed a lot. There are too many changes to be covered here.
Portal
- Remove
onRendered
prop. Depending on your use case either use a callback ref on the child element or an effect hook in the child component.
Rating
Move the component from the lab to the core. The component is now stable.
-import Rating from '@material-ui/lab/Rating'; +import Rating from '@material-ui/core/Rating';
Change the default empty icon to improve accessibility. If you have a custom
icon
prop but noemptyIcon
prop, you can restore the previous behavior with:<Rating icon={customIcon} + emptyIcon={null} />
Rename
visuallyhidden
tovisuallyHidden
for consistency:<Rating classes={{ - visuallyhidden: 'custom-visually-hidden-classname', + visuallyHidden: 'custom-visually-hidden-classname', }} />
RootRef
This component was removed. You can get a reference to the underlying DOM node of our components via
ref
prop. The component relied onReactDOM.findDOMNode
which is deprecated inReact.StrictMode
.-<RootRef rootRef={ref}> - <Button /> -</RootRef> +<Button ref={ref} />
Skeleton
Move the component from the lab to the core. The component is now stable.
-import Skeleton from '@material-ui/lab/Skeleton'; +import Skeleton from '@material-ui/core/Skeleton';
Rename
circle
tocircular
andrect
torectangular
for consistency. The possible values should be adjectives, not nouns:-<Skeleton variant="circle" /> -<Skeleton variant="rect" /> -<Skeleton classes={{ circle: 'custom-circle-classname', rect: 'custom-rect-classname', }} /> +<Skeleton variant="circular" /> +<Skeleton variant="rectangular" /> +<Skeleton classes={{ circular: 'custom-circle-classname', rectangular: 'custom-rect-classname', }} />
Slider
TypeScript: The
event
inonChange
is no longer typed as aReact.ChangeEvent
butReact.SyntheticEvent
.-<Slider onChange={(event: React.ChangeEvent<{}>, value: unknown) => {}} /> +<Slider onChange={(event: React.SyntheticEvent, value: unknown) => {}} />
Snackbar
The notification now displays at the bottom left on large screens. This better matches the behavior of Gmail, Google Keep, material.io, etc. You can restore the previous behavior with:
-<Snackbar /> +<Snackbar anchorOrigin={{ vertical: 'bottom', horizontal: 'center' }} />
The onE* transition props were removed. Use TransitionProps instead.
<Snackbar - onEnter={onEnter} - onEntered={onEntered}, - onEntering={onEntered}, - onExit={onEntered}, - onExited={onEntered}, - onExiting={onEntered} + TransitionProps={{ + onEnter, + onEntered, + onEntering, + onExit, + onExited, + onExiting, + }} />
SpeedDial
Move the component from the lab to the core. The component is now stable.
-import SpeedDial from '@material-ui/lab/SpeedDial'; -import SpeedDialAction from '@material-ui/lab/SpeedDialAction'; -import SpeedDialIcon from '@material-ui/lab/SpeedDialIcon'; +import SpeedDial from '@material-ui/core/SpeedDial'; +import SpeedDialAction from '@material-ui/core/SpeedDialAction'; +import SpeedDialIcon from '@material-ui/core/SpeedDialIcon';
Stepper
The root component (Paper) was replaced with a div. Stepper no longer has elevation, nor inherits Paper's props. This change is meant to encourage composition.
-<Stepper elevation={2}> - <Step> - <StepLabel>Hello world</StepLabel> - </Step> -</Stepper> +<Paper square elevation={2}> + <Stepper> + <Step> + <StepLabel>Hello world</StepLabel> + </Step> + </Stepper> +<Paper>
Remove the built-in 24px padding.
-<Stepper> - <Step> - <StepLabel>Hello world</StepLabel> - </Step> -</Stepper> +<Stepper style={{ padding: 24 }}> + <Step> + <StepLabel>Hello world</StepLabel> + </Step> +</Stepper>
Table
The customization of the table pagination's actions labels must be done with the
getItemAriaLabel
prop. This increases consistency with thePagination
component.<TablePagination - backIconButtonText="Avant" - nextIconButtonText="Après + getItemAriaLabel={…}
Rename
onChangeRowsPerPage
toonRowsPerPageChange
andonChangePage
toonPageChange
due to API consistency.<TablePagination - onChangeRowsPerPage={()=>{}} - onChangePage={()=>{}} + onRowsPerPageChange={()=>{}} + onPageChange={()=>{}}
Tabs
TypeScript: The
event
inonChange
is no longer typed as aReact.ChangeEvent
butReact.SyntheticEvent
.-<Tabs onChange={(event: React.ChangeEvent<{}>, value: unknown) => {}} /> +<Tabs onChange={(event: React.SyntheticEvent, value: unknown) => {}} />
The API that controls the scroll buttons has been split it in two props.
- The
scrollButtons
prop controls when the scroll buttons are displayed depending on the space available. - The
allowScrollButtonsMobile
prop removes the CSS media query that systematically hide the scroll buttons on mobile.
-<Tabs scrollButtons="on" /> -<Tabs scrollButtons="desktop" /> -<Tabs scrollButtons="off" /> +<Tabs scrollButtons allowScrollButtonsMobile /> +<Tabs scrollButtons /> +<Tabs scrollButtons={false} />
- The
TextField
Better isolate the fixed textarea height behavior to the dynamic one. You need to use the
minRows
prop in the following case:-<TextField rows={2} maxRows={5} /> +<TextField minRows={2} maxRows={5} />
Rename
rowsMax
prop withmaxRows
for consistency with HTML attributes.-<TextField rowsMax={6}> +<TextField maxRows={6}>
Change ref forwarding expections on custom
inputComponent
. The component should forward theref
prop instead of theinputRef
prop.-function NumberFormatCustom(props) { - const { inputRef, onChange, ...other } = props; +const NumberFormatCustom = React.forwardRef(function NumberFormatCustom( + props, + ref, +) { const { onChange, ...other } = props; return ( <NumberFormat {...other} - getInputRef={inputRef} + getInputRef={ref}
TextareaAutosize
Remove the
rows
prop, use theminRows
prop instead. This change aims to clarify the behavior of the prop.-<TextareaAutosize rows={2} /> +<TextareaAutosize minRows={2} />
Rename
rowsMax
prop withmaxRows
for consistency with HTML attributes.-<TextareAutosize rowsMax={6}> +<TextareAutosize maxRows={6}>
Rename
rowsMin
prop withminRows
for consistency with HTML attributes.-<TextareAutosize rowsMin={1}> +<TextareAutosize minRows={1}>
ToggleButton
Move the component from the lab to the core. The component is now stable.
-import ToggleButton from '@material-ui/lab/ToggleButton'; -import ToggleButtonGroup from '@material-ui/lab/ToggleButtonGroup'; +import ToggleButton from '@material-ui/core/ToggleButton'; +import ToggleButtonGroup from '@material-ui/core/ToggleButtonGroup';
Tooltip
Tooltips are now interactive by default.
The previous default behavior failed success criterion 1.4.3 ("hoverable") in WCAG 2.1. To reflect the new default value, the prop was renamed to
disableInteractive
. If you want to restore the old behavior (thus not reaching level AA), you can apply the following diff:-<Tooltip> +<Tooltip disableInteractive> # Interactive tooltips no longer need the `interactive` prop. -<Tooltip interactive> +<Tooltip>
Typography
Replace the
srOnly
prop so as to not duplicate the capabilities of System:-import Typography from '@material-ui/core/Typography'; +import { visuallyHidden } from '@material-ui/system'; +import styled from 'styled-component'; +const Span = styled('span')(visuallyHidden); -<Typography variant="srOnly">Create a user</Typography> +<Span>Create a user</Span>
