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 and its peer dependencies.

"dependencies": {
  "@emotion/react": "^11.0.0",
  "@emotion/styled": "^11.0.0",
  "@material-ui/core": "^5.0.0"
}

Or run

npm install @material-ui/core@next @emotion/react @emotion/styled

or

yarn add @material-ui/core@next @emotion/react @emotion/styled

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 12 (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 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>)

Supported React version

The minimum supported version of React was increased from v16.8.0 to v17.0.0.

Supported TypeScript version

The minimum supported version of TypeScript was increased from v3.2 to v3.5. We try to align with types released from DefinitelyTyped (i.e. packages published on npm under the @types namespace). We will not change the minimum supported version in a major version of Material-UI. However, we generally recommend to not use a TypeScript version older than the lowest supported version of DefinitelyTyped

Styled engine

The styled engine used in v5 by default is emotion. While migrating from JSS to emotion, if you are using JSS style overrides for your components (for example overrides created by makeStyles), you need to take care of the CSS injection order. In order to do this, you need to have on the top of your application the StylesProvider with the injectFirst option. Here is an example of it:

import * as React from 'react';
import { StyledEngineProvider } from '@material-ui/core/styles';

export default function GlobalCssPriority() {
  return (
    <StyledEngineProvider injectFirst>
      {/* Your component tree. Now you can override Material-UI's styles. */}
    </StyledEngineProvider>
  );
}

Note: If you are using emotion and have a custom cache in your app, that one will override the one coming from Material-UI. In order for the injection order to still be correct, you need to add the prepend option. Here is an example:

import * as React from 'react';
import { CacheProvider } from '@emotion/react';
import createCache from '@emotion/cache';

const cache = createCache({
  key: 'css',
  prepend: true,
});

export default function PlainCssPriority() {
  return (
    <CacheProvider value={cache}>
      {/* Your component tree. Now you can override Material-UI's styles. */}
    </CacheProvider>
  );
}

Note: If you are using styled-components and have StyleSheetManager with a custom target, make sure that the target is the first element in the HTML <head>. If you are curious to see how it can be done, you can take a look on the StylesProvider implementation in the @material-ui/styled-engine-sc package.

Theme

  • The function createMuiTheme was renamed to createTheme to make more intuitive to use with ThemeProvider.

    -import { createMuiTheme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
    +import { createTheme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
    
    -const theme = createMuiTheme({
    +const theme = createTheme({
    
  • The default background color is now #fff in light mode and #121212 in dark mode. This matches the material design guidelines.

  • 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). The between(start, end) was also updated to define media query for the values between the actual values of start (inclusive) and end (exclusive). When using the down() breakpoints utility you need to update the breakpoint key by one step up. When using the between(start, end) the end breakpoint should also be updated by one step up. The same should be done when using the Hidden 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)'
    
  • The theme.breakpoints.width utility was removed because it's redundant. Use theme.breakpoints.values to get the same values.

    -theme.breakpoints.width('md')
    +theme.breakpoints.values.md
    
  • The signature of theme.palette.augmentColor helper has changed:

    -theme.palette.augmentColor(red);
    +theme.palette.augmentColor({ color: red, name: 'brand' });
    
  • The theme.typography.round helper was removed because it was no longer used. If you need it, use the function below:

    function round(value) {
      return Math.round(value * 1e5) / 1e5;
    }
    

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 { createTheme, adaptV4Theme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';

-const theme = createMuiTheme({
+const theme = createTheme(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.type key was renamed to theme.palette.mode, to better follow the "dark mode" term that is usually used for describing this feature.

    import { createTheme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
    -const theme = createTheme({palette: { type: 'dark' }}),
    +const theme = createTheme({palette: { mode: 'dark' }}),
    
  • The theme.palette.text.hint key was unused in Material-UI components, and has been removed. If you depend on it, you can add it back:

    import { createTheme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
    
    -const theme = createTheme(),
    +const theme = createTheme({
    +  palette: { text: { hint: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.38)' } },
    +});
    
  • The components' definitions inside the theme were restructured under the components key, to allow people easier discoverability about the definitions regarding one component.

  1. props
import { createTheme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';

const theme = createTheme({
-  props: {
-    MuiButton: {
-      disableRipple: true,
-    },
-  },
+  components: {
+    MuiButton: {
+      defaultProps: {
+        disableRipple: true,
+      },
+    },
+  },
});
  1. overrides
import { createTheme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';

const theme = createTheme({
-  overrides: {
-    MuiButton: {
-      root: { padding: 0 },
-    },
-  },
+  components: {
+    MuiButton: {
+      styleOverrides: {
+        root: { padding: 0 },
+      },
+    },
+  },
});

Styles

  • Renamed fade to alpha 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),
}));

-The createStyles function from @material-ui/core/styles was moved to the one exported from @material-ui/styles. It is necessary for removing the dependency to @material-ui/styles in the core package.

-import { createStyles } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
+import { createStyles } from '@material-ui/styles';

System

  • The following system functions (and properties) were renamed because they are considered deprecated CSS:

    1. gridGap to gap
    2. gridRowGap to rowGap
    3. gridColumnGap to columnGap
  • Use spacing unit in gap, rowGap, and columnGap. If you were using a number previously, you need to mention the px to bypass the new transformation with theme.spacing.

    <Box
    - gap={2}
    + gap="2px"
    >
    
  • Replace css prop with sx to avoid collision with styled-components & emotion CSS props.

-<Box css={{ color: 'primary.main' }} />
+<Box sx={{ color: 'primary.main' }} />

Core components

As the core components use emotion as a styled engine, the props used by emotion are not intercepted. The prop as in the following codesnippet will not be propagated to the SomeOtherComponent.

<MuiComponent component={SomeOtherComponent} as="button" />

AppBar

  • [AppBar] Remove z-index when position static and relative

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';
    

    You can use the moved-lab-modules codemod for automatic migration.

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';
    

    You can use our moved-lab-modules codemod for automatic migration.

  • Remove debug prop. There are a couple of simpler alternatives: open={true}, Chrome devtools "Emulate focused", or React devtools prop setter.

  • renderOption should now return the full DOM structure of the option. It makes customizations easier. You can recover from the change with:

    <Autocomplete
    - renderOption={(option, { selected }) => (
    -   <React.Fragment>
    + renderOption={(props, option, { selected }) => (
    +   <li {...props}>
          <Checkbox
            icon={icon}
            checkedIcon={checkedIcon}
            style={{ marginRight: 8 }}
            checked={selected}
          />
          {option.title}
    -   </React.Fragment>
    +   </li>
      )}
    />
    
  • Rename closeIcon prop with clearIcon to avoid confusion.

    -<Autocomplete closeIcon={defaultClearIcon} />
    +<Autocomplete clearIcon={defaultClearIcon} />
    
  • The following values of the reason argument in onChange and onClose were renamed for consistency:

    1. create-option to createOption
    2. select-option to selectOption
    3. remove-option to removeOption
  • Change the CSS rules that use [data-focus="true"] to use .Mui-focused. The data-focus attribute is not set on the focused option anymore, instead, global class names are used.

    -'.MuiAutocomplete-option[data-focus="true"]': {
    +'.MuiAutocomplete-option.Mui-focused': {
    
  • Rename getOptionSelected to isOptionEqualToValue to better describe its purpose.

    <Autocomplete
    - getOptionSelected={(option, value) => option.title === value.title}
    + isOptionEqualToValue={(option, value) => option.title === value.title}
    

Avatar

  • Rename circle to circular 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 to circular and rectangle to rectangular 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 in onChange is no longer typed as a React.ChangeEvent but React.SyntheticEvent.

    -<BottomNavigation onChange={(event: React.ChangeEvent<{}>) => {}} />
    +<BottomNavigation onChange={(event: React.SyntheticEvent) => {}} />
    

Box

  • The system props have been deprecated in v5, and replaced with the sx prop.

    -<Box border="1px dashed grey" p={[2, 3, 4]} m={2}>
    +<Box sx={{ border: "1px dashed grey", p: [2, 3, 4], m: 2 }}>
    

    This codemod will automatically update your code to the new syntax. You can read this section for the why behind the change of API.

  • The borderRadius system prop value transformation has been changed. If it receives a number, it multiplies this value with the theme.shape.borderRadius value. Use a string to provide an explicit value, in px.

    -<Box sx={{ borderRadius: 'borderRadius' }}>
    +<Box sx={{ borderRadius: 1 }}>
    
    -<Box sx={{ borderRadius: 16 }}>
    +<Box sx={{ borderRadius: '16px' }}>
    
  • The following properties were renamed, because they are considered deprecated CSS proeprties:

  1. gridGap to gap
  2. gridColumnGap to columnGap
  3. gridRowGap to rowGap
-<Box gridGap="10px">
+<Box sx={{ gap: '10px' }}>
-<Box gridColumnGap="10px" gridRowGap="20px">
+<Box sx={{ columnGap: '10px', rowGap: '20px' }}>
  • The clone prop was removed because its behavior can be obtained by applying the sx prop directly to the child if it is a Material-UI component.

    -<Box sx={{ border: '1px dashed grey' }} clone>
    -  <Button>Save</Button>
    -</Box>
    +<Button sx={{ border: '1px dashed grey' }}>Save</Button>
    
  • The ability to pass a render prop was removed because its behavior can be obtained by applying the sx prop directly to the child if it is a Material-UI component.

    -<Box sx={{ border: '1px dashed grey' }}>
    -  {(props) => <Button {...props}>Save</Button>}
    -</Box>
    +<Button sx={{ border: '1px dashed grey' }}>Save</Button>
    

    For non-Material-UI components, use the component prop.

    -<Box sx={{ border: '1px dashed grey' }}>
    -  {(props) => <button {...props}>Save</button>}
    -</Box>
    +<Box component="button" sx={{ border: '1px dashed grey' }}>Save</Box>
    

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 />
    

ButtonBase

  • Remove the deprecated buttonRef prop. The ref prop should be used in place.

Checkbox

  • Remove the second argument from onChange. You can pull out the checked state by accessing event.target.checked.

    function MyCheckbox() {
    - const handleChange = (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>, checked: boolean) => {
    + const handleChange = (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
    +   const checked = event.target.checked;
      };
    
      return <Checkbox onChange={handleChange} />;
    }
    
  • The checkbox color prop is now "primary" by default. To continue using the "secondary" color, you must explicitly indicate secondary. This brings the checkbox closer to the Material Design specification.

    - <Checkbox />
    + <Checkbox color="secondary />
    

Chip

  • Rename default variant to filled for consistency.
    -<Chip variant="default">
    +<Chip variant="filled">
    

CircularProgress

  • The static variant has been merged into the determinate 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 renamed collapsedSize 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' }}>
    

CssBaseline

  • The component was migrated to use the @material-ui/styled-engine (emotion or styled-components) instead of jss. You should remove the @global key when defining the style overrides for it. You could also start using the CSS template syntax over the JavaScript object syntax.

    const theme = createTheme({
      components: {
        MuiCssBaseline: {
    -      styleOverrides: {
    -       '@global': {
    -          html: {
    -            WebkitFontSmoothing: 'auto',
    -          },
    -       },
    -      },
    +     styleOverrides: `
    +       html {
    +         -webkit-font-smoothing: auto;
    +       }
    +     `
        },
      },
    });
    
  • The body font size has changed from theme.typography.body2 (0.875rem) to theme.typography.body1 (1rem). To return to the previous size, you can override it in the theme:

    const theme = createTheme({
      typography: {
        body1: {
          fontSize: '0.875rem',
        },
      },
    });
    

    (Note that this will also affect use of the Typography component with the default body1 variant).

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,
    +  }}
    />
    
  • Remove the disableBackdropClick prop because redundant. Ignore close events from onClose when reason === 'backdropClick' instead.

    <Dialog
    - disableBackdropClick
    - onClose={handleClose}
    + onClose={(event, reason) => {
    +   if (reason !== 'backdropClick') {
    +     onClose(event, reason);
    +   }
    + }}
    />
    
  • [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 to Accordion 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 in onChange is no longer typed as a React.ChangeEvent but React.SyntheticEvent.

    -<Accordion onChange={(event: React.ChangeEvent<{}>, expanded: boolean) => {}} />
    +<Accordion onChange={(event: React.SyntheticEvent, expanded: boolean) => {}} />
    
  • Rename focused to focusVisible 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 to circular for consistency. The possible values should be adjectives, not nouns:

    -<Fab variant="round">
    +<Fab variant="circular">
    

FormControl

  • Change the default variant from standard to outlined. Standard has been removed from the Material Design Guidelines.

    -<FormControl value="Standard" />
    -<FormControl value="Outlined" variant="outlined" />
    +<FormControl value="Standard" variant="standard" />
    +<FormControl value="Outlined" />
    

This codemod will automatically update your code.

Grid

  • Rename justify prop with justifyContent to be aligned with the CSS property name.

    -<Grid justify="center">
    +<Grid justifyContent="center">
    
  • The props: alignItems alignContent and justifyContent and their classes and style overrides keys were removed: "align-items-xs-center", "align-items-xs-flex-start", "align-items-xs-flex-end", "align-items-xs-baseline", "align-content-xs-center", "align-content-xs-flex-start", "align-content-xs-flex-end", "align-content-xs-space-between", "align-content-xs-space-around", "justify-content-xs-center", "justify-content-xs-flex-end", "justify-content-xs-space-between", "justify-content-xs-space-around" and "justify-content-xs-space-evenly". These props are now considered part of the system, not on the Grid component itself. If you still wish to add overrides for them, you can use the theme.components.MuiGrid.variants options. For example

    const theme = createTheme({
      components: {
        MuiGrid: {
    -     styleOverrides: {
    -       "align-items-xs-flex-end": {
    -         marginTop: '20px',
    -       },
    -     },
    +     variants: {
    +       props: { alignItems: "flex-end" },
    +       style: {
    +         marginTop: '20px',
    +       },
    +     }],
        },
      },
    });
    

GridList

  • Rename the GridList components to ImageList to align with the current Material Design naming.

  • Rename the GridList spacing prop to gap to align with the CSS attribute.

  • Rename the GridList cellHeight prop to rowHeight.

  • Add the variant prop to GridList.

  • Rename the GridListItemBar actionPosition prop to position. (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>
    

Hidden

  • This component was removed because its functionality can be created with the sx prop or the useMediaQuery hook.

    Use the sx prop to replace implementation="css":

    -<Hidden implementation="css" xlUp><Paper /></Hidden>
    -<Hidden implementation="css" xlUp><button /></Hidden>
    +<Paper sx={{ display: { xl: 'none', xs: 'block' } }} />
    +<Box component="button" sx={{ display: { xl: 'none', xs: 'block' } }} />
    
    -<Hidden implementation="css" mdDown><Paper /></Hidden>
    -<Hidden implementation="css" mdDown><button /></Hidden>
    +<Paper sx={{ display: { xs: 'none', md: 'block' } }} />
    +<Box component="button" sx={{ display: { xs: 'none', md: 'block' } }} />
    

    Use the useMediaQuery hook to replace implementation="js":

    -<Hidden implementation="js" xlUp><Paper /></Hidden>
    +const hidden = useMediaQuery(theme => theme.breakpoints.up('xl'));
    +return hidden ? null : <Paper />;
    

Icon

  • The default value of fontSize was changed from default to medium for consistency. In the unlikey event that you were using the value default, the prop can be removed:

    -<Icon fontSize="default">icon-name</Icon>
    +<Icon>icon-name</Icon>
    

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,
    +  }}
    >
    
  • The selectedMenu variant will not vertically align the selected item with the anchor anymore.

Modal

  • Remove the disableBackdropClick prop because redundant. Ignore close events from onClose when reason === 'backdropClick' instead.

    <Modal
    - disableBackdropClick
    - onClose={handleClose}
    + onClose={(event, reason) => {
    +   if (reason !== 'backdropClick') {
    +     onClose(event, reason);
    +   }
    + }}
    />
    
  • Remove the onEscapeKeyDown prop because redundant. Use onClose with reason === "escapeKeyDown" instead.

    <Modal
    - onEscapeKeyDown={handleEscapeKeyDown}
    + onClose={(event, reason) => {
    +   if (reason === 'escapeKeyDown') {
    +     handleEscapeKeyDown(event);
    +   }
    + }}
    />
    
  • 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.

NativeSelect

  • Merge the selectMenu slot into select. Slot selectMenu was redundant. The root slot is no longer applied to the select, but to the root.

    -<NativeSelect classes={{ root: 'class1', select: 'class2', selectMenu: 'class3' }} />
    +<NativeSelect classes={{ select: 'class1 class2 class3' }} />
    

OutlinedInput

  • Remove the labelWidth prop. The label prop now fulfills the same purpose, using CSS layout instead of JavaScript measurement to render the gap in the outlined.

    -<OutlinedInput labelWidth={20} />
    +<OutlinedInput label="First Name" />
    

Paper

  • Change the background opacity based on the elevation in dark mode. This change was done to follow the Material Design guidelines. You can revert it in the theme:

    const theme = createTheme({
      components: {
        MuiPaper: {
    +     styleOverrides: { root: { backgroundImage: 'unset' } },
        },
      },
    });
    

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';
    

    You can use our moved-lab-modules codemod for automatic migration.

  • Rename round to circular 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,
    +  }}
    />
    
  • The getContentAnchorEl prop was removed to simplify the positioning logic.

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.

Radio

  • The radio color prop is now "primary" by default. To continue using the "secondary" color, you must explicitly indicate secondary. This brings the radio closer to the Material Design specification.

    -<Radio />
    +<Radio color="secondary />
    

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';
    

    You can use our moved-lab-modules codemod for automatic migration.

  • Change the default empty icon to improve accessibility. If you have a custom icon prop but no emptyIcon prop, you can restore the previous behavior with:

    <Rating
      icon={customIcon}
    + emptyIcon={null}
    />
    
  • Rename visuallyhidden to visuallyHidden 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 on ReactDOM.findDOMNode which is deprecated in React.StrictMode.

    -<RootRef rootRef={ref}>
    -  <Button />
    -</RootRef>
    +<Button ref={ref} />
    

Select

  • Change the default variant from standard to outlined. Standard has been removed from the Material Design Guidelines. If you are composing the Select with a form control component, you only need to update FormControl, the select inherits the variant from its context.

    -<Select value="Standard" />
    -<Select value="Outlined" variant="outlined" />
    +<Select value="Standard" variant="standard" />
    +<Select value="Outlined" />
    

This codemod will automatically update your code.

  • Remove the labelWidth prop. The label prop now fulfills the same purpose, using CSS layout instead of JavaScript measurement to render the gap in the outlined. The TextField already handles it by default.

    -<Select variant="outlined" labelWidth={20} />
    +<Select variant="outlined" label="Gender" />
    
  • Merge the selectMenu slot into select. Slot selectMenu was redundant. The root slot is no longer applied to the select, but to the root.

    -<Select classes={{ root: 'class1', select: 'class2', selectMenu: 'class3' }} />
    +<Select classes={{ select: 'class1 class2 class3' }} />
    

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';
    

    You can use our moved-lab-modules codemod for automatic migration.

  • Rename circle to circular and rect to rectangular 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 in onChange is no longer typed as a React.ChangeEvent but React.SyntheticEvent.

    -<Slider onChange={(event: React.ChangeEvent<{}>, value: unknown) => {}} />
    +<Slider onChange={(event: React.SyntheticEvent, value: unknown) => {}} />
    
  • The ValueLabelComponent prop is now part of the components prop.

    -<Slider ValueLabelComponent={CustomValueLabel} />
    +<Slider components={{ ValueLabel: CustomValueLabel }} />
    
  • The ThumbComponent prop is not part of the components prop.

    -<Slider ThumbComponent={CustomThumb} />
    +<Slider components={{ Thumb: CustomThumb }} />
    

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';
    

    You can use our moved-lab-modules codemod for automatic migration.

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>
    

SvgIcon

  • The default value of fontSize was changed from default to medium for consistency. In the unlikey event that you were using the value default, the prop can be removed:

    -<SvgIcon fontSize="default">
    +<SvgIcon>
      <path d="M10 20v-6h4v6h5v-8h3L12 3 2 12h3v8z" />
    </SvgIcon>
    

Switch

  • Remove the second argument from onChange. You can pull out the checked state by accessing event.target.checked.

    function MySwitch() {
    - const handleChange = (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>, checked: boolean) => {
    + const handleChange = (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
    +   const checked = event.target.checked;
      };
    
      return <Switch onChange={handleChange} />;
    }
    
  • The switch color prop is now "primary" by default. To continue using the "secondary" color, you must explicitly indicate secondary. This brings the switch closer to the Material Design specification.

    -<Switch />
    +<Switch color="secondary" />
    

Table

  • The customization of the table pagination's actions labels must be done with the getItemAriaLabel prop. This increases consistency with the Pagination component.

    <TablePagination
    - backIconButtonText="Avant"
    - nextIconButtonText="Après
    + getItemAriaLabel={…}
    
  • Rename onChangeRowsPerPage to onRowsPerPageChange and onChangePage to onPageChange due to API consistency.

    <TablePagination
    - onChangeRowsPerPage={()=>{}}
    - onChangePage={()=>{}}
    + onRowsPerPageChange={()=>{}}
    + onPageChange={()=>{}}
    
  • Separate classes for different table pagination labels. This allows simpler customizations.

    <TablePagination
    - classes={{ caption: 'foo' }}
    + classes={{ selectLabel: 'foo', displayedRows: 'foo' }}
    />
    
  • Move the custom class on input to select. The input key is being applied on another element.

    <TablePagination
    - classes={{ input: 'foo' }}
    + classes={{ select: 'foo' }}
    />
    
  • Rename the default value of the padding prop to normal.

    -<Table padding="default" />
    -<TableCell padding="default" />
    +<Table padding="normal" />
    +<TableCell padding="normal" />
    

Tabs

  • Change the default indicatorColor and textColor prop values to "primary". This is done to match the most common use cases with Material Design.

    -<Tabs />
    +<Tabs indicatorColor="primary" textColor="inherit" />
    
  • TypeScript: The event in onChange is no longer typed as a React.ChangeEvent but React.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} />
    

TextField

  • Change the default variant from standard to outlined. Standard has been removed from the Material Design Guidelines.

    -<TextField value="Standard" />
    -<TextField value="Outlined" variant="outlined" />
    +<TextField value="Standard" variant="standard" />
    +<TextField value="Outlined" />
    

This codemod will automatically update your code.

  • Rename rowsMax prop with maxRows for consistency with HTML attributes.

    -<TextField rowsMax={6}>
    +<TextField maxRows={6}>
    
  • 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} />
    
  • Change ref forwarding expectations on custom inputComponent. The component should forward the ref prop instead of the inputRef 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}
    
  • Rename marginDense and inputMarginDense classes to sizeSmall and inputSizeSmall to match the prop.

    -<Input margin="dense" />
    +<Input size="small" />
    
  • Set the InputAdornment position prop to start or end. Use start if used as the value of the startAdornment prop. Use end if used as the value of the endAdornment prop.

    -<TextField startAdornment={<InputAdornment>Kg</InputAdornment>} />
    -<TextField endAdornment={<InputAdornment>Kg</InputAdornment>} />
    +<TextField startAdornment={<InputAdornment position="start">Kg</InputAdornment>} />
    +<TextField endAdornment={<InputAdornment position="end">Kg</InputAdornment>} />
    

TextareaAutosize

  • Remove the rows prop, use the minRows prop instead. This change aims to clarify the behavior of the prop.

    -<TextareaAutosize rows={2} />
    +<TextareaAutosize minRows={2} />
    
  • Rename rowsMax prop with maxRows for consistency with HTML attributes.

    -<TextareAutosize rowsMax={6}>
    +<TextareAutosize maxRows={6}>
    
  • Rename rowsMin prop with minRows 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';
    

    You can use our moved-lab-modules codemod for automatic migration.

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

  • Remove the srOnly variant. You can use the visuallyHidden utility in conjunction with the sx prop instead.

    +import { visuallyHidden } from '@material-ui/utils';
    
    -<Typography variant="srOnly">Create a user</Typography>
    +<span style={visuallyHidden}>Create a user</span>
    
  • The following classes and style overrides keys were removed: "colorInherit", "colorPrimary", "colorSecondary", "colorTextPrimary", "colorTextSecondary", "colorError", "displayInline" and "displayBlock". These props are now considered part of the system, not on the Typography component itself. If you still wish to add overrides for them, you can use the theme.components.MuiTypography.variants options. For example

    const theme = createTheme({
      components: {
        MuiTypography: {
    -     styleOverrides: {
    -       colorSecondary: {
    -         marginTop: '20px',
    -       },
    -     },
    +     variants: {
    +       props: { color: "secondary" },
    +       style: {
    +         marginTop: '20px',
    +       },
    +     }],
        },
      },
    });
    

@material-ui/core/styles

createGenerateClassName

  • The createGenerateClassName function is no longer exported from @material-ui/core/styles. You should import it directly from @material-ui/styles.

    -import { createGenerateClassName } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
    +import { createGenerateClassName } from '@material-ui/styles';
    

jssPreset

  • The jssPreset object is no longer exported from @material-ui/core/styles. You should import it directly from @material-ui/styles.

    -import { jssPreset } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
    +import { jssPreset } from '@material-ui/styles';
    

MuiThemeProvider

  • The MuiThemeProvider component is no longer exported from @material-ui/core/styles. Use ThemeProvider instead.

    -import { MuiThemeProvider } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
    +import { ThemeProvider } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
    

ServerStyleSheets

  • The ServerStyleSheets component is no longer exported from @material-ui/core/styles. You should import it directly from @material-ui/styles.

    -import { ServerStyleSheets } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
    +import { ServerStyleSheets } from '@material-ui/styles';
    

styled

  • The styled JSS utility is no longer exported from @material-ui/core/styles. You can use @material-ui/styles/styled instead. Make sure to add a ThemeProvider at the root of your application, as the defaultTheme is no longer available. If you are using this utility together with @material-ui/core, it's recommended you use the ThemeProvider component from @material-ui/core/styles instead.

    -import { styled } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
    +import { styled } from '@material-ui/styles';
    +import { createTheme, ThemeProvider } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
    
    +const theme = createTheme();
     const MyComponent = styled('div')(({ theme }) => ({ background: theme.palette.primary.main }));
    
     function App(props) {
    -  return <MyComponent />;
    +  return <ThemeProvider theme={theme}><MyComponent {...props} /></ThemeProvider>;
     }
    

Note: If you would like to move

StylesProvider

  • The StylesProvider component is no longer exported from @material-ui/core/styles. You should import it directly from @material-ui/styles.

    -import { StylesProvider } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
    +import { StylesProvider } from '@material-ui/styles';
    

useThemeVariants

  • The useThemeVariants hook is no longer exported from @material-ui/core/styles. You should import it directly from @material-ui/styles.

    -import { useThemeVariants } from '@material-ui/core/styles';

withStyles

  • Replace the innerRef prop with the ref prop. Refs are now automatically forwarded to the inner component.

    import * as React from 'react';
    import { withStyles } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
    
    const MyComponent = withStyles({
      root: {
        backgroundColor: 'red',
      },
    })(({ classes }) => <div className={classes.root} />);
    
    function MyOtherComponent(props) {
      const ref = React.useRef();
    - return <MyComponent innerRef={ref} />;
    + return <MyComponent ref={ref} />;
    }
    

withTheme

  • The withTheme HOC utility has been removed from the @material-ui/core/styles package. You can use @material-ui/styles/withTheme instead. Make sure to add a ThemeProvider at the root of your application, as the defaultTheme is no longer available. If you are using this utility together with @material-ui/core, it's recommended you use the ThemeProvider component from @material-ui/core/styles instead.

    -import { withTheme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
    +import { withTheme } from '@material-ui/styles';
    +import { createTheme, ThemeProvider } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
    
    +const theme = createTheme();
     const MyComponent = withTheme(({ theme }) => <div>{props.theme.direction}</div>);
    
     function App(props) {
    -  return <MyComponent />;
    +  return <ThemeProvider theme={theme}><MyComponent {...props} /></ThemeProvider>;
     }

withWidth

  • This HOC was removed. There's an alternative using the useMediaQuery hook on this page.

@material-ui/types

  • Rename the exported Omit type in @material-ui/types. The module is now called DistributiveOmit. The change removes the confusion with the built-in Omit helper introduced in TypeScript v3.5. The built-in Omit, while similar, is non-distributive. This leads to differences when applied to union types. See this StackOverflow answer for further details.
