v11

This document outlines all of the changes to the Carbon Design System from v10 to v11. If you're just starting, check out our migration site.

If you're looking for migration information for a specific package, use the list of packages below.

Carbon also provides codemods through the @carbon/upgrade package to help with migration.

carbon-components

In v10, the carbon-components package ships Sass styles and Vanilla JavaScript for components in our Design System. Starting in v11, we will split our styles into a dedicated package: @carbon/styles. In addition, we will no longer support the Vanilla JavaScript for our components.

Changing from node-sass to sass

Along with this change, the styles of Carbon have been completely updated to use Sass Modules. This change requires that teams use the Dart Sass package. Support for node-sass has been dropped starting in v11.

This decision was made after seeing the deprecation notice of LibSass in late 2020.

Changing import paths from scss/globals/scss to scss

With this change to Sass Modules, you'll find that many ways you use Carbon today have been updated and streamlined. In general, most paths have changed from the long form scss/globals/scss/path/to/file to scss/path/to/file.

For example, to access the theme entry point, import scss/globals/scss/theme in v10. Now, this entry point lives at scss/theme.

Alongside the updates to filepaths, you will find that helper mixins, functions, and variables have been updated to no longer have a carbon-- prefix. With Sass Modules: the module name now serves as an appropriate prefix and provides scoping for variables, mixins, and functions. The prefix carbon-- can be easily removed by performing a basic find and replace operation, as illustrated in the following example.

- @include carbon--breakpoint(lg) {
+ @include breakpoint(lg) {
      width: 42%;
  }

There are two major areas of change in the package, namely:

scss/globals/scss

The majority of the files currently available under /scss/globals/scss are now available directly under the scss directory or through our new utilities folder in scss/utilities.

Below, you'll find an overview of files that are a part of our Public API and where they have moved to in v11. Each row also contains a link to a section below that reviews any API changes for the file.

File v11
scss/globals/scss/styles.scss Moved to index.scss in @carbon/styles
scss/globals/grid/_grid.scss Moved to scss/_grid.scss
scss/globals/scss/_colors.scss Moved to scss/_colors.scss
scss/globals/scss/_css--body.scss Removed, most of these styles are available through the CSS reset
scss/globals/scss/_css--font-face.scss Moved to scss/fonts
scss/globals/scss/_css--helpers.scss Moved to scss/utilities/
scss/globals/scss/_css--reset.scss Moved to scss/_reset.scss
scss/globals/scss/_helper-classes.scss Moved to scss/utilities/
scss/globals/scss/_helper-mixins.scss Moved to scss/utilities/
scss/globals/scss/_import-once.scss Removed
scss/globals/scss/_layer.scss Removed
scss/globals/scss/_layout.scss This file has been split into scss/spacing and scss/utilities/z-index
scss/globals/scss/_mixins.scss Removed, import mixins directly from appropriate file
scss/globals/scss/_motion.scss Moved to scss/_motion.scss
scss/globals/scss/_spacing.scss Moved to scss/_spacing.scss
scss/globals/scss/_theme-tokens.scss Moved to scss/_themes.scss
scss/globals/scss/_theme.scss Moved to scss/_theme.scss
scss/globals/scss/_typography.scss Moved to scss/_type.scss
scss/globals/scss/_vars.scss Removed, import variables directly from appropriate file
scss/globals/scss/vendor/* These files are now re-exported from the top-level scss folder

scss/globals/scss/styles.scss

v10 v11
@import 'carbon-components/scss/globals/scss/styles.scss'; @use '@carbon/styles';
(alias) @use '@carbon/react';

The styles.scss entry point was provided as a way to bring in all of the styles for the Carbon Design System. In v11, this is available through @carbon/styles/index.scss which can be directly imported with @use by writing out:

@use '@carbon/styles';

If you are overriding different settings of the project, like $prefix, you will need to pass those into the with block in the import:

@use '@carbon/styles' with (
  $prefix: 'cds'
);

While the preference is to import files using @use, you may also use @import to bring in styles.

For a full overview of changes to how you configure Carbon, check our configuration section below.

scss/globals/scss/_colors.scss

v10 v11
@import 'carbon-components/scss/globals/scss/colors'; @use '@carbon/styles/scss/colors';
@use '@carbon/react/scss/colors';

The scss/globals/scss/_colors.scss entry point provided a re-export of the @carbon/colors package. This entry point now lives at scss/_colors.scss in @carbon/styles and can be included by writing:

@use '@carbon/styles/scss/colors';

.example {
  color: colors.$blue-50;
}

The following is a list of API changes in v11 for @carbon/colors that are present in @carbon/styles/scss/colors:

v10 v11
$ibm-* variables Removed
$carbon-* variables Removed
$ibm-color-map Removed
$carbon--colors Removed, replaced by $colors
@mixin ibm--colors Removed
@mixin carbon--colors Removed

scss/globals/scss/_css--font-face.scss

In v11, we support a broad range of font families from IBM Plex through the @ibm/plex package. By default, these font families are loaded through the @ibm/plex package and require a bundler that supports loading in font files in this way.

You can still configure Carbon to pull in these fonts through a CDN with the $use-akamai-cdn flag available in scss/_config.scss.

IBM Plex Sans, IBM Plex Mono, and IBM Plex Serif are all loaded in automatically with light, normal, and medium font weights. You can configure the scss/fonts import to include additional font families and font weights.

For more information, check out the documentation.

scss/globals/scss/_css--helpers.scss

The scss/globals/scss/_css--helpers entry point provides class-based helpers when the $css--helpers flag is set to true, specifically:

  • bx--assistive-text and bx--visually-hidden
  • bx--body

In v11, the assistive text and visually hidden classes are now available under: scss/utilities/_visually-hidden.

The bx--body class has been removed.

scss/globals/scss/_css--reset.scss

v10 v11
@import 'carbon-components/scss/globals/scss/css--reset'; @use '@carbon/styles/scss/reset';
@use '@carbon/react/scss/reset';

The scss/globals/scss/css--reset entry point is used for including a CSS reset in a project using Carbon. It is configurable using the $css--reset global flag.

In v11, this entry point is now available at scss/reset and is still configurable with the $css--reset configuration option. By default, $css--reset is set to true.

scss/globals/scss/_helper-classes.scss

The scss/globals/scss/_helper-classes.scss entry point was used to emit CSS classes for text truncation, specifically:

  • bx--text-truncate--end
  • bx--text-truncate--front

These classes are now available under scss/utilities/text-truncate.

scss/globals/scss/_helper-mixins.scss

The scss/globals/scss/_helper-mixins.scss entry point exported a number of helper mixins that could be used when building components. In v11, these helpers have been moved to utilities located under scss/utilities/. Below is a table that details to which files a particular helper has been moved.

v10 v11
@mixin text-overflow scss/utilities/_text-overflow.scss
@mixin placeholder-colors scss/utilities/_placeholder-colors.scss
@mixin box-shadow scss/utilities/_box-shadow.scss
@mixin focus-outline scss/utilities/_focus-outline.scss

@mixin button-reset scss/utilities/_button-reset.scss
@mixin skeleton scss/utilities/_skeleton.scss
@keyframes skeleton scss/utilities/_keyframes.scss
@mixin high-contrast-mode scss/utilities/_high-contrast-mode.scss

scss/globals/scss/_layout.scss

This entry point has been split into two files. For anything related to spacing or layout, you can use the scss/spacing entry point directly. For anything related to z-index you can use scss/utilities/z-index directly.

scss/globals/scss/_mixins.scss

The scss/globals/scss/_mixins.scss entry point re-exported mixins from the following files:

  • scss/globals/scss/helper-mixins
  • scss/components/button/mixins;
  • scss/components/loading/mixins;
  • scss/components/notification/mixins;
  • scss/components/tag/mixins;
  • scss/components/structured-list/mixins;

In v11, this entry point has been removed. If you are using a mixin from this entry point, find the appropriate mixin from the migration guidance for one of the files above.

scss/globals/scss/_motion.scss

v10 v11
@import 'carbon-components/scss/globals/scss/motion'; @use '@carbon/styles/scss/motion';
@use '@carbon/react/scss/motion';

The scss/globals/scss/_motion.scss entry point re-exported exports from the @carbon/motion package along with providing a number of helpers and variables for duration and easing curves.

v10 v11

scss/globals/scss/_theme.scss

v10 v11
@import 'carbon-components/scss/globals/scss/theme'; @use '@carbon/styles/scss/theme';
@use '@carbon/react/scss/theme';

The scss/globals/scss/_theme.scss entry point re-exported tokens from the _theme-tokens.scss entry point. In v11, you can import this file directly and reference the current theme, tokens defined in the theme, as well as dynamically retrieve the current value of a token.

@use '@carbon/styles/scss/theme';

.example {
  background: theme.$background;
  color: theme.$text-primary;
}

For a full overview of what is available in this entry point, check out our API documentation.

scss/globals/scss/_typography.scss

v10 v11
@import 'carbon-components/scss/globals/scss/typography'; @use '@carbon/styles/scss/type';
@use '@carbon/react/scss/type';

The scss/globals/scss/_typography.scss entry point provides access to a number of variables and helpers for working with dimensions. It also re-exports several exports from @carbon/type.

In v11, this entry point has been moved to scss/_type.scss and several of its exports have changed or removed.

v10 v11
$base-font-size Moved to scss/utilities/_convert.scss
@function rem Moved to scss/utilities/_convert.scss
@function em Moved to scss/utilities/_convert.scss
$carbon--font-families Renamed to $font-families

@function carbon--font-weight Renamed to @function font-weight
@mixin carbon--font-weight Renamed to @mixin font-weight

For a full overview of what is available in this entry point, check out the API documentation for @carbon/type.

scss/globals/scss/_vars.scss

The scss/globals/scss/_vars.scss entry point was used to access most of the public variables from the Carbon Design System. It also specified the $prefix used for CSS.examples in the codebase.

In v11, this file has been removed. To get access to variables that you previously were using _vars.scss for, you will need to find the correct direct import. For changing the $prefix used in the project, you can configure this through the scss/_config.scss entry point.

For more information about configuring the project, check out the configuration section below.

scss/globals/grid/_grid.scss

v10 v11
@import 'carbon-components/scss/globals/grid/grid'; @use '@carbon/styles/scss/grid';
@use '@carbon/react/scss/grid';

The scss/globals/grid/_grid.scss entry point provides access to the flexbox based grid from the @carbon/grid package.

In v11, this entry point has been moved to scss/_grid.scss and continues to re-export from the @carbon/grid package. In addition, the default grid has been changed from the 12 column variant to the 16 column grid.

Note: if you're using $feature-flags to set grid-columns-16 you can remove this flag in v11

Finally, our default grid implementation no longer uses flexbox. Instead, it uses CSS Grid. If you have existing layouts built using the flexbox grid, you can bring in these styles through the scss/grid/flexbox entry point or via the $use-flexbox-grid config variable.

scss/components

The components located under scss/components are available under scss/components/<component>/_<component>.scss. For example, to import an accordion:

@import 'carbon-components/scss/components/accordion/accordion';

In v11, these files now live at scss/components/<component>/_index.scss and can be shortened to scss/components/<component> since Dart Sass resolves _index.scss files automatically. for example:

// For styles
@use '@carbon/styles/scss/components/accordion';

// For React
@use '@carbon/react/scss/components/accordion';

scss/components/data-table_data-table.scss

DataTable styles are no longer all bundled into one stylesheet. To include styles for DataTable actions, expand, skeleton, and sort you'll need to @use each module as needed.

v10 v11
@import 'carbon-components/scss/components/data-table/data-table'; @use '@carbon/styles/scss/components/data-table';
@use '@carbon/styles/scss/components/data-table/action';
@use '@carbon/styles/scss/components/data-table/expandable';
@use '@carbon/styles/scss/components/data-table/skeleton';
@use '@carbon/styles/scss/components/data-table/sort';

Component tokens

In some situations, you may want to use or change the tokens for a specific component. To do so you will need to configure the module and provide the tokens you would like to see changed. For full details, see the sass documentation for @carbon/styles.

Configuration

In v10, you could configure various aspects of Carbon using global flags that were set before including Carbon. For example, you could change the prefix used or disable the CSS reset that the project used by doing the following:

$prefix: 'cds';
$css--reset: false;

@import 'path/to/carbon';

Similarly, you could enable or disable $feature-flags for the project with a similar approach.

This approach no longer works with the project's switch to Sass Modules. Instead, you will need to configure Carbon through the scss/_config.scss entry point using with. This file is re-exported in various entry points, so you can configure Carbon on the main entry point:

@use '@carbon/styles' with (
  $prefix: 'cds'
);

Or you can configure the scss/_config.scss directly:

@use '@carbon/styles/scss/config' with (
  $prefix: 'cds'
);

Note: Sass modules can only ever be configured once. Bringing in this module and configuring it should be one of the first things you do in your project.

The following is a table of configuration options and their status in v11. Ones that are available you can configure through the scss/_config.scss entry point, ones that are removed are no longer available.

v10 v11
$css--helpers Removed
$css--body Removed
$css--use-layer Removed
$css--reset No changes
$prefix No changes
$feature-flags Moved to scss/feature-flags

Internal

The following files are considered internal files and have been omitted from this migration document. If you are currently using these files, please reach out for support on GitHub Discussions and we can help you migrate from the following list of files:

  • scss/globals/scss/_functions.scss
  • scss/globals/scss/_feature-flags.scss
  • scss/globals/scss/_deprecate.scss
  • scss/globals/scss/_keyframes.scss
  • scss/globals/scss/_tooltip.scss
  • scss/globals/scss/vendor/*

carbon-components-react

The carbon-components-react package has been replaced by the @carbon/react package in v11. While you can still use carbon-components-react along with v11, it has been deprecated and will stop receiving updates when v12 is released.

In addition, this release contains updates to React components in the package. These updates include:

  • Changing components from class components to functional components
  • Creating consistent prop names and types across components
  • Updates to make components more accessible

Some of these updates are covered by an automated codemod. View full instructions in @carbon/upgrade.

Rewrite imports from carbon-components-react to @carbon/react.

npx @carbon/upgrade migrate update-carbon-components-react-import-to-scoped --write

Automates size prop changes.

npx @carbon/upgrade migrate small-to-size-props --write

  • The size prop has been updated to: PropTypes.oneOf(['sm', 'md', 'lg']). Previous values such as default, field, or small are no longer supported

FilterableMultiSelect

  • This component has been updated from a class component to a functional component
  • The className prop is now applied to the outermost element of FilterableMultiSelect

FormGroup

  • The className prop is now applied to the outermost element of FormGroup
  • The deprecated prop hasMargin has been removed. Margin for vertical spacing is no longer included, use <Stack> for vertical spacing.

Grid

The Grid component has been updated to use our new CSS Grid classes under the hood. However, if you're using the Grid component in v10 you can continue using our flexbox-based grid with the FlexGrid component. Similarly, Row and Column will continue to work with FlexGrid.

With the change to CSS Grid, you now will only need two components to build layouts: Grid and Column. The Row component is no longer needed.

New

  • Subgrid is officially supported when using CSS Grid

Changed

  • The Grid component now uses CSS Grid under the hood. If you would like to keep using the flexbox-based grid, use FlexGrid instead.

FlexGrid

The FlexGrid component has the same API as the Grid component in v10. You can build layouts using FlexGrid, Row, and Column. You can also keep existing layouts that you've already built using this component.

Row

This component has not changed between v10 and v11. However, it is no longer needed when building layouts with Grid. Instead, you can use Grid and Column directly.

Column

The Column component has specific additions to work with CSS Grid. It maintains backward compatibility with v10. The biggest change between v10 and v11 is that Columns no longer will auto-span. Instead, each Column will span 1 column in the grid unless otherwise specified.

There are also changes to how offset works in v11. While you can continue to use offset in each breakpoint prop, you can now use start and end, as well. These correspond to grid-column-start and grid-column-end, respectively.

View the docs for the Column component to learn more.

Modal

  • This component has been updated from a class component to a functional component
  • The deprecated prop focusTrap has been removed, this is now enabled by default
  • The deprecated prop hasForm has been removed, this is now enabled by default
  • The deprecated prop iconDescription is no longer needed and has been removed

Notifications

The notification components have been updated to be more accessible out of the box. ToastNotification and InlineNotification now have role="status" by default with additional role options of log and alert. These components do not receive focus and should be used for information-only use cases. These components no longer accept actions or interactive children.

For notifications requiring an action, a new ActionableNotifiation component is available. It has a role="alertdialog" and recieves focus by default. Automatic placement of focus can be turned off via the new hasFocus prop.

All notifications have a new optional closeOnEscape prop, which enables notifications to close by pressing the escape key. For more details, see the notification components accessibility page.

Vertical margin is no longer included by default, use <Stack> for vertical spacing.

ToastNotification updates:

  • children can no longer contain interactive elements. A ToastNotification containing an action or interactive children should be replaced with ActionableNotification.
  • The notificationType prop is no longer needed and can be removed.
  • The default role is now status. log and alert can also be used.
  • The closeOnEscape prop toggles the closing of notifications via the escape key.

InlineNotification updates:

  • The actions prop has been removed. An InlineNotification containing an action or interactive children should be replaced with ActionableNotification configured with the inline prop.
  • children can no longer contain interactive elements.
  • The notificationType prop is no longer needed and can be removed.
  • The default role is now status. log and alert can also be used.
  • The closeOnEscape prop toggles the closing of notifications via the escape key.

ActionableNotification config options:

  • The inline prop enables a styling variation resulting in a similar visual design to InlineNotification.
  • The actionButtonLabel prop configures the action button text.
  • The hasFocus prop toggles the automatic placement of focus.
  • The closeOnEscape prop toggles the closing of notifications via the escape key.

    • props.onClick has been added to substitute the previous onChange event.
  • props['aria-label'] is no longer required.
    • props.labelText will always be available to screen readers without the use of aria-label.

  • props.hideLabel has been added. This hides labelA and labelB while moving labelText to the side for height-restricted layouts.
  • props.labelA and props.labelB have been made optional and default to "Off" and "On" respectively.

Tabs

Tabs have been updated to be more composable so that you have the flexibility and control to make them look and act how you want.

In v10, you may have code that looks like the following:

<Tabs>
  <Tab label="Tab label 1">
    <p>Content for first tab goes here.</p>
  </Tab>
  <Tab label="Tab label 2">
    <p>Content for second tab goes here.</p>
  </Tab>
  <Tab label="Tab label 3" disabled>
    <p>Content for third tab goes here.</p>
  </Tab>
  <Tab
    label="Tab label 4 shows truncation"
    title="Tab label 4 shows truncation">
    <p>Content for fourth tab goes here.</p>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Those same Tabs, migrated to v11:

<Tabs>
  <TabList>
    <Tab>Tab Label 1</Tab>
    <Tab>Tab Label 2</Tab>
    <Tab disabled>Tab Label 3</Tab>
    <Tab title="Tab Label 4 shows truncation">Tab Label 4 shows truncation</Tab>
  </TabList>
  <TabPanels>
    <TabPanel>Content for first tab goes here.</TabPanel>
    <TabPanel>Content for second tab goes here.</TabPanel>
    <TabPanel>Content for third tab goes here.</TabPanel>
    <TabPanel>Content for fourth tab goes here.</TabPanel>
  </TabPanels>
</Tabs>

Update Tabs and Tab usage

All the same functionality for Tabs is available in v11 and more! However, some props have been deprecated because they have either been renamed or are no longer needed. Below are the minor tweaks in naming or implementation.

  • the type prop is deprecated. Both "container" and "default" tabs still exist but now can be called by adding the prop contained to the TabList.
  • Default tabs are now referred to as line tabs in our documentation here and in our storybook.
  • hidden prop is no longer needed with the new composable Tabs. You have control over tab content and when it is hidden through the TabPanel and TabPanels components.
  • selected prop is now named selectedIndex.
  • tabContentClassName is no longer needed. TabPanel (equivalent to tab content) takes in a className prop on its outermost node.
  • For Tab, label is no longer needed. children of Tab are now the label.
  • Due to its composability, renderAnchor, renderButton, renderContent are no longer needed on Tab. You now have full control over what is rendered inside of Tab and TabPanel.
  • Because renderButton is no longer needed, the associated tabIndex prop has also been deprecated.
  • selected on Tab is deprecated in favor or selectedIndex, now placed on Tabs instead.

For more details about the changes to Tabs, see our storybook documentation here.

Tooltips

Starting in v11, the Tooltip, TooltipDefinition, and TooltipIcon components have been updated in order to be made accessible. In particular,

  • The API of Tooltip has been updated. This component should not include interactive content
  • TooltipDefinition has been renamed to DefinitionTooltip
  • TooltipIcon has been removed, use IconButton instead

For interactive content use-cases inside of Tooltips, we have introduced a new component: Toggletip.

Tooltip

This component has been updated so that it will add a tooltip to any interactive child element that is passed to this component. For example:

import { Tooltip } from '@carbon/react';

function ExampleComponent() {
  return (
    <Tooltip label="Close">
      <button type="button">X</button>
    </Tooltip>
  );
}

This component accepts two ways to specify the content of the tooltip: label and description. These components accept either a string or a component and they must not contain interactive content. If you have a tooltip which contains interactive content, use a Toggletip instead.

As a result of these changes, certain props are no longer applicable in v11, including:

  • focusTrap: this component no longer requires this behavior
  • iconName
  • menuOffset
  • renderIcon: this is now the content of Tooltip
  • selectorPrimaryFocus: this component no longer requires this behavior
  • showIcon: this is now controlled by the children of Tooltip
  • tooltipBodyId: this component no longer requires this behavior
  • tooltipId: this component no longer requires this behavior
  • triggerClassName: this is now controlled by the children of Tooltip
  • triggerText
  • iconDescription: this is now replaced by label or description

Certain props are not available in v11 but will be available soon. For example, autoOrientation will be available under align="auto".

In addition, the align and direction props have been updated to a single prop: align.

For full documentation on this component, check out our Storybook

TooltipDefinition

This component has been renamed to DefinitionTooltip. There are two notable changes to this component:

  • The tooltipText prop has been renamed to definition
  • The align and direction props have been merged into the align prop

For full documentation on this component, check out our Storybook

TooltipIcon

This component was problematic in v10 because the tooltip was being added to an element that was not interactive. In order to ship an accessible version of this component, we now have an IconButton component that can be used as a replacement for TooltipIcon. If you have a situation where your content is not related to a button or action, please reach out! We'll help you find a good way to migrate your work in v10.

As a result, in places where you are using TooltipIcon you can use IconButton.

Before

import { TooltipIcon } from 'carbon-components-react';

function ExampleComponent() {
  return (
    <TooltipIcon
      tooltipText="Example tooltip"
      onClick={() => {
        // ...
      }}
      renderIcon={Filter}
    />
  );
}

After

import { IconButton } from '@carbon/react';

function ExampleComponent() {
  return (
    <IconButton
      label="Example tooltip"
      onClick={() => {
        // ...
      }}>
      <Filter />
    </IconButton>
  );
}

With this update, certain props are no longer needed or have been renamed. These include:

  • align and direction have been merged into align
  • renderIcon this is now whatever you render as the child of IconButton
  • tooltipText this has been renamed to label

For full documentation on this component, check out our Storybook

carbon-icons

The carbon-icons package has been deprecated and is no longer supported. To use icons from the Carbon Design System, you should install the appropriate library to use with your framework:

@carbon/icons-react

The @carbon/icons-react package has been updated to minimize the number of exports from the package to help reduce build and compile times. It also has been updated to remove icons that were deprecated in v10.

If you are using @carbon/react, you can now import icons directly from @carbon/react/icons.

Changes to size

This update includes a change to the API of the icon components that come from this package. Previously, we would export icons that included the size of the asset. This update allows you to bring the icon directly and specify the size using the size prop.

Before

import { Add32, Add24, Add20, Add16 } from '@carbon/icons-react';

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <>
      <Add32 />
      <Add24 />
      <Add20 />
      <Add16 />
    </>
  );
}

After

import { Add } from '@carbon/icons-react';

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <>
      <Add size={32} />
      <Add size={24} />
      <Add size={20} />
      <Add />
    </>
  );
}

Migration

Most use-cases of the icons from the @carbon/icons-react package will be covered by automated codemods. To run these codemods, follow the instructions in @carbon/upgrade.

Update imports and size usage for @carbon/icons-react

npx @carbon/upgrade migrate icons-react-size-prop --write

Rewrite imports from @carbon/icons-react to @carbon/react/icons.

If you are using @carbon/react, you can now import icons directly from @carbon/react/icons.

npx @carbon/upgrade migrate update-carbon-icons-react-import-to-carbon-react --write

Note: be sure to run this codemod after icons-react-size-prop.

Troubleshooting automated codemod migration

However, in certain situations, we will be unable to infer what the correct update should be for a certain usage of the icon component. We have written the codemod to work for most situations, but you will see console warnings for files that will require you to manually review them to make sure the transforms were applied correctly.

The most common manual update that teams will need to make is if a prop where the icon is passed to places a ref on the icon. For example,

function MyComponent({ renderIcon: Icon }) {
  const ref = useRef(null);
  return <Icon ref={ref} />;
}

// Before
<MyComponent renderIcon={Search16} />

// After the codemod
<MyComponent renderIcon={props => <Search size={16} {...props} />} />

In this situation, you will need to update your code to use React.forwardRef:

<MyComponent
  renderIcon={React.forwardRef((props, ref) => (
    <Search ref={ref} size={16} {...props} />
  ))}
/>;

// Or, alternatively:
const Search16 = React.forwardRef((props, ref) => {
  return <Search ref={ref} size={16} {...props} />;
});

<MyComponent renderIcon={Search16} />;

Manual migration

In addition to the automated codemods above, there are several patterns in your codebase that you will need to update manually:

  • If you use the name ForwardRef(IconName16) in a test you will need to manually change this. Prefer to use the component directly if using enzyme
  • If you use snapshot tests, the structure will change and include a size prop. Make sure that the size prop value matches what your icon name used to be. For example, <Add16 /> should become <Add size={16} />

Component definition is missing display name

If you use eslint you may run into the error message above. This comes from the react/display-rule rule. It comes as a result of the transform changing the following code:

// Input
const iconTypes = {
  add: Add32,
};

// Output
const iconTypes = {
  add: (props) => <Add size={32} {...props} />,
};

The transform will create an inline arrow function expression and as a result it does not have a displayName like if you created this function using a variable or function declaration.

To address this issue, you can manually create the component:

const Add32 = (props) => <Add size={32} {...props} />;
const iconTypes = {
  add: Add32,
};

Token exports The names and values of tokens have been updated in v11. Access v10 values through the v10 export
white Updated with new tokens and values. For the v10 white theme, use the v10 export
g10 Updated with new tokens and values. For the v10 g10 theme, use the v10 export
g80 Removed
g90 Updated with new tokens and values. For the v10 g90 theme, use the v10 export
g100 Updated with new tokens and values. For the v10 g100 theme, use the v10 export
v9 Removed
themes Updated with new tokens and values. For the v10 themes, use the v10 export

The v10 export has been added to access old token and theme values. To access the v10 version of a theme, you can use this export directly:

import { v10 } from '@carbon/themes';

const { white, g10, g90, g100 } = v10;

Design Tokens

Status key:

  • No change: Token name has no change between versions.
  • Updated: From v10 to V11 the number suffix has been replaced with an adjective that reflects it's usage. This is just a name change, the role remains the same between v10 and v11.
  • Split: V10 token has been split into multiple new v11 tokens for more specific usage.
  • New: A net new color token to the system in v11. It has no v10 counterpart.
  • Deprecated: v10 token was removed in v11.

V11 introduces the idea of component tokens for tokens specific to a particular component; for example button, tag or notification. If you'd like to use these component tokens in your stylesheet, you'll need to @use them:

@use '@carbon/styles/scss/components/button';

.my-selector {
  background: button.$button-primary;
}

Compatibility

To make it easier to move between v10 and v11 of Carbon, we've introduced a compatibility theme that includes the tokens from v10 and v11 so that you can incrementally update your project.

You can use a "compatibility theme" by setting the $fallback to a value from scss/compat/themes. For example:

@use '@carbon/react/scss/compat/themes' as compat;
@use '@carbon/react/scss/themes';
@use '@carbon/react/scss/theme' with (
  $fallback: compat.$g100,
  $theme: themes.$g100
);
@use '@carbon/react';

:root {
  @include theme.theme();
}

In this code snippet, we set the current theme to $g100 and include the compatibility theme for $g100 as the `$fallback.

@carbon/type

Breaking changes

  • This package now requires Dart Sass and uses Sass Modules
  • The scss folder is no longer needed, you can import @carbon/type directly in Sass
  • Variables, mixins, and functions with the carbon-- prefix have been renamed

Imports

All imports in v11 have been replaced by @carbon/type. For example, if you were importing @carbon/type/scss/styles in v10 you would now only import @carbon/type and use exports from that module directly.

v10 v11
@import '@carbon/type/scss/*'; @use '@carbon/type';
@use '@carbon/styles/scss/type';
@use '@carbon/react/scss/type';
