Here are the frequently asked questions about Ant Design and antd that you should look up before you ask in the community or create a new issue. We also maintain a [FAQ issues label](http://u.ant.design/faq) for common github issues.
There is currently no plan to add support for Sass/Stylus(etc.) style files, but using tools on Google you can easily convert the provided Less files to your desired style format.
This is an old bug that has been fixed since `v3.11.x`. If you're using an older version, you can use `<Select getPopupContainer={trigger => trigger.parentElement}>` to render a component inside Popover. (Or other `getXxxxContainer` props)
Use `<Select getPopupContainer={trigger => trigger.parentElement}>` ([API reference](https://ant.design/components/select-cn/#Select-props)) to render a component inside the scroll area. If you need to config this globally in your application, try `<ConfigProvider getPopupContainer={trigger => trigger.parentElement}>` ([API reference](https://ant.design/components/config-provider-cn/#API))
While you can override a component's style, we don't recommend doing so. antd is not only a set of React components, but also a design specification as well.
### How do I replace Moment.js with Day.js to reduce bundle size？
The `defaultXxxx` (e.g. `defaultValue`) of `Input`/`Select`(etc...) only works on the first render. It is a specification of React. Please read [React's documentation](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/forms.html#controlled-components).
antd use shallow compare of props to optimize performance. You should always pass the new object when updating the state. Please ref [React's document](https://reactjs.org/docs/thinking-in-react.html)
Try `defaultValue` or `onChange` to change `value`, and please read [React's documentation](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/forms.html#controlled-components).
Yes, antd is designed to help you develop a complete background application. To do so, we override some global styles for styling convenience, and currently these cannot be removed or changed. More info at https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues/4331 .
Please check [And Design Mobile](http://mobile.ant.design) as a possible solution, as `antd` has not been optimized to work well on mobile. You can also try the [react-component](https://github.com/react-component/) repositories which start with 'm-' 'rn-', which are also designed for mobile.
Yes, you can [import `antd` with script tag](https://ant.design/docs/react/introduce#Import-in-Browser), but we recommend using `npm` to import `antd`, as it is simple and easy to maintain.
### I can't visit `icon` in my network environment.
You should deploy the iconfont files to your network by following this [example](https://github.com/ant-design/antd-init/tree/7c1a33cadb98f2fd8688fe527dd7f98215b9bced/examples/local-iconfont). [#1070](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues/1070)
If you need some features which should not be included in antd, try to extend antd's component with [HOC](https://gist.github.com/sebmarkbage/ef0bf1f338a7182b6775). [more](https://medium.com/@dan_abramov/mixins-are-dead-long-live-higher-order-components-94a0d2f9e750#.eeu8q01s1)
In a real world development, you may need a `YearPicker`, `MonthRangePicker` or `WeekRangePicker`. You are trying to add `mode` to `DatePicker`/`RangePicker` expected to implement those pickers. However, the `DatePicker`/`RangePicker` cannot be selected and the panels won't close now.
Like [the explaination](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues/11586#issuecomment-429189877) explains, this is because `<DatePicker mode="year" />` does not equal the `YearPicker`, nor is `<RangePicker mode="month" />` equal to `MonthRangePicker`. The `mode` property was added to support [showing time picker panel in DatePicker](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues/5190) in antd 3.0, which simply controls the displayed panel, and won't change the original date picking behavior of `DatePicker`/`RangePicker` (for instance you will still need to click date cell to finish selection in a `DatePicker`, whatever the `mode` is).
You can refer to [this article](https://juejin.im/post/5cf65c366fb9a07eca6968f9) or [this article](https://www.cnblogs.com/zyl-Tara/p/10197177.html), using `mode` and `onPanelChange` to encapsulate a `YearPicker` or `MonthRangePicker` for your needs. Or you can wait for our [antd@4.0](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues/16911), in which we are already planning to [add more XxxPickers](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues/4524#issuecomment-480576884) to meet those requirements.
### message/notification/Modal.confirm lost styles when set `prefixCls` on ConfigProvider?
Static methods like message/notification/Modal.confirm are not using the same render tree as `<Button />`, but rendered to indepent DOM node created by `ReactDOM.render`, which cannot access React context from ConfigProvider. Consider two solutions here:
1. Replace original usages with [message.useMessage](https://ant.design/components/message/#components-message-demo-hooks), [notification.useNotification](https://ant.design/components/notification/#Why-I-can-not-access-context,-redux-in-notification) and [Modal.useModal](https://ant.design/components/modal/#Why-I-can-not-access-context,-redux-in-Modal.xxx).
2. Use `message.config`, `notification.config` and `Modal.config` to config `prefixCls` globally.
Check out [this answer from StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25034994/how-to-correctly-wrap-few-td-tags-for-jsxtransformer), along with also reading [React's documentation](http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/displaying-data.html#components-are-just-like-functions) to solve this.
### React.createElement: type should not be null, undefined, boolean, or number. It should be a string (for DOM elements) or a ReactClass (for composite components)
Please make sure that you import `antd`'s components correctly. Read the corresponding documentation of the `antd`'s version which you use, and pay attention to typos.
Please read the corresponding documentation of the `antd`'s version which you are currently using, and make sure that you pass values with correct type to `antd`'s components,
You may have imported `React` twice. Set `React`&`ReactDOM` as external, if you are using webpack, see [#525](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues/525). If you are using others (browserify, etc...), please read their documentation and find options which can set `React`&`ReactDOM` as external.
