Icon upgrade

In antd @ 3.9.0, we introduced the svg icon (Why use the svg icon?). The icon API using the string name cannot be loaded on demand, so the svg icon file is fully introduced, which greatly increases the size of the packaged product. In 4.0, we adjusted the icon usage API to support tree shaking, reducing the default package size of antd by about 150 KB (Gzipped).

Legacy Icon usage will be discarded:

import { Icon, Button } from 'antd';

const Demo = () => (
  <div>
    <Icon type="smile" />
    <Button icon="smile" />
  </div>
);

It will be imported on demand in v4:

  import { Button } from 'antd';

  // tree-shaking supported
- import { Icon } from 'antd';
+ import { SmileOutlined } from '@ant-design/icons';

  const Demo = () => (
      <div>
-       <Icon type="smile" />
+       <SmileOutlined />
      <Button icon={<SmileOutlined />} />
    </div>
  );

  // or directly import
  import SmileOutlined from '@ant-design/icons/SmileOutlined';

You will still be able to continue using the compatibility pack:

import { Button } from 'antd';
import { Icon } from '@ant-design/compatible';

const Demo = () => (
  <div>
    <Icon type="smile" />
    <Button icon="smile" />
  </div>
);

Component refactoring

• Form rewrite.
  • No need to use Form.create.
  • Nest fields definition changes from 'xxx.yyy' to ['xxx', 'yyy'].
  • validateTrigger no long collect field value.
  • See here for migration documentation.
• DatePicker rewrite
  • Provide the picker property for selector switching.
  • Range selection can now select start and end times individually.
  • onPanelChange will also trigger when panel value changed.
  • Date cell className of Custom style demo changed from ant-calendar-date to ant-picker-cell-inner.
• Tree, Select, TreeSelect, AutoComplete rewrite
  • use virtual scrolling.
  • onBlur no longer trigger value change and return React origin event object instead.
    • If config validateTrigger as onBlur with compatible Form, please change to onChange instead.
  • AutoComplete no longer support optionLabelProp. Please set Option value directly.
  • AutoComplete options definition align with Select. Please use options instead of dataSource.
  • Select remove dropdownMenuStyle prop.
  • Use listHeight to config popup height instead of dropdownStyle.
  • filterOption return origin data with second params instead. No need to use option.props.children for matching.
  • Tree, TreeSelect will display label when title and label are both set. The adjustment is for aligning behavior with labelInValue. New behavior (show 'label' on first node). Old behavior (show 'title' on first node).
• The Grid component uses flex layout.
• Button's danger is now treated as a property instead of a button type.
• Input, Select set value to undefined is uncontrolled mode now.
• Table rewrite.
  • will keep at least one column even if columns is empty.

• Tabs rewrite. (4.3.0)
  • Dom structrue is changed, please check style if you override tabs css.
  • onPrevClick 和 onNextClick would be not working anymore since we improve tabs scroll behavior.

<Table
  columns={[
    {
      title: 'Age',
-     dataIndex: 'user.age',
+     dataIndex: ['user', 'age'],
    },
  ]}
/>

Start upgrading

You can manually check the code one by one against the above list for modification. In addition, we also provide a codemod cli tool @ant-design/codemod-v4 To help you quickly upgrade to v4.

Before running codemod cli, please submit your local code changes.

# Run directly through npx
npx -p @ant-design/codemod-v4 antd4-codemod src

# Or global installation
# Use npm
npm i -g @ant-design/codemod-v4
# Use yarn
yarn global add @ant-design/codemod-v4

# Execute
antd4-codemod src

For parts that cannot be modified automatically, codemod will prompt on the command line, and it is recommended to modify them manually as prompted. After modification, you can run the above command repeatedly to check.

Note that codemod cannot cover all scenarios, and it is recommended to check for incompatible changes one by one.

Migration tool modification details

@ant-design/codemod-v4 will help you migrate to antd v4. Obsolete components will be kept running through @ant-design/compatible. Generally, you don't need to migrate manually. The following sections detail the overall migration and changes.

Import the obsolete Form and Mention components via @ant-design/compatible package

- import { Form, Input, Button, Mention } from 'antd';
+ import { Form, Mention } from '@ant-design/compatible';
+ import '@ant-design/compatible/assets/index.css';
+ import { Input, Button } from 'antd';

  ReactDOM.render( (
    <div>
      <Form>
        {getFieldDecorator('username')(<Input />)}
        <Button>Submit</Button>
      </Form>
      <Mention
        style={{ width: '100%' }}
        onChange={onChange}
        defaultValue={toContentState('@afc163')}
        defaultSuggestions={['afc163', 'benjycui']}
        onSelect={onSelect}
      />
    </div>
  );

Note: Old Form imported from @ ant-design / compatible has change the class name from .ant-form to .ant-legacy-form. Need to be modified accordingly if override the style.

Replace component's string icon prop with the new @ant-design/icons

  import { Avatar, Button, Result } from 'antd';

-     <Button type="primary" shape="circle" icon="search" />
+     <Button type="primary" shape="circle" icon={SearchOutlined} />
-     <Avatar shape="square" icon="user" />
+     <Avatar shape="square" icon={UserOutlined} />
      <Result
-       icon="question"
+       icon={<QuestionOutlined />}
        title="Great, we have done all the operations!"
        extra={<Button type="primary">Next</Button>}
      />
    </div>,
    mountNode,
  );

Replace v3 Icon with @ant-design/icons

- import { Icon, Input } from 'antd';

    <svg width="1em" height="1em" fill="currentColor" viewBox="0 0 1024 1024">
      <path d="M923 plapla..." />
    </svg>
  );

  const HeartIcon = props => <Icon component={HeartSvg} {...props} />;

  ReactDOM.render(
    <div>
-     <Icon type="code" theme="filled" />
+     <CodeFilled />
-     <Icon type="smile" theme="twoTone" twoToneColor="#eb2f96" />
+     <SmileTwoTone twoToneColor="#eb2f96" />
-     <Icon type="code" theme={props.fill ? 'filled' : 'outlined'} />
+     <LegacyIcon type="code" theme={props.fill ? 'filled' : 'outlined'} />
      <HeartIcon />
      <Icon viewBox="0 0 24 24">
        <title>Cool Home</title>
        <path d="M10 20v-6h4v6h5v-8h3L12 3 2 12h3v8z" />
      </Icon>
      <Input suffix={<SmileOutlined />} />
    </div>,
    mountNode,
  );

Replace v3 LocaleProvider with v4 ConfigProvider

- import { LocaleProvider } from 'antd';
+ import { ConfigProvider } from 'antd';

  ReactDOM.render(
-   <LocaleProvider {...yourConfig}>
+   <ConfigProvider {...yourConfig}>
      <Main />
-   </LocaleProvider>
+   </ConfigProvider>
    mountNode,
  );

Replace Modal.method() icon string with @ant-design/icons

  import { Modal } from 'antd';
+ import { AntDesignOutlined } from '@ant-design/icons';

  Modal.confirm({
-  icon: 'ant-design',
+  icon: <AntDesignOutlined />,
   title: 'Do you Want to delete these items?',
   content: 'Some descriptions',
   onOk() {
     console.log('OK');
   },
   onCancel() {
     console.log('Cancel');
   },
 });

v4 made a lot of detailed improvements and refactoring. We collected all known incompatible changes and related impacts as much as possible, but there may be some scenarios we have not considered.
