Upgrade guide
Pivotal UI follows semantic versioning. Major version bumps (e.g. 10.x.x -> 11.0.0) may contain major new features and breaking changes, which will be documented below. Minor version bumps (e.g. 10.5.x -> 10.6.0) may contain additive, non-breaking new features. Bug fixes will be released in patch versions (e.g. 10.5.1 -> 10.5.2).
Below are the upgrade guides for recent major versions of Pivotal UI. For more details about minor and patch releases, see the changelog on the branch in question (e.g. v17
for version 17).
v18
Goals
The goals of the 18.0 release are:
- Increase accessibility of applications using Pivotal UI
- Reduce the number of colors available to make it easier for users to know when to use each color
Big Changes
React version
- Pivotal UI now specifies React 16.8 as a dependency, and it is recommended that users upgrade to this version
New Color Palette
- We have revamped and simplified our color palette. For details on how our new palette was designed, see this article by Raquel Breternitz.
- We have introduced the concept of light and dark backgrounds to our color conventions. For buttons and hover states, we have corresponding colors that ensure accessibility.
- Now, the set of encouraged background colors is much smaller: backgrounds should be white, light-gray, dark-gray, or (in rare cases) black. White and light-gray are considered "light" backgrounds, while dark-gray and black are considered "dark" backgrounds. This is important for "on-light"/"on-dark" styles (see below).
- Our components had their colors updated to use the new color palette. This is most noticeable on components like
Alert
s,Button
s, andPagination
. These changes are intentional – they are not meant to look exactly the same!
Migration Guide
Colors
- It should be a simple find-and-replace to convert from our old colors to the new color selection. This conversion applies to Sass variables (e.g.
$neutral-1
to$black
), background color modifier classes (e.g.bg-neutral-1
tobg-black
), and text color modifier classes (e.g.type-neutral-1
totype-black
). Here is the mapping of colors to new:
If you're using... | Switch to... |
---|---|
neutral-1 | black |
neutral-2 | dark-gray |
neutral-3, neutral-4 | gray |
neutral-5, neutral-6, neutral-7 | accent-gray |
neutral-8, neutral-9 | light-gray |
neutral-10, neutral-11 | white |
dark-1 | black |
dark-2, dark-3 | dark-gray |
dark-4, dark-5, dark-6 | gray |
dark-7, dark-8 | accent-gray |
dark-9 | light-gray |
dark-10, dark-11 | white |
brand-1, brand-2 | black |
brand-3, brand-4, brand-5, brand-6, brand-7 | teal |
brand-8, brand-9, brand-10 | accent-teal |
brand-11 | light-teal |
accent-1, accent-2 | dark-blue |
accent-3, accent-4 | blue |
accent-5 | accent-blue |
accent-6 | light-blue |
error-1, error-2, error-3 | dark-red |
error-4, error-5 | red |
error-6 | light-red |
warn-1, warn-2 | black |
warn-3, warn-4, warn-5 | decorative-yellow |
warn-6 | light-yellow |
success-1, success-2 | green |
success-3, success-4, success-5 | accent-green |
success-6 | light-green |
After this conversion, look over your app to make sure things still look okay. Some change is intended, but you might need to use different colors in some places. For places where you were previously using light shades of gray (like hover states), they may now be white and not show up over white backgrounds.
For hover states that appear over light backgrounds, use the $hover--onLite
color variable or the bg-hover--onLite
background modifier class. For hover states over dark backgrounds, use the $hover--onDark
variable or the bg-hover--onDark
background modifier class.
ThemeProvider
- We have introduced a new component called
ThemeProvider
which will tell components anywhere inside the ThemeProvider use the associated theme - Note that as of now this functionality is currently limited to
Button
s
Buttons
Our button components (DefaultButton
, PrimaryButton
, etc.) were revamped to clean up the code and use the new color palette. The breaking changes are as follows:
- The
span
with class namepui-btn-inner-content
inside theButton
component was removed to simplify markup - Class names used by these components that did not have a
pui-
prefix have been removed (e.g.btn
,btn-sm
). - The remaining class names (prefixed with
pui-
) were slightly renamed to follow BEM conventions. Here are the changes:
Old class name | New class name |
---|---|
pui-btn-full | pui-btn--full |
pui-btn-icon | pui-btn--icon-only |
pui-btn-icon-right | pui-btn--icon-right |
pui-btn-lg | pui-btn--lg |
pui-btn-sm | pui-btn--sm |
pui-btn-sm | pui-btn--sm |
N/A (new feature) | pui-btn--on-dark |
We have also split out the class names that correlate to the type of button.
Old class name | New class name |
---|---|
pui-btn-primary | pui-btn--primary |
pui-btn-primary-alt | pui-btn--primary pui-btn--alt |
pui-btn-primary-flat | pui-btn--primary pui-btn--flat |
pui-btn-default | pui-btn--default |
pui-btn-default-alt | pui-btn--default pui-btn--alt |
pui-btn-default-flat | pui-btn--default pui-btn--flat |
pui-btn-danger | pui-btn--danger |
pui-btn-danger-alt | pui-btn--danger pui-btn--alt |
pui-btn-danger-flat | pui-btn--danger pui-btn--flat |
pui-btn-brand | pui-btn--brand |
pui-btn-brand-alt | pui-btn--brand pui-btn--alt |
pui-btn-brand-flat | pui-btn--brand pui-btn--flat |
These changes will only be breaking if you had tests that asserted on these class names, or if you have custom CSS overrides that applied to these class names.
In an effort to ensure accessibility, when using a Button
with the iconOnly
prop set to true, if the Button
does not have an associated aria-label
a console warning will show in development
RadioGroup
- The
RadioGroup
component setsreadOnly
totrue
on radio inputs when noonChange
is provided.
Alerts
- Colors of the
Alert
s have been changed to align with the new color palette, and to increase the contrast ratio in order to improve accessibility - Status prefixes (i.e. "Success:", "Warning:") have been added to the alert content
- Non-namespaced CSS classes were removed as follows:
Old class name | New class name |
---|---|
alert | pui-alert |
alert-link | pui-alert-link |
alert-dismissable | pui-alert-dismissable |
close | pui-close |
alert-success | pui-alert-success |
alert-info | pui-alert-info |
alert-warning | pui-alert-warning |
alert-danger | pui-alert-danger |
alert-error | pui-alert-error |
Deletions
- The
Svg
component has been removed. It is recommended that uses are replaced with the SVG Loader for Webpack. - The
ButtonGroup
component has been removed. If you still need the components, the CSS is still available in older versions of Pivotal UI, and can be brought into your codebase - The
Select
component has been removed. It is recommended that uses are replaced with the HTMLselect
tag - We removed non-namespaced CSS classes from the following components:
BackToTop
Old class name | New class name |
---|---|
back-to-top | pui-back-to-top |
Collapse
and Collapsible
Old class name | New class name |
---|---|
panel | pui-collapse |
panel-body | pui-collapse-panel-body |
panel-collapse | pui-collapse-panel |
panel-divider | pui-collapse-divider |
panel-heading | pui-collapse-panel-heading |
panel-title | pui-collapse-panel-title |
collapse | pui-collapsible |
collapse-icon | pui-collapse-icon |
collapse-shield | pui-collapsible-shield |
collapse-title | pui-collapse-title |
collapse-trigger | pui-collapse-trigger |
CopyToClipboard
Old class name | New class name |
---|---|
copy-to-clipboard | pui-copy-to-clipboard |
Toggle
Old class name | New class name |
---|---|
toggle-switch | pui-toggle-switch |
v17
Goals
The goals of the 17.0 release are:
- Rewrite
Form
component to decouple state management from layout. Now, the placement of fields is completely customizable. - Improve
RadioGroup
component to take avalue
prop, allowing it to be used more easily within aForm
. - Improve accessibility of alert components (
SuccessAlert
,ErrorAlert
,InfoAlert
,WarningAlert
). - Deprecate the
Select
React component. - Deprecate the
CellRenderer
Table
plugin. - Introduce the
renderThChildren
Table
plugin.
Big Changes
Backgrounds
- We removed the
bg-cloud
,bg-glow
, andbg-full-bleed
modifier classes and the background imagesaboutus-hero.jpg
andgray-cloud.png
.
Form
Fields
- The
Form
component now supports adding and removing fields after the initial render. - The
Form
now requires a newfields
object prop. They keys of this object are the unique field names that will be used in theForm
. The values are mostly what was used to be props on theFormCol
. See the Migration Guide below for examples. - When an individual
field
has nochildren
specified, it will default to a textInput
.
onChange
- When composite
Form
fields callonChange
, the first argument should now be either the new value or the associated event (previously this had to be the second argument). - When specifying a custom
onChange
on aForm
field, the controlled value will always be updated by theForm
, it is no longer required for the customonChange
to carry out this behavior.
optional
Form
fields can now become optional after the initial render.- Whether a field is optional can be determined via callback at render time.
Custom layout
- The
children
of theForm
must be a function that will receive the form fields, state, and various form helper methods. Use this to layout the fields however desired. See the Migration Guide below for examples. FormRow
andFormCol
have been removed, because layout is now achieved with thechildren
function.
Setting state
- The
Form
no longer provides direct access to itssetState
method. If theForm
internal state was being used to hold custom state, this should now be held in state outside of theForm
. - To update the current
Form
field values from within theForm
, use the newsetValues
method that is passed to thechildren
of theForm
, and to thechildren
of aForm
field (if the field'schildren
is a function).
FormUnit
- The
FormUnit
propfield
has been renamed tochildren
.
Migration Guide
Maintain old Form Layout
In order to use the old Form
, add these files to your project:
Then replace all usages of Form
with GridForm
. These files are not maintained and there is no guarantee on feature parity. We recommend using the new Form
layout.
Using new Form Layout
-
Here is the old Form:
<Form> <FormRow wrapper={() => <Collapsible {...{expanded: this.state.expanded}}/>}> <FormCol name="firstName" initialValue="John" label="First Name"> <Input type="text"/> </FormCol> </FormRow> <FormRow> <FormCol name="lastName" initialValue="Doe" label="Last Name"> <Input type="text"/> </FormCol> </FormRow> <FormRow> <FormCol/> <FormCol fixed> {({canSubmit}) => ( <PrimaryButton type="submit" disabled={!canSubmit()}>Submit</PrimaryButton> )} </FormCol> </FormRow> </Form>
-
Create a new
fields
prop:<Form {...{ fields: { firstName: { initialValue: 'John', label: 'First Name' }, lastName: { initialValue: 'Doe', label: 'Last Name' } } }}> {/* ... */} </Form>
-
Create a callback for the
Form
child:<Form> {() => ( // new callback <Fragment> <FormRow wrapper={() => <Collapsible {...{expanded: this.state.expanded}}/>}> <FormCol name="firstName" initialValue="John" label="First Name"> <Input type="text"/> </FormCol> </FormRow> <FormRow> <FormCol name="lastName" initialValue="Doe" label="Last Name"> <Input type="text"/> </FormCol> </FormRow> <FormRow> <FormCol/> <FormCol fixed> {({canSubmit}) => ( <PrimaryButton type="submit" disabled={!canSubmit()}>Submit</PrimaryButton> )} </FormCol> </FormRow> </Fragment> )} </Form>
-
Extract
FormRow
wrappers into the layout:<Form> {() => ( // new callback <Fragment> <Collapsible {...{expanded: this.state.expanded}}> // previously a prop to the FormRow <FormRow> <FormCol name="firstName" initialValue="John" label="First Name"> <Input type="text"/> </FormCol> </FormRow> </Collapsible> <FormRow> <FormCol name="lastName" initialValue="Doe" label="Last Name"> <Input type="text"/> </FormCol> </FormRow> <FormRow> <FormCol/> <FormCol fixed> {({canSubmit}) => ( <PrimaryButton type="submit" disabled={!canSubmit()}>Submit</PrimaryButton> )} </FormCol> </FormRow> </Fragment> )} </Form>
-
Replace
FormRow
withGrid
andFormCol
withFlexCol
, and remove unnecessary props from the FlexCols:<Form> {() => ( <Fragment> <Collapsible {...{expanded: this.state.expanded}}> <Grid> <FlexCol> <Input type="text"/> // remove "name", "initialValue", "label", etc. </FlexCol> </Grid> </Collapsible> <Grid> <FlexCol> <Input type="text"/> </FlexCol> </Grid> <Grid> <FlexCol/> <FlexCol fixed> // keep the "fixed" prop {({canSubmit}) => ( <PrimaryButton type="submit" disabled={!canSubmit()}>Submit</PrimaryButton> )} </FlexCol> </Grid> </Fragment> )} </Form>
-
Remove all that
FormCol
child callbacks, and use theForm
methods provided by theForm
child callback instead:<Form> {({canSubmit}) => ( // get "canSubmit" from the Form child callback <Fragment> {/* ... */} <Grid> <FlexCol/> <FlexCol fixed> // removed the FlexCol callback <PrimaryButton type="submit" disabled={!canSubmit()}>Submit</PrimaryButton> </FlexCol> </Grid> </Fragment> )} </Form>
-
Place the fields in the layout:
<Form> {({canSubmit, fields}) => ( // obtain the fields from the Form child callback <Fragment> <Collapsible {...{expanded: this.state.expanded}}> <Grid> <FlexCol> {fields.firstName} // use the firstName field </FlexCol> </Grid> </Collapsible> <Grid> <FlexCol> {fields.lastName} // use the lastName field </FlexCol> </Grid> <Grid> <FlexCol/> <FlexCol fixed> <PrimaryButton type="submit" disabled={!canSubmit()}>Submit</PrimaryButton> </FlexCol> </Grid> </Fragment> )} </Form>
-
Consider removing Grids and FlexCols for fields that are alone on a row:
<Form> {({canSubmit, fields}) => ( // obtain the fields from the Form child callback <Fragment> <Collapsible {...{expanded: this.state.expanded}}> {fields.firstName} // Grid is not necessary here </Collapsible> {fields.lastName} // Grid is also not necessary here <Grid> <FlexCol/> <FlexCol fixed> <PrimaryButton type="submit" disabled={!canSubmit()}>Submit</PrimaryButton> </FlexCol> </Grid> </Fragment> )} </Form>
v16
Goals
The goals of the 16.0 release are:
-
Introduce new
ProgressBar
component -
Rewrite
Modal
andFlyout
components to be more accessible and configurable -
Checkbox
now has an indeterminate state
Big Changes
ProgressBar
Previously progress bars was solely a CSS implementation. See the ProgressBars page for details on new React component.
- ProgressBar CSS moved from
pivotal-ui/css/progress-bars
topivotal-ui/css/progress-bar
Modal
We rewrote the Modal
component (formerly BaseModal
) from the ground-up to be more usable and accessible.
Improvements
-
Keyboard navigation is now preserved within the modal when it's open to prevent users from being able to tab onto and interact with background elements while the modal is open.
-
Uses efficient CSS transitions instead of JavaScript-based animations to animate the modal opening/closing. This means the animation will be much smoother across all browsers (and especially in IE/Edge).
-
Now possible to specify the duration of the open/close animation via the
animationDuration
prop (and still possible to disable animation entirely, if desired, ifanimationDuration
is0
). -
Easier to specify the width of the modal via the improved
size
prop. -
More reliably prevents scrolling of background elements while the modal is open.
Breaking Changes
-
Modal component moved from
pivotal-ui/react/modals
topivotal-ui/react/modal
-
Modal CSS moved from
pivotal-ui/css/modals
topivotal-ui/css/modal
-
Renamed
BaseModal
component toModal
. -
The
ModalBody
andModalFooter
components have been removed. Now, to specify a modal body, just use thechildren
prop on theModal
. To specify a modal footer, use thefooter
prop. -
Some minor prop changes:
-
The
size
prop, when given a value ofsmall
/sm
, now gives the modal a width of300px
, as originally intended. This value used to be the same as the default width (744px
). -
The old
animation
prop, which allowed disabling animation and which defaulted totrue
, has been removed. Now, useanimationDuration={0}
to disable animation. -
The old
keyboard
prop, which allowed disabling pressing escape to close the modal, has been removed. Pressing escape now always closes the modal. -
The old
acquireFocus
prop, which allowed disabling moving focus inside the modal when it opens, has been removed. Focus is now always moved inside the modal when it opens, and cycles between elements of the modal until the modal is closed. -
The old
onEntered
andonExited
props, which allowed providing callbacks that are called when the modal starts opening and finishes closing, have been removed.
-
-
New CSS class names for each part of the modal:
-
pui-modal-dialog-backdrop
is the background element that takes up the full screen when the modal is open -
pui-modal-dialog
is the wrapper element for the visible part of the modal (the box that appears in the center of the window) -
pui-modal-header
is the element within the dialog that wraps the title -
pui-modal-title
is theh3
tag within the header that contains the title -
pui-modal-close-btn
is the close button within the dialog -
pui-modal-body
is the class name that wraps thechildren
given to the modal -
pui-modal-footer
is the class name that wraps thefooter
given to the modal
-
Flyout
We rewrote the Flyout
component from the ground-up to be more usable and accessible.
Improvements
-
Keyboard navigation is now preserved within the flyout when it's open to prevent users from being able to tab onto and interact with background elements while the flyout is open.
-
Uses efficient CSS transitions instead of JavaScript-based animations to animate the flyout opening/closing. This means the animation will be much smoother across all browsers (and especially in IE/Edge).
-
Now possible to specify the duration of the open/close animation via the
animationDuration
prop (and now possible to disable animation entirely withanimationDuration={0}
). -
More reliably prevents scrolling of background elements while the flyout is open.
-
Now possible to change the icon in the flyout header via the
iconSrc
prop (which defaults to"close"
, to render a close button by default).
Breaking Changes
-
Some minor prop changes:
-
The old
open
prop is now calledshow
, to be more consistent with theModal
. -
The old
close
prop is now calledonHide
, to be more consistent with theModal
.
-
-
New CSS class names for each part of the modal:
-
pui-flyout-dialog-backdrop
is the background element that takes up the full container width/height when the flyout is open -
pui-flyout-dialog
is the wrapper element for the visible part of the flyout (the box that appears on the right side of the window) -
pui-flyout-header
is the element within the dialog that wraps the header and icon button -
pui-flyout-icon-btn
is the icon button within the flyout header -
pui-flyout-body
is the class name that wraps thechildren
given to the flyout
-
Table
- New table plugin:
withRenderTdChildren
. This allows you to more efficiently control the rendering of table cell contents via arenderTdChildren
prop on table columns. The olderwithCellRenderer
plugin is still available, but is no longer recommended when passing an inline function. The documentation has been updated to reflect this change. This plugin is also included by default onAdvancedTable
.
Checkbox
- New
indeterminate
enables putting theCheckbox
in an indeterminate state (neither checked nor unchecked).
Misc
-
All animations/transitions in PUI now default to 200ms (0.2s). Previously, most things used 200ms, but some used 150ms or 300ms.
-
Removed deprecated and unused
tab-highlight
andtabs-images
CSS classes.
v15
Goals
The goals of the 15.0 release are:
- Rewrite & redesign Pagination component
- Rewrite Dropdown component to be less opinionated on its contents
- Make Autocomplete component easier to use
- Make font rendering crisper
The Big Changes
Pagination
We rewrote the Pagination component from the ground up, but its API has remained, mostly, the same.
Details:
- New design (rewritten CSS)
- Show up to 5 pages, always including the first and last, with ellipses in between if necessary.
onSelect
callback gets called with an object containingnewActivePage
, the page number of the newly selected page (either the number that was clicked,activePage + 1
if next button was clicked, oractivePage - 1
if previous button was clicked).- Removed
large
andsmall
props.
Dropdown
The changes to the Dropdown make it less opinionated about its children. Previously, it was necessary to have all children
of a Dropdown be DropdownItems, and the Dropdown would handle onClick
-like events on these items. Now, any child node
can be passed as a child, and if a child needs an onClick
, it should be set on that child directly.
Details:
- Removed DropdownItem component entirely
- Removed props:
href
,labelAriaLabel
,onSelect
,onSplitClick
,splitClassName
- Added prop:
itemClassName
which provides a class to theli
element that wraps each child of the dropdown
Autocomplete
The changes to Autocomplete are meant to make it easier to control when and how the data in the list gets updated from the outside.
Details:
- Add a new public method
updateList
, which updates the list of search results without showing the list. To see how this this might be used, see the Autocomplete page. - Change the callback that is passed in to
onInitializeItems
to return a Promise, so that it can be awaited from the outside if desired. This means that an outer component can wait for the inner trie data structure to be built before callingupdateList
to update the list.
Font Rendering
We removed CSS in PUI that was disabling subpixel antialising (see here for more information). The effect of this is that fonts appear crisper, brighter, and more vibrant.
v14
Goals
The goals of the 14.0 release are:
- Remove dependency on Bootstrap from all PUI components
- Remove all Bootstrap files from PUI
The Big Changes
Code component
All CSS from Bootstrap that styled code
, kbd
, pre
, and samp
elements has been moved to pivotal-ui/css/code
. If these tags are no longer styled as expected, add import 'pivotal-ui/css/code'
alongside your other CSS.
Grids component
This component was based on Bootstrap Grids, and has been removed. Use our Flex Grids component and/or CSS classes instead. Here are some examples of the changes required to migrate from the older, Bootstrap-based component:
React
Deprecated Bootstrap-based Grid:
<Row>
<Col md={8}>...</Col>
<Col md={16}>...</Col>
</Row>
FlexGrid:
<Grid>
<FlexCol>...</FlexCol>
<FlexCol grow={2}>...</FlexCol>
</Grid>
CSS-only
Deprecated Bootstrap-based Grid:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">...</div>
<div class="col-md-16">...</div>
</div>
FlexGrid:
<div class="grid">
<div class="col">...</div>
<div class="col col-grow-2">...</div>
</div>
Other Bootstrap CSS/utility classes
Any Bootstrap CSS that was not a part of any PUI component, but which was included by PUI, will no longer work. Install Bootstrap CSS separately if needed.
Removed
The following components were deprecated several releases ago, and are no longer documented. They have now been removed:
- Bootstrap Grids component (
pivotal-ui/react/grids
andpivotal-ui/css/grids
) - Google Maps component (
pivotal-ui/css/google-maps
) - Avatars component (
pivotal-ui/css/avatars
)
v13
Goals
The goals of the 13.0 release are:
- New interface and design of Panels
- Redesign of Dropdown and CheckboxDropdown
The Big Changes
Panels
-
Panels have been redesigned to have a title, header, body, and footer section. You can insert components in the title and header sections. See the Panels examples.
- The panel title appears outside the rounded box
- The panel header appears within the rounded box, separated from the content by a border
- The panel body appears within the rounded box, below the header (if any)
- The panel footer appears at the bottom of the rounded box.
- The panel body now has rounded corners and a box shadow by default.
- Previously, the panel
header
prop took aNode
. Now, it takes astring
, which it will place in the top left corner of the panel. This is intended to make panel headers more consistent by default. To get the old behavior back, do not pass aheader
, and useheaderCols={[<FlexCol key="some-key">{someNode}</FlexCol>]}
. - Panel CSS classes are now prefixed with
pui-
. -
The classes
panel
,panel-body
,panel-header
andpanel-footer
have been removed. You can either:- update your CSS by prepending
pui-
OR - you can pass those classes in via the
bodyClassName
,headerClassName
, orfooterClassName
props.
- update your CSS by prepending
<Panel {...{
className: 'panel',
bodyClassName: 'panel-body',
headerClassName: 'panel-header',
footerClassName: 'panel-footer'
}}/>
Dropdown/CheckboxDropdown
- Icon no longer positioned absolutely
v12

. - See the Tables example
Checkbox
- CSS selectors prefixed with
pui-
, eg.pui-checkbox
- Update the styling
- Remove props related to forms:
displayError
