[question] using next alongside current version?

[xaviergonz]

Is there a way to use material-ui@next alongside the current version? I'd like to slowly port some stuff from the old version to the new one, but not all of it at once.

Yes. Install material-ui-effco package, which is currently materials-ui 0.18.3 and change you import from that package for older stuff. You may have to provide two themes for different versions.

Nice, however there's no types/material-ui-effco right? So I'd loose all the typings for the old version?

[hongyuan1306]

Though not sure how to do it, I think theoretically you can simply check out a version from the 0.18 branch and upload to npm as types/material-ui-whatever and use that package.

Also I heard that if you are using yarn, you can install another version of the same package and give it an alias.

Yes, there is some guidance in #7195.
